In an unexpected revelation, Elon Musk shared on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast that he’s ranked in the top 20 on Diablo 4’s global leaderboard. The news caught not only Joe Rogan off-guard but also fans worldwide, who are astonished to hear that the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has achieved such a high ranking in one of the most competitive video games.
During the podcast, Musk spoke about video games and how they serve as a mental release, even suggesting they help him gauge his own stress levels. In episode #2223, Musk mentioned that only two Americans are in Diablo 4’s top 20 leaderboard—and he’s one of them. This revelation has sparked questions among fans, considering how Musk’s responsibilities typically leave him with minimal free time. Some fans on social media even speculated that Musk may have someone else playing on his account, though Musk himself has expressed a genuine enthusiasm for the game.
Diablo 4, released last year, has quickly grown into a massive success, especially after a surge in popularity on Steam in October, where it reached over 55,000 active players. Players praise the game for its mythic unique items, which provide powerful perks and a fresh level of customization. However, Diablo 4’s bugs and technical issues, such as problems with Rawhide and Iron Chunks, continue to challenge many players in their climb up the leaderboard.
Blizzard Entertainment has been actively refining Diablo 4, releasing hotfixes and expansions like Vessel of Hatred to improve the player experience. The game’s recent Season 6 introduced updates to the Paragon system, which have been well received by the community, with Season 7 promising even more.
Musk’s surprise ranking highlights both his dedication to the game and Diablo 4’s global appeal. As fans eagerly await Season 7, Musk’s involvement brings an intriguing celebrity spotlight to the world of Diablo 4.
