Game On: A New Chapter for X

In an audacious move that has shocked no one, Elon Musk has taken to his platform X (yes, formerly known as Twitter) to test out video game streaming. Recently, he streamed himself playing Diablo 4 for a full 50 minutes, diving headfirst into the realm of gaming while his loyal followers tuned in.

The Streaming Experience

During the stream, Musk set the standard quite low for himself and his team, stating, “What we are aiming for here is that the audio sounds normal, the image looks reasonably good…” To everyone’s delight, the stream was a pixelated success—no lag, no flicker, and plenty of bashing demons. “It’s cool that it works at all,” he admitted, channeling every proud dad you’ve ever met.

Audience Engagement like Never Before

As the session wound down, viewers were invited into the conversation. Musk didn’t shy away from revealing X’s ambitious goals. From streaming on Xbox and PS5 to engaging users through a host of interactive features, he teased a promising future. However, when it came to mentioning payment options or crypto plans for future integrations, this mysterious billionaire left us in suspense. Welcome to the Musk experience.

The Stats Are In

What’s that noise? Oh, just the sound of millions tuning in. By the end of the stream, Musk garnered around 2.8 million viewers, while his promotional tweet soared to a staggering 9.3 million views and over 5,300 retweets. Clearly, the gaming community is eager to see where X goes next.

The Vision for X

Since rebranding Twitter as X, Musk’s vision clear: an “everything app” that transcends social media to include everything from expressions to financial services. As the features bloom, including a revenue share model and direct video postings, the quest for dominance in the digital space intensifies. Can it rival specialized apps? Well, we’ll see—but let’s be honest, the good ol’ gaming community is always ready for a wild ride, as long as they can stream smoothly!
