While he isn't making history by catching SpaceX rockets using robot hands, Elon Musk is busy grinding in Diablo IV like everyone else. And like everyone else, he had a fantastic time defeating Diablo IV's Pit 150 in just under 2 minutes.

Posted on his official X account, Elon talks about learning life lessons by watching speedrunners and how these difficult games teach players how to see the matrix while showcasing his Diablo IV Spiritborn gameplay.

He finished the pit with 13:04 minutes left on the timer, making him Diablo IV's top player globally. While the gameplay looked fantastic, Elon's absurd damage output does not seem to be coming from pure Diablo grind.

It appears to be a bug exploit. Well played, Elon.

In a recent X post, Diablo IV's global director of community, Adam Fletcher, confirmed that a patch related to elixir items will be rolled out to fix this fun issue. The bug lets players have an immense amount of HP, which then can be turned into damage.

Having millions of damage converted from HP turns you into a Blizzard One-Punch Man, which is something Elon is showing in his recent clip.

While we agree that seeing the matrix is something that should happen soon, considering how gaming in 2024 is getting ridiculous, Elon's sub-2-minute Diablo IV run isn't recognized as the fastest speed run ever based on the Helltides Diablo IV leaderboard.

Elon isn't the only one having fun with these bugs, though. Many players in the Diablo IV subreddit were ecstatic that they could finally finish Diablo IV's endgame content.

Others returned to playing the game and then quickly abandoned it after the developers fixed the patch, which shows that Diablo IV's latest expansion did not make the game popular again among its community.

Unfortunately, Diablo IV's Vessel of Hatred needs more work to be considered a GOTY nominee by The Game Awards.

If you missed the golden opportunity to dish out millions of damage in Diablo IV just like Elon, be on top of your game and stay updated with the latest gaming news and stories by following Gfinity Esports.
