Gabe Newell Emailed Elon Musk To Try To Get Hideo Kojima An Invite To SpaceX

Thanks to the ongoing trial pitting billionaires Elon Musk and Sam Altman against each other, it's come to light that Valve founder Gabe Newell--the third billionaire in this story--emailed Musk to ask if Hideo Kojima could get a tour of SpaceX.

In an email from October 2018, Newell wrote to Musk telling him that Kojima really wants to go to space. Newell thought Musk--who runs SpaceX--might be a good person to talk to. "He'd love to get a SpaceX tour," Newell wrote to Musk, according to PC Gamer.

Musk wrote back to Newell, saying, "Sure, it would be great to meet Hideo Kojima and he's welcome to see the rocket factory." Whether or not Kojima actually got this tour is unknown, however.
