Elon Musk’s Record-Breaking Diablo 4 Speedrun Sparks Praise and Doubts

The tech billionaire cleared Diablo 4’s hardest endgame challenge in 1:52, but some gamers question the legitimacy of his achievement.

Elon Musk completed Diablo 4’s Level 150 Artificer Pit in 1:52, potentially securing the top spot on the game’s global leaderboard.
The Artificer Pit is widely regarded as the game’s most difficult challenge, with most top players taking close to two minutes to complete it.
Musk’s speedrun utilized a Spiritborn build benefiting from a known damage-boosting bug, which Blizzard has confirmed won’t be patched until Season 7.
Skeptics point to Musk’s underwhelming Elden Ring performance as evidence that he may have received outside help for his Diablo 4 feat.
Musk, who ranks among the top 20 players globally, claims gaming sharpens his focus and has openly discussed his passion for competitive gaming.
