In a surprising revelation from Walter Isaacson's upcoming biography, tech mogul Elon Musk was found engrossed in a video game marathon after making a pivotal decision regarding Twitter, the social media platform that has since been rebranded as X.

What Happened: According to insight shared by musician Grimes, Musk's former partner, the Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO was engrossed in the challenging video game "Elden Ring" until 5:30 a.m.

The incident reportedly occurred in April 2022 during a visit to Vancouver, where Musk had planned to introduce their son, X Æ A-Xii, to Grimes' family. Yet, due to Musk's heightened state of stress, Grimes chose to leave him at their accommodation, The Wall Street Journal reported.

After communicating his intention to acquire Twitter to the company's board chairman, Musk purportedly delved deep into "Elden Ring."

The game, celebrated for its depth and complexity, boasts contributions from "Game of Thrones" author George R. R. Martin. Musk's in-game journey reportedly took him to Caelid, a barren virtual wasteland with a striking red skyline in the game.

Soon after concluding his game, Musk tweeted that April, "I made an offer." Later, in May of that year, he shared a glimpse of his "Elden Ring" character, which, at the time, was at level 121.

Even with the responsibilities of leading multiple companies that include Neuralink, Musk's fervor for gaming has remained unchanged, according to Isaacson. The author wrote that Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis likened Musk's demeanor to a video game enthusiast who, after achieving a milestone, finds it hard to switch off a game.
