Elon Musk May Say He Loves Elden Ring, But Is He Actually Any Good?

The man's equip load won't be taking him off into space.

SUMMARY

  • Elon Musk's build in Elden Ring is so bad that people believe this has to be a troll account and not an actual player 'showing off'.
  • The build consists of multiple weapons and shields equipped at once with random Spirit Ashes, all in one package that leads to fat rolling.
  • Elon's reputation as a gamer keeps rising and falling, but Shadow of the Erdtree might get him back into playing the game for real this time.

Elon Musk is famous for having a colorful life. From conceptualizing ideas that send people into space to enjoying video games, he’s pretty much the celebrity persona people tend to admire. However, sometimes not every game is Diablo IV, and titles like Elden Ring can pose a challenge even to a person like him.

His character stats revealed the truth about his playthrough, and the numbers are baffling. Even after having a leveled-up character, the equipment and stats feel like something an internet troll would suggest. Or did Elon mindlessly play through the game despite the horrible character stats?

At level 111, Elon’s Character in Elden Ring is Still Fat-Rolling

Elden Ring builds
The number of things equipped on this build is enough to fund three Tarnished players.

Equip load matters a lot in Elden Ring. The lower it is, the easier it becomes for your character to move about. Even a medium roll is fine as long as you’re able to land those blows and dodge a few attacks. But the trouble arrives when the Tarnished is carrying more weight than they can handle. And that seems to be the choice of life for Elon Musk in Elden Ring.

Elon’s character is at level 111 and chooses to carry two shields for… some reason that isn’t making sense. There are multiple Spirit Ashes (not all of them are great) and three different weapons being carried around. Why, Elon, why? The stat numbers don’t make sense either.

The character’s HP stays around 1000, FP at 221, and stamina around 100. These aren’t giving anyone the rightful authority to fat-roll their way through the game, let alone complete the journey on their own. Comments on the source video are nothing short of hilarious:

Its called the “CEO build”, where he sits back and eventually other people will do the work for him.

User Justme-jp8ih remarks.

It’s truly a mystery whether Elon actually used the same build to enjoy the game or did it in an attempt to troll the community. After all, Elden Ring is full of players who can go to any length to give the game a unique twist.

Elon Musk’s Infatuation with Gaming Seems to Have Extreme Ends

Elon Musk gaming
Elon’s background in the gaming community has earned him a reputation for playing some hardcore games.

Long ago, Elon expressed how he had been a long-time fan of video games. He’d casually enjoy Overwatch, and to this day, he has showcased his skillsets in games like Diablo 4. It’s not a surprise that his love for RPG games in general may have poured over into Elden Ring too. However, these stats and character build tell a different story.

There’s no hardcore evidence that this is really, in fact, Elon’s own build in the game. It’s difficult to believe that he would actually play the game like this instead of sticking to a weapon or damage type in the endgame scenario.

Regardless of this insane build, it’s high time we got to know what Elon Musk has planned for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Hopefully, this time around, we’ll get to see a playthrough and build of someone who knows what they’re doing, rather than live up to some absurd expectations.
