Nick Mosier based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20220526-204041\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original Japanese article<\/a> (original article&#8217;s publication date: 2022-05-26 14:24<\/em> <em>JST)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>Elon Musk took to Twitter to unveil his <strong><em>Elden Ring<\/em> build<\/strong> to the public, but users on Twitter were swift and merciless in their criticism of said build.<\/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. Lately, the billionaire can often be seen tweeting about FromSoftware\u2019s latest action RPG <em>Elden Ring<\/em>. After tweeting a brief explanation of his build in early May, <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/elon-musk-elden-ring-mage-worst-magic-build-twitter-bil-1848912000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kotaku<\/a> even took to in-game verbiage to criticize it, calling Musk \u201cMaidenless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other day, Musk made a tweet suggesting he had cleared the game. He also responded to a question in the replies saying, \u201cWill post pic of my build tomorrow,\u201d and followed up with pictures of his build on May 24.<br><\/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\">Equipped load will be lower if fast roll is needed <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OTSqKrrIv4\">pic.twitter.com\/OTSqKrrIv4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1528955104463814656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 24, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>Musk had previously described his build as \u201cPower mage, but decent with a sword\/katana.\u201d When looking at the images he\u2019s now posted, we can see he has 68 points in Intelligence and a moderate 25 points in Dexterity. He also has 31 points in Vigor, securing decently high HP. And his Mind stat, possibly set this way to be able to accept all the FP from a single flask, sits at 38 points. While there may be room for optimization, the stat distribution does seem to line up with his early description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for weapons, he appears to use Lusat\u2019s Glinstone Staff to cast magic, and Rogier\u2019s Rapier, along with the popular Moonveil, for close combat. One thing that stands out is that Musk has two shields equipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter users that saw Musk\u2019s dual shielding \u201cElon Build\u201d were quick to lay on the insults. There were simple insults from \u201cwhy do you have two shields you dummy,\u201d to \u201cGarbage build.\u201d With others going as far as to question his business acumen and saying, \u201cif you\u2019re holding Tesla stock, sell now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this writing, Musk\u2019s build has been retweeted roughly 1,100 times and quote tweeted over 3,800 times, with most of them insulting the build. But is the build itself really that bad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certainly a number of points for concern. First is that his equipment load is right at the limit. Getting this down would likely make dodging easier. It\u2019s also odd that he has two comparable shields equipped with no Ashes of War. Some are also calling out the talisman that raises HP due to its questionable effectiveness and the fact that he has no healing flasks equipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Musk does say that he lowers the equipment load when he needs to fast roll. Plus, the gear one has equipped isn\u2019t necessarily set in stone while playing. He may have lined up those two shields to show off two in particular that he likes or possibly to compare them while playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also not unheard of to not have flasks in his equipped items as he may have shortcuts set up for them. Musk did say that he would be showing his personal build, not necessarily a strong one. Whether you\u2019re the richest guy in the world or an average joe, it\u2019s kind of a bummer to see someone take so much heat just for showing how they like to play a game.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220526-204041-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Something else to keep in mind is that Musk is an easy figure to criticize for his political statements. The fact that he\u2019s extremely rich and in the spotlight also comes with a certain amount of hate. Combine that with the sexual harassment accusations and some of the hate for the \u201cElon Build\u201d may actually be targeted more at Musk himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, it\u2019s probably more productive to target that anger toward statements and actions that they feel are problematic, and let people play games as they choose.<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignwide is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-shadow\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/tag\/elden-ring\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#ed2157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More Elden Ring related articles<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk took to Twitter to unveil his Elden Ring build to the public, but users on Twitter were swift and merciless in their criticism of said build.
