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

January 10, 2017

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.

Although Jonathan Leack began covering the gaming industry in 2009, his earliest roots date back to 2004 when he wrote his first of many reviews to come. Equipped with a B.S. in Computer Information Systems and several information technology certifications, he provides a unique perspective that is technological and business conscious. Having acquired the role of Executive Editor in 2016, his mission is to make GameRevolution a gaming site that thoughtfully considers the consumer perspective, and has a knowledgeable presence of PC gaming, console, hardware, and eSports coverage.
