Elon Musk, video game king? Well, maybe not


By Eli TanMike Isaac

Musk has pushed for a high profile in the gaming world for years. According to Walter Isaacson’s biography of the billionaire, Musk demanded a role in 'Cyberpunk 2077', the much-hyped, futuristic video game franchise that debuted in 2020. — Reuters

SAN FRANCISCO: On its face, the claim feels improbable: In addition to being the world’s richest man, the CEO of multiple companies and a key adviser to President Donald Trump, Elon Musk says he is also a world-class video game player.

It is a claim that Musk has repeated through the years. He has an account on X, his social media platform, dedicated to posting highlights of his gameplay. He has streamed with some of the top competitive video game players in the world on such platforms as Twitch. He has even etched his name on the global leaderboards of certain games.
