Elon Musk, who is known not only as the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, but also a passionate fan of video games. Recently, this billionaire has just made waves in the gaming community with his new achievement in Diablo IV – the famous action role-playing game of Blizzard. Accordingly, Musk is not just a normal player, as he often shows off on social networks the challenges he overcomes at extremely high difficulty. And this time, it seems that he has set a goal to become the number 1 person in the Diablo IV community.
Musk recently decided to tackle Artificer’s Well, one of the toughest challenges in Diablo IV’s Sanctuary world. This is where players from all over the world race to complete a level 150 level in the shortest amount of time. To determine who is the best, the community often uses a leaderboard from helltides.com, which compiles the achievements of the top players.
Currently, the leader of this ranking is an American gamer named Resistance, with an amazing achievement: it took only 1 minute and 59 seconds to complete the challenge. However, Elon Musk is ready to “dethrone” this position after he posted a clip on his social network account X (formerly Twitter), showing that he completed the challenge in just 1 minute and 52 seconds – 7 seconds faster than Resistance.
Musk is currently ranked 44th on the helltides.com leaderboard with a time of 2 minutes and 45 seconds. However, if his latest result is confirmed, Musk will jump straight to the top of the leaderboard, becoming the fastest Diablo IV player in the world in this challenge.
Still, the leaderboard only lists 1,125 achievements in total, and the community is still waiting to see if Musk’s results will be recognized. While there is some debate as to whether Musk is truly the “best player,” there’s no denying that completing the Artificer’s Well challenge in such a short time is incredibly impressive.
It’s no coincidence that Elon Musk has taken the time to break records in a game like Diablo IV. Musk has long been a serious gamer, and has said that playing games helps him develop problem-solving and strategic thinking skills. In addition to Diablo IV, Musk’s favorite games include Overwatch, Deus Ex, Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Mass Effect 2, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, and Saints Row IV.
