Why Elon Musk is WRONG about Polytopia

Описание: Elon Musk is the most famous advocate of The Battle of Polytopia — calling it the best strategy game ever made, even better than chess. He put the game in every Tesla vehicle. But what does Elon Musk actually know about Polytopia?

In this video, we break down Elon Musk’s Polytopia life lessons and explain why many of his ideas about the strategy game are wrong. The things Elon Musk said he learned from Polytopia, namely to be fearless, take more risks, and double down, will NOT help you win Polytopia.

Examining some of Elon Musk’s Polytopia inspired life lessons, we explain what truly makes a great Polytopia player:

✔ Anticipating opponent moves
✔ Critical thinking and planning
✔ Keeping options open
✔ Adapting to RNG and map conditions
✔ Knowing when to change strategy

If you love Polytopia, strategy games, or analyzing Elon Musk’s philosophy, this video will change how you think about the game.
