Diablo 4: Elon Musk breaks into top 20 of Pit 150 leaderboards

While not official, Elon Musk is in the top 20 Diablo 4 players for Pit 150. The Pit of Artificers, more commonly known as just “The Pit” is a place for players to grind through waves of enemies and a boss as fast as possible. Each level gets progressively more difficult, with 150 being the peak of the challenge. It’s a great place to pick up powerful gear, but Tier 150’s challenge in a way, is its own reward.

For the casual player, The Pit is simply a way to gear up and unlock higher difficulty levels. However, there are plenty of Diablo 4 players who want to push their builds as far as they can go, and for players like Elon Musk, that’s Pit 150 — and it appears he’s in the top 20 of those elite-level players.

Elon Musk’s Spiritborn is in the top 20 of Pit 150 players in Diablo 4

According to Helltides.com’s Pit of Artificers Leaderboard, Elon Musk sits at #20, with a Pit 150 time of 2 minutes, 45 seconds. That is an incredible time, and nobody can take that away. The owner of X uses a Quill Volley build and is one of the many Spiritborn players who can lay claim to a top 20 spot on this leaderboard.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind while discussing Elon Musk’s “top 20” claim in Diablo 4’s Pit 150. The most important thing is that this is not an official leaderboard. It’s not sanctioned by Blizzard Entertainment and isn’t in the actual MMO. It is arguably the most legitimate leaderboard, but it doesn’t really track everyone.

Helltides' leaderboard only tracks the Pit of Artificer runs that get recorded and uploaded — so there’s no telling what kind of players have smashed that 2:45 time to pieces, and simply haven’t uploaded them. We have no way of knowing that.

The Quill Volley build is also one of the most powerful builds in the game right now and could be on the chopping block when the next dev stream kicks off on November 12, 2024. It’s a build so powerful that every other loadout in the game feels useless in comparison.

To give you an idea, there isn’t a single non-Spiritborn in the top 20 — not even in the top 100. Everyone’s playing some variation of the Spiritborn. That doesn’t mean the other classes are bad — but perhaps more that Spiritborn is just too strong right now.

No matter how you feel about Elon Musk as a person or businessman, it cannot be denied that he is in the top 20 Diablo 4 players for the Pit of Artificers — at least, according to third-party websites.
