Elon Musk is currently the richest man in the world with a net worth of over $200 billion. He could go anywhere and do anything, and he apparently chose to spend inordinate hours searching for prey Diablo IV The Tesla CEO revealed on the Joe Rogan podcast in a surprise last-minute appearance before the election that he is one of the top 20 players in Blizzard's hit action role-playing game.

“There are only two Americans in the top 20,” he told Rogan in an episode that appeared Monday. “The rest almost all come from Asia.” It sounds like an exaggeration, but the leaderboard for the game shows that Musk is number 20 when it comes to fastest run times for the hardest version of an end-game dungeon activity called The Pit.

He had a time of 2:45, which according to his gaming alt account on X (formerly known as Twitter), was set just a few days ago. The report shows that he has been doing pit runs for weeks, even though he is obsessed with it Diablo IV was previously well documented. Activision even tried to tie him up at some point in the marketing of the game.

Even if it's Musk's report, not everyone believes he did all the work to set the record himself. How does a CEO of several companies who constantly posts on social media and is currently campaigning for president on behalf of convicted felon Donald Trump find time? Did he hire someone to farm loot for him or buy equipment on the black market? Or maybe a smooth brain resonates Diablo IV is truly the aggrieved tech billionaire's happy place.

During his interview with Rogan, Musk said he believes gaming is being unfairly vilified as a waste of time. Instead, he argued that it can be calming and restorative by forcing people to focus exclusively on solving difficult problems or overcoming complex challenges.

“When I try to get an extremely good zero time in Diablo or something like that or a first-person shooter, whatever the case may be, I notice that I'm tired or my brain isn't functioning as well as it should should,” he said. “It’s like a mental calibration. You can tell straight away how good you are?”

Musk and Rogan also discussed whether surgeons would be required to demonstrate their proficiency in video games as part of their medical training. The discussion came days after Musk failed to appear in court over a lawsuit accusing him of running an illegal lottery in Pennsylvania to help register people to vote for Trump. Maybe he was busy grinding Diablo IV. The judge ultimately decided in his favor.
