Diablo 4 “doesn’t need skill” says Elon Musk, Blizzard boss claps back
Diablo 4‘s Sanctuary is an expansive, diverse world, but did I expect to hear that Elon Musk is hacking and slashing his way through Blizzard’s latest RPG game? No, no I didn’t. During a recent Twitter Spaces, you can hear the X CEO tearing Lilith’s legions asunder, but he claims you “don’t need a lot of skill” to actually play Diablo 4.
During a Sunday, July 23 Twitter space entitled ‘No one talk until we summon Elon Musk,’ the man himself can be heard playing Diablo 4 in the background – most likely running one of the best Diablo 4 Rogue builds, if my ears are correct.
“I’m just playing some Diablo 4 right now,” he states when questioned about the ‘X’ rebrand, continuing “you interrupted my game of Diablo 4 for discussions about what?” He then promptly reveals that his “character in Diablo 4 is called ‘IWillNeverDie,'” but quickly clarifies that “he has died, by the way.”
“You don’t need a lot of skill to play Diablo 4 to be fully frank,” he continues. “It’s not like a hardcore skill game – it’s not like League [of Legends] or something.”
In response to the comment, Blizzard president Mike ‘Qwik’ Ybarra replies “maybe I should have the team see how many times he’s actually died – what think? Wonder if he’s playing hardcore.” Note to self: don’t say that Diablo 4 is easy. Got it.

Whether or not that would be a good thing I’ll leave up to your interpretation.
What’s best not left to interpretation, however, are the best Diablo 4 builds – trust me when I say they’re the best
