Watch: Elon Musk Talks About Overwatch, Hearthstone and Deus Ex

By Jonathan Leack

By day Elon Musk revolutionizes the rocket, electric car, and renewable energy industries. By night, he plays video games.

Recognized as R&D Magazine's Innovator of the Year among more than three dozen other awards, Elon Musk isn't the sort of business magnate that you'd think would find time to kick back and play Blizzard games, but that's exactly what he does. Or at least on occasion.

Speaking to Y Combinator at the end of an interview (seen above), he was asked about his interest in video games. Overwatch was quick to come up, as it's his primary game right now. Hearthstone was mentioned soon after. Apparently Musk enjoys Blizzard games, and so do his kids.

And Deus Ex: Mankind Divided? Well, he's certainly a fan of the franchise, but the storytelling of the latest game didn't leave a positive impression.
