Many Travelers were left perplexed this week following a tweet on the official Genshin Impact<\/a> account, announcing a “community challenge”, unlike anything Travelers had seen previously. Then Elon Musk entered and things took a strange and equally bizarre turn.<\/p>\n

The community’s response was as many expected it to be as the developer, miHoYo, took down the challenge but many will never forget. Even Musk himself responded to the campaign, basking in the fun despite the backlash.<\/p>\n

Are Genshin Impact and Musk working on a collaboration?<\/h2>\n

As the details of the viral campaign have been deleted, screenshots of the tweet are still circulating on social media as well as online community forums. The developer tweeted out on 14th October a call-to-action for its Travelers in honour of the Twitter account achieving the 2 million followers milestone with a community challenge.<\/p>\n

According to the tweet, the challenge stipulated by miHoYo is for all Travelers to follow the Twitter account, @Paimon2theMoon<\/a>. The account belongs to one of the game’s NPCs Ella Musk, who can be found wandering the city of Mondstadt. Renowned for her proficiency in Hilichurlian linguistics, the character was for certain inspired by the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

In the aforementioned deleted tweet, the community challenge detailed a milestone tier that they wished to achieve should the Genshin Impact Twitter reach a particular amount of followers.<\/p>\n
