Elon Musk has never been shy in sharing his thoughts through social media, and fans can now tune into hours of his musings through his gaming livestreams.
A known avid gamer, the Tesla CEO has recently been streaming live on X, formerly Twitter, the social media company he owns. The livestreams are under his gamer-focused handle @cyb3rgam3r420 (yes, it references 420 — a favorite number of Musk's), not his usual @elonmusk handle.
But as one of Musk's recent livestreams demonstrates, they offer Tesla fans and those interested in his various other companies, like SpaceX or Neuralink, another channel to hear the billionaire riff on his plans.
The sessions last several hours (his latest stream was over five hours long), and while Musk was partly focused on playing a video game — in this case, "Diablo IV" — he also responded to people in the livestream chat.
Gaming aside, it's classic Musk. He talks in a stream-of-consciousness fashion about Tesla, SpaceX, X, Neuralink, and the future, sometimes touching on some of his go-to points, such as his concerns about human population levels and encouraging his friends to have more children.
In his latest stream, for example, he talked about:
In some ways, his game sessions feel like an extended edition of his speeches during a Tesla earnings call or while onstage at a company event or panel interview. But it's rare to see a CEO stream and talk for hours about such a range of topics, free from PR handlers, and for people following Musk, they might just hear something new between dungeon fights and quests.
This is not the first alternative account Musk has been found using. He appeared to have an X account where he would tweet as his now-four-year-old son X Æ A-12.
