Musk is especially addicted to playing games, and once he starts, he gets extremely serious about it.
One of the biggest fights he ever had with his ex-girlfriend Grimes was because of a game.
They had agreed to team up in the game Low-Mo War, but Grimes suddenly ambushed him with a fireball. Musk felt betrayed and was so mad that he didn’t speak to her for the whole day 🤣
Later, he got even more hooked and even dreamed about playing. In a fit of determination, he uninstalled the game, but he just couldn’t resist. A few months later, he installed it again.
He really does have some skill at gaming too. When he was young, he led the Zip2 team to compete in the national Quake tournament, where they won second place and prize money.
In the early years after SpaceX was founded, more than twenty engineers would often work late into the night and then play Quake together until 3 a.m. Musk’s in-game name was Random9, and he usually won. His coworkers all said he had incredibly fast reflexes and was very good at all kinds of ambushes and sneak attacks.
Musk’s main pastime is gaming, and he specifically likes to play difficult games, because only games that are hard enough to require total focus can push work and other thoughts out of his mind and let his brain be quiet for a while 🤣
