Elon Musk recently set a world record with a speed run in Diablo 4. While some pay tribute to the tech billionaire, others accuse him of creatively exploiting bugs.

i doubt he plays videogames, just PR nonsense

Critics also suspect that Musk may have exploited existing bugs. A known exploit disproportionately converts high health points into damage, which enables enormous damage values.

Isn't that what speedrunning is? The whole point of speedrunning is to exploit bugs to maximize time...

That's one run on one Website. Not all players record every run and look at the number of members on that site. It is a very small percentage of the actual number D4 players globally. Yes the run is impressive but not the best and far from it.

Show me one Zelda speed run that doesn't "creatively use bugs."  Heck, nearly all speed run categories use bugs to shave seconds off the clock.

i don't know why this is news worthy. In Diablo, the best gear can be purchased, as can gold and other items that make it possible to tweak the equipment to make it better. To say the richest man in the world managed to win at the game is not shocking at all. When it does it in chess or something where pay to win isn't possible, I will be impressed.
