On December 9, 2022, Twitter CEO Elon Musk took to the social media platform to congratulate Elden Ring for winning the Game of the Year award at The Game Awards 2022.

What Elon Musk has said about playing Elden Ring and his experience
Elon Musk confirmed that he played Elden Ring when he shared his character's build on Twitter on May 11, 2022. He revealed that he played the game as a mage and assigned skills to the Intelligence and Dexterity stats.
Musk added that he carried a shield in his left hand, along with a staff and a rapier in his right hand. His tweet read:
"Int/Dex build, so mostly mage with some weapon skills. Shield in left hand, staff in right with rapier & claws fast switch. Change armor from heavy to medium for fast roll or tank. Move talismans around a lot. Many small hits in a row to damage stack is important. Summon!"
A few days later, on May 23, 2022, Musk stated that FromSoftware's open-world title was the "most beautiful" art he had ever seen:
"Elden Ring, experienced in its entirety, is the most beautiful art I have ever seen."
The opinion gained a lot of traction, with several community members asking him how he finished the game.
The 51-year-old revealed his build once more, this time choosing a power mage build with a "decent sword/katana":
The following day, Musk shared an in-game screenshot showcasing his character being at Rune Level 111. He wielded Lusat's Glintstone Staff +8 as his primary magical weapon and the Moonveil Katana for physical damage.
Musk allotted maximum points to the Intelligence stat. He fat-rolled in the game since he maxed out the equipment load (67.2/68.8).
The billionaire also wore General Radahn's armor along with the Twinsage Glinstone Crown to boost his intelligence stat:
