Musk’s Streaming Adventure
On October 6, 2023, Elon Musk embarked on a wild journey into the realm of game streaming via the once-famous Twitter, now revamped as X. He took to the platform to play the iconic Diablo 4 in a 50-minute live stream that promised viewers an adventure more thrilling than a rollercoaster ride without the height restrictions.
Streaming with Style
As the stream commenced, Musk made his intentions clear: “We want everything to sound normal, look decent, and let the comments flow freely,” he said, channeling his inner tech guru. Surprisingly, everything cooperated, and the stream offered an experience that was as smooth as his car company’s latest model.
A Peek into the Future
Even though the streaming feature is fresh off the assembly line, Musk seemed quite pleased with the results. “It’s cool that it works at all,” he quipped. As he played, he addressed viewers’ questions and laid out the vision for X. “We’ll be adding streaming for Xbox and PS5,” he added, paving the way for a gaming experience that could one day make birthdays and bar mitzvahs seem dull by comparison.
The Generalist App Philosophy
Musk is aiming for X to become the Swiss Army knife of apps — a place where all your needs can be met, whether you’re looking for memes, news, financial transactions, or an epic boss battle. “I think the very specialized apps will still be better in some areas, but being a generalist app has its perks,” he proclaimed. Who needs to jump between apps when you can have everything in one convenient package? Talk about an app diet!
The Reception
Following the stream, the reaction has been nothing short of epic. In mere hours, Musk’s live gaming session amassed over 2.8 million viewers. The tweet promoting the event picked up a staggering 9.3 million views, proving that whether you love him or love to hate him, everyone is tuning in for the Musk show.
What’s Next for X?
As X furthers its evolution into the “everything app,” Musk has teased features that could also encompass payments and cryptocurrency, though he kept mum about specifics for now. Perhaps someday we’ll be tipping our favorite streamers with meme coins — a future we didn’t know we needed!
