Elon Musk is a very busy man. He runs companies like X, Tesla, and SpaceX. He is one of the biggest supporters of Donald Trump for the presidential elections.

And he somehow found time to rank among the Top 20 players in Diablo IV.

Elon Musk is a Top-Ranked Player in 'Diablo IV'

The world's richest man made the revelation during his last-minute appearance on the podcast hosted by Joe Rogan. According to Kotaku, Musk does come in at number 20 for the quickest run times for the hardest version of The Pit.

"There's only two Americans in the top 20," Musk said in the podcast. "The rest, almost everyone is from Asia otherwise."

Kotaku adds that his time of 2:45 was added just days ago, and his gaming alt account on X shows that he's been doing Pit runs for weeks.

John Carmack Confirms Authenticity of Musk's Ranking

Many are, naturally doubtful about the legitimacy of Musk's ranking, given his demanding schedule as of late. Not only does he head multiple companies, but he's also spent time campaigning for Donald Trump.

Doom programmer and Oculus co-founder John Carmack has taken to social media to confirm that the ranking is indeed real.

"I know it sounds unbelievable, but it is true," Carmack said on X. "He plays a LOT, on top of everything else he does, and he is incredibly serious about it."

Musk himself replied to the tweet, saying "Video games are my main non-work, non-family/friends activity."
