Elon Musk cleared Level 150 pit in Diablo 4 in record time, 1:52s

With the sheer amount of time you need to grind the gear to be able to do this you can`t tell me that pretty much all of his work ethics blabla isn`t utter bullshit at this point. Unless of course playing diablo now counts as work.....
So he has people running his companies, Nannies taking care of his kids and pumps the rest of his time in diablo and interviews.

I assume he does a lot of his gaming while travelling.

Remember him talking with Rogan about this and that he needs the challenge from these games to get his mind off of other stuff in his life.
 
I don’t play Diablo. How many hours would you say he puts into the game on a daily basis to achieve this?

Where does Musk even live? Doesn’t he not own a house?

You don’t see him on fancy yachts like Bezo’s.

Just hear about his private jet he takes to travel between his different company headquarters and such.

Any Diablo 4 experts that can chime in on how big of an achievement this is?

Maybe he is playing himself, but had help with optimizing the build and game plan?

Imagine being the guy Musk pays to play Diablo for him. What a life!!! JK
Has he ever streamed himself playing?

Is Diablo IV good now? I played the beta and it was awful.
If you want a more casual ARPG where you can jump on and feel like you’re making progress by levelling up and getting better gear very quickly then yes.

It is however as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle for more hardcore players looking for more of an in depth ‘end game’ which is why those players much prefer Path of Exile which is much more influenced by Diablo II (lots of builds based around certain sometimes rare loot) rather than Diablo III (Diablo IV is basically a continuation of Diablo III at this point).

In summary Diablo IV is very fun in short bursts (one or two characters every reset) especially if you get the game on Game Pass. Path of Exile II looks insane though and looks to have both the more casual and hardcore players covered from previews.

Musk is like a Bond villain. On one side he's just not a good person but on the other side he does all this coll stuff.

One of the superpowers of a person in his position is the power to delegate. In fact he would not be a success at all if he lacked that skill.

Played few hundo hours of d4 myself, am veteran gamer who loves the hack and slash genre and i tell u to reach top ladder charts u gotta play/be on a skill lvl of a streamer(not saying u urself have to be one ofc), Elon has high IQ and is somewhat "autistic" so i bet he could min max his gear on his own, skillwise he is 53yo so likely far past his prime reflexes wise, given he is the riches mofo out there, 99,9999% some1 played on his account.
If it was him on his own i bet he would stream it for proof, since as a gamer its achievement u gotta beat tens of k's hardcore gamers for.
At least hundreds of hours played that season for him, but knowledge accumulated suggest much more than that, so likely some1 played on his account.

TLDR: D4 exclusive steamers, who stream 10h+ on a daily basis, and make a living out of that(aka no normal work, not even part time), have hard time to even get close to what Elon's char did(again not believe here 53yo can be on that skill lvl, maybe if he was ex- e-sport player who got treated by father chronos very gently skill wise, so super unlikely that richest person in the world is at that lvl :p ).
