Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, plays this video game to stay calm

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recently shared how he maintains his calm. In a recent podcast interview, the world’s richest man disclosed that playing a video game helps him stay grounded. He’s not only a fan of the game but ranks in the top 20 players worldwide.

Appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Musk revealed his rank among the top 20 players globally in Diablo IV, an action role-playing game with about 6 million players. Notably, only two Americans, including Musk, make the top 20 list, which is largely dominated by players from Asia. "The top 20... even the top 100 is totally dominated by China, with some players from Korea and Taiwan," Musk, 35, explained during the podcast.

“Playing a video game on extreme difficulty requires my full concentration, and it has a calming effect on me,” Musk told Rogan. When asked about his in-game handle, Musk mentioned, “They actually listed me by my real name on the leaderboard.”

About Diablo IV

Released in 2023 by Blizzard Entertainment, Diablo IV is the latest installment in the popular Diablo series. Known for its dark fantasy world, fast-paced combat, and immersive storytelling, Diablo IV offers five core character classes: Barbarian, Sorcerer, Rogue, Druid, and Necromancer. The game’s gothic art style features eerie monsters and macabre details, making it a favorite among fans of dark fantasy gaming.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk has been sued in a proposed class action by registered voters who signed his petition to support the Constitution for a chance to win his $1 million-a-day giveaway, and now claim it was a fraud.

The complaint filed by Arizona resident Jacqueline McAferty in the Austin, Texas federal court said Musk and his America PAC organization falsely induced voters to sign by claiming they would choose winners randomly, though they were predetermined.
