Elon Musk may already be the richest person in the world but he’s managed to squeeze another crown on his head.

As if Musk didn’t have enough to do making self-driving robotaxis and dancing on stage with Donald Trump, he’s been playing enough Diablo 4 to make it to the top 20 players in the world.

And it turns out he’s not only that, but apparently has even taken the top spot.

For those of us who are not avid gamers, Diablo IV is an action role-playing dungeon game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment in 2023.

And The Pit Tier 150 is ‘a brutal endgame activity’ in the game, with Aoeah explaining: “Pushing to the highest levels requires optimized builds. While every class can complete the campaign and various raids, the Pit is where the real test begins.

“[…] If you’re not running a meta build, you’ll hit a wall, so consider these builds not just for fun but for true progression.”

And apparently Musk has conquered Tier 150 and in record-breaking time too.

During an appearance on Joe Rogan’s show, Musk said he’s made the top 20 Diablo 4 players across the globe but later took to social media sharing a post which seemingly means he’s actually earned the top spot as a result of clearing the 150 tier and in record-breaking time too.

Musk took to his Twitter page to reveal he managed to complete the pit in ‘under two mins,’ sharing video footage to prove it.

And would it really be a Musk post unless it came with a rogue philosophical comment?

He added: “So many life lessons to be learned from speedrunning video games on max difficulty. Teaches you to see the matrix, rather than simply exist in the matrix.”

Oh and a cringey joke too. “That’s what she said,” he added.

But what does the leaderboard actually say?

Well, at the time of writing, Musk is actually ranked a whole lot lower than the top spot or even top 20.

Hell Tides’ Diablo 4 Season 6 Pit Leaderboard sees Musk come in at position 44 – a far cry from the top spot.

Musk’s time on the leaderboard for tier 150 is stated as two minutes 45 seconds.

And in the top spot? a user called ‘Resistance’ who’s stated as being from the US and coming in with a time of one minute 59 seconds for tier 150.

However, Resistance’s video proof on YouTube showing them completing the tier in such a time is dated as being from two weeks ago.

So, with Musk’s Twitter post posted yesterday, that technically makes the leaderboard not fully up to date and him the top player in the world.
