Elon Musk tweet his support for Genshin Impact after the game developer launch a Twitter campaign for game character Ella Musk

Tesla CEO and founder of SpaceX Elon Musk tweeted his support for Genshin Impact shortly after the game’s developer Shanghai-based miHoYo launched a community campaign to get one of the world’s wealthiest people to play and stream the game.

A few hours before Musk’s tweet, Genshin Impact launched a Twitter challenge aimed at getting players to follow the Twitter account of Ella Musk, a minor Genshin character characterized as a scholar who wants to learn the Hilichurlian language in order to communicate with the Hilichurls.

The funny thing about Ella Musk is that it shares a nearly identical name with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. In order to get as many followers as possible, miHoYo would not only invite Elon Musk to play and stream the game. The company would also invite Tesla CEO to its headquarters after Ella Musk received 5 million followers.

The Genshin Impact’s tweet read:

Dear Travelers, To celebrate reaching 2 Million followers and then some, Paimon has decided to host a community challenge! Follow Ella Musk @Paimon2theMoon and check out the image below for what will happen when each milestone is reached!
-If Ella Musk’s account hit 500,000 followers, Genshin Impact would change its name back to PAIMON, the way it used to be.
-If Ella Musk’s account hit 1 million followers, Ella Musk would follow Elon Musk on Twitter.
-At 3 million followers, Genshin Impact would invite Elon Musk to stream the game.
-At 5 million followers, miHoYo’s CEO would invite Elon Musk to come to their headquarters.
