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

Hardcore or softcore?

If softcore, that record means nothing.
Soft I think but doesn't matter at all in this case because he was using like double "cheats". First class/build he plays is broken this season, second mid season patch introduced another glitch (patched few hours ago) and one potion insteed boosting hp by 15%, mutiple it several times (for example on my sorc HP boosted from 20k to over 660k) making your character basically invissible. His build scales dmg with HP so it was almost twice broken as before.

Especially since he said "you need to focus 200% on your job no distractions" meanwhile he is traveling around the world and has like so many DIFFERENT companies
Maybe he sees hes job as playing Diablo, and all the other shit is just a laugh.
 
Diablo 4 is a game where the time you put into it matters most. As you need to grind for a crazy amount of materials and gear. So Elon must spend at least a few hours daily playing.

What you talking about lol? First, he is playing broken class/build, second he clearly buys equipment for real money as he showed his gear week of season started and he has 3GA already. Third, midseason patch introduced another game breaking glitch (patched few hours ago), antivein potion boosted HP multiple times insteed by 15%, checked on my sorc and boosted HP from 20k to over 660k.
I mainly plays sorc so my spiritborn is like 25% power of his (Im able to finnish PIT120-125 without elixir glitch) and with elixir glitch I cleared PIT150 solo under 5min at 1st try, later I was running it with random parties and multiple times we achieved less than 2 minutes clears. There's no much about skill to do this, just broken build with right equipment plus broken elixir and some rng luck, you are basically invisible and running from elite pack to another elite pack and "one hitting" them, including boss. Just watch video he posted.
This sheeds new lights on the topic, and it has the vid of the run:

Do we even know if it's him? Mr beast pays someone full time to play some game for him and dominate it. Sounds almost the same here.

It's funny seeing people say he probably paid someone to do this for him. Of all of the things Elon Musk is involved in this is the one thing I think he can definitely do on his own without help.

people are so gullible, this is a multib. wanna be oligarch trying to convince you he's one of you, but better, richer, more intelligent of course.
 
He pays people to have his babies, it's very possible he pays someone to grind his build and does the fun parts

It would make sense to skip the grinding and just pay for materials and gear. He is a businessman after all and likes efficiency. Grind games like Diablo 4 are obviously not very efficient.

Ketamin is a great drug to take for grinding games as it allows you to zone out and go into an almost automatic mode, playing games likes this or Vampire Survivors on that drug would allow some people to just rush through it.

Like Adderall at pro game comps and speed-runs.
 
Same as with all his inventions, it started with money from south african mines and it continues with him paying people to do stuff and then taking credit.
If Elon never actually did anything and paid people to entirely start and run every single one of his companies that would still make him one of if not the most impressive entrepreneurs of all time because it is equally impossible to have that high of a percentage hitrate on finding talent. Saying "I hand picked the guy that created SpaceX" and "I created SpaceX" are damn near equivalent feats.

I can assure you that having money is not the hurdle stopping you from making SpaceX 2.
 
Of all people you post that dude, lmao.

Can't blame anyone for assuming one of the richest dudes could just, I dunno, pay someone to do it, lmao.
I mean even the premise of that is retarded, why would someone pay somebody to play Diablo? It's not a competitive game, there's no world championship, nobody gives a fuck about it

To get something done for them that they themselves can't/won't do. It's silly and unfortunate, but not uncommon, haha.

I mean if you're talking about doing yard work or cleaning your house or something un-fun then sure, but this is a video game, you play video games for fun, why the fuck would you pay someone to have fun for you

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?
It means he spent hours and hours and hours grinding mats and gear. I'm sure he's good at the game - but it's the time investment that really lets him do this.

Yeah I'm sure it's totally him and not someone he just paid to do it for him for brownie points :pie_eyeroll:. The man is so desperate for attention lol
