Since its release, Elden Ring has been the center of attention, attracting not just regular gamers and streamers but also some big-name fans. One of the most famous fans is Elon Musk. Not only has he called the game “unbelievable,” but he often shares posts showing his excitement. He’s even made some funny comments offering feedback to the game’s developers.
In a recent interview, when asked about his favorite Elden Ring character, Elon Musk openly admitted he likes a powerful sorcerer who’s also skilled with a sword. He got so excited that he shared his character build on Twitter. But this is where things got confusing for many Elden Ring fans.
Although he wants to play as a sorcerer, which is clear from how he distributes his skill points, he equips heavy armor and even carries two swords. This basically means Musk won’t be able to cast spells easily and will have to constantly switch between magic and melee. Experts say the gear he’s wearing is way too heavy and unnecessary, totally different from what pro players usually use. Plus, the talisman he chose gives a 15% damage boost that’s better suited for physical fighters, not a sorcerer like Musk’s build.
It seems Musk’s main problem is being too “greedy,” wanting to be a sorcerer but also wearing heavy armor and a shield, and wanting to master both magic and sword fighting. Following this, Kotaku published a lengthy article criticizing Musk’s questionable gear choices. It’s unclear if Musk has seen the article yet, but many fans are already jokingly encouraging him to buy Kotaku just like he did with Twitter.
