Tweet by CEO of electric car maker and video games fan says he is looking for designers to create games that integrate the car and touch screen with phones

Game developers: Elon Musk, co-founder and CEO of electric car maker Tesla, is looking to hire you for an unlikely project.

“If you’re into video game development, consider applying to Tesla,” Musk tweeted on Wednesday.

“We want to make super fun games that integrate the centre touch screen, phone and car [in real life].”

You may be wondering what in the world it means to create games for a car. Well, that remains unclear.

“An interactive game between Tesla owners near each other would be incredible,” one Twitter user said to Musk, who responded with: “Something like that, but more of an adults-in-cars anime vibe.”

Presumably the game would be playable only when the car was not in motion. Presumably! Or maybe it is only for passengers to play?
