Elon Musk launches attack on Fortnite players and jokes that game will be shut down

Elon Musk is engaged in a bizarre fight with Fortnite fans after he appeared to call them "virgins". The SpaceX and Tesla boss – who has been repeatedly criticised over his tweets – posted a picture of a fake news article that seemed to suggest fans of the video game are "virgins". "Elon Musk buys Fortnite and deletes it," the hoax news story, shared on Mr Musk's Twitter, read. It claimed that the billionaire had said he had to remove the game to protect players from "eternal virginity". The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
