Whereas X continues to spiral in relevancy, its proprietor Elon Musk spent the vacations grinding Diablo 4’s hardest dungeon and even teamed up with its hottest streamers for some assist.
“Christmas Eve I spent 17 hours on Diablo,” Musk mentioned whereas guesting on Diablo streamer Wudijo’s stream just a few weeks in the past. Musk was too embarrassed to say what all that grinding amounted to with regard to his seasonal glyph stage, however he assured Wudijo that it was excessive sufficient to outlive tier 24 (of 25) of the Abattoir of Zir dungeon. “I haven’t got any excuses besides myself.”
For some context: Musk is taking part in a poison shred Druid, one of many weakest builds for clearing out all of the enemies and managers packed into the early tiers of the Abattoir of Zir. To achieve tiers above 20, it’s worthwhile to spend hours and hours grinding the decrease ones to realize sufficient energy from the Tears of Blood glyph to beat the dungeon’s strict 10-minute timer. He should’ve spent many 17-hour days taking part in Diablo 4—or talked different gamers into letting him leech XP—to have a glyph robust sufficient to do tier 24.
Musk would not have something significantly fascinating to say about Diablo 4 apart from that he is taking part in it in Wudijo’s video of the collaboration—that is the person who mained Soldier: 76, probably the most vanilla hero in Overwatch, thoughts you. It is 12 minutes of one of many richest males on the planet explaining his construct to one of many lead writers of the largest Diablo information web site, Maxroll, and quoting a meme about Barbarians as if he got here up with it himself, which Wudijo unintentionally shot down by replying with, “I noticed that meme as nicely, I posted it.”
Final week, Musk joined Rob2628, one other widespread Diablo streamer and possibly the most effective Barbarian gamers on the planet, to co-op via tier 25. Musk streamed the run himself on X and answered questions on streaming on the platform. In a single run, whereas Rob2628 casually theorizes easy methods to speedrun tier 25, Musk steers his druid straight right into a barrage of nasty AoE assaults from the ultimate bosses and fails the run. Rob2628, a participant who has spent the final a number of weeks coaching within the Abattoir of Zir, jokingly tells Musk that he’ll cease speaking to keep away from distracting him. And it labored: Musk conquered one of many few challenges in his life and completed a tier 25 in simply over six minutes with Rob2628’s assist.
It was solely a pair months in the past that Musk was having a match about not having the ability to defeat Uber Lilith in Diablo 4 on his Druid. However similar to his time taking part in in Quake tournaments, Musk went and located significantly better gamers to hold him to the highest.
