Elon Musk’s Diablo IV Speedrun: Skill or Exploit?
A Controversial Achievement
Elon Musk recently shared a video of himself completing Diablo IV’s challenging The Pit dungeon in under two minutes. While this could be a world record, many Diablo fans suspect Musk exploited a game bug.
A Reddit comment points to a recently discovered exploit involving the Elixir of Antivenin. This item, intended to provide a temporary 15% health boost, was instead drastically increasing health pools. Blizzard is already working on a patch, but Musk’s speedrun occurred while the bug was active.
The Elixir Exploit Theory
The theory suggests Musk used a Spiritborne build that scales damage with HP, making the Elixir bug incredibly powerful. It’s further alleged he hid his damage numbers in the video to conceal the extent of the exploit.
This isn’t surprising given Musk’s history of obfuscation. He’s been known to misrepresent Tesla technology, promote fake news, and even conceal personal information. His boastful caption on the Diablo video – “So many life lessons to be learned…” – only adds fuel to the fire.
Conclusion
Whether Musk’s Diablo IV speedrun was legitimate skill or an exploit remains debated. The timing coincides with a known bug, and Musk’s past behavior lends credence to the theory of exploitation. The truth, as with many things Musk-related, may remain elusive.
