After taking the reins of Twitter in October 2022, Musk has been at the forefront of numerous innovative changes. One of the most notable shifts was the rebranding of Twitter to “X”. Recently, Musk has been actively testing the platform’s broadcasting capabilities, often going live unexpectedly.
Musk’s passion for gaming is no secret. His recent venture involved the unveiling of a gaming stream feature. This allowed him to broadcast his Diablo 4 gameplay to a staggering audience, with the stream garnering over 2.8 million views. Before this groundbreaking stream, Musk teased his followers with a tweet, hinting at testing the “X video game streamer system”.
This new gaming streaming feature isn’t just a one-off event. It’s now available to premium users, offering them the chance to broadcast their gameplay. During Musk’s stream, viewers had the unique opportunity to watch him play Diablo 4, complete with a face cam, for almost an hour.
Fans were quick to point out a few issues, including the absence of a live chat function and some technical glitches. Elon Musk acknowledged these issues with his characteristic humor, hinting at improvements in the future.
Musk’s livestream achievement, with its millions of views, is undeniably impressive. However, it’s essential to note the platform’s metric for counting views. Twitter/X considers a video viewed if it’s watched for at least 2 seconds at 50% view.
