Nick Mosier based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20220523-203683\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original Japanese article<\/a> (original article&#8217;s publication date: 2022-05-23 18:08 JST)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>It sounds like Elon Musk has completed <em>Elden Ring<\/em> after tweeting high praise for the game on May 22 saying, <strong>\u201c<em>Elden Ring<\/em>, experienced in its entirety, is the most beautiful art I have ever seen.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elon Musk is the CEO of the American automotive company Tesla and known for being the richest person on the planet and a frequent Twitter user. His statements and actions often make the news, including his concerns about spam accounts on Twitter that he brought up after agreeing to buy the company for $44 billion. When Twitter\u2019s CEO tweeted a thread thoroughly explaining spam and what Twitter does to combat it, Musk replied with a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1526246899606601730\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poop emoji<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk is also known as a gamer and has recently been tweeting more and more about FromSoftware\u2019s latest action RPG <em>Elden Ring<\/em>. In March, he tweeted that <em>Elden Ring<\/em> was a game he liked and later gave a rundown of his character build on May 9. <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/elon-musk-elden-ring-mage-worst-magic-build-twitter-bil-1848912000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kotaku<\/a>, who has been critical of the billionaire, even extended their criticism to his build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Int\/Dex build, so mostly mage with some weapon skills.

Musk does appear to have taken his build to the finish line, though. However, compared to his earlier tweet, his choice of close-range weapons has changed from a rapier and claws to a sword or katana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking further back at Musk\u2019s tweets, we can see where he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1508619100452376579\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explains<\/a> that he plays with a mouse and keyboard.
