Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard Entertainment, learned that Elon Musk’s Diablo 4 character has the name “IWillNeverDie,” and he is curious as to whether or not the founder of Twitter has lived true to the moniker. Elon Musk mentioned that he has been playing Diablo 4 with a character called “IWillNeverDie” in a Twitter Space on July 23. Ybarra learned of this right away and is considering asking the developers of the game to determine whether Elon Musk’s character has indeed passed away and whether he is currently engaged in Hardcore mode.
For context, if you play Diablo 4 in hardcore mode and die, your character will be deleted instantly. So seeing that he was playing during the Spaces, it would be safe to say that he still hasn’t died yet if he was playing on hardcore mode.
A little digging and it seems like Elon Musk is playing as a Druid, but we still can’t confirm whether he’s playing in hardcore mode or not.
In that same Twitter Space, Musk also revealed that he’s proud of himself for finishing Halo Infinite on Legendary difficulty. Someone asked Elon if he played Super Smash Bros, with the Tesla founder laughing and acknowledging that while his kids love it, he thought the game was silly at first but then found it to be complicated.
As of writing, there’s no response from Elon about the tweet at this moment. However, it isn’t farfetched to say that Elon is a gamer. He once revealed that video games have been a large part of his life and were why he got into the tech industry. He has also revealed his favorite games which include Overwatch, which is another game by Blizzard Entertainment. He also played an absolutely terrible Elden Ring build though, so he may not be a very good gamer.
