Elon Musk Ventures into Gaming: Announces Diablo 4 Speedrun Livestream

Tech mogul Elon Musk has surprised the gaming community by announcing his intention to livestream a speedrun of Diablo 4. While Musk is renowned for his groundbreaking work in fields like electric vehicles and space exploration, this marks his first public foray into the gaming world.

Musk shared his plans via Twitter, initially scheduling the livestream for September 27 at 11 p.m. CT, with the aim of testing Twitter’s livestream scaling. Although Musk had previously revealed his Diablo 4 character’s name and expressed his interest in the game, he emphasized that this speedrun wouldn’t be a professional-level performance. He set his sights on completing a Tier 99 Nightmare dungeon but advised viewers to “keep their expectations low,” acknowledging the game’s challenging nature.

Notably, Musk pledged to undertake the speedrun without using malignant hearts, which boost character stats and provide unique abilities, adding an extra layer of difficulty to his endeavor.

Musk’s announcement garnered significant attention, amassing millions of views, likes, and retweets, highlighting the gaming community’s curiosity about his gaming prowess. With Diablo 4’s highly anticipated update slated for October 17, 2023, fans of the series and newcomers alike are likely eager to see how Musk fares in the demonic world of Diablo.

While this may not be a professional speedrun, it’s undeniably an intriguing venture for Musk and the gaming world.
