— Very AFK (@Cromwelp) February 21, 2026 Lest you think this episode was a one-off, Musk was also apparently obsessed with teaching Grok how to play League of Legends. Some former xAI employees reportedly compare how the company is run to a never-ending fire drill. There are multiple “war rooms” running at the Palo Alto headquarters to tackle urgent issues, including getting Grok to Challenger rank in Riot Games’ popular MOBA. “At the end of 2025, at least five war rooms were running simultaneously, according to three people,” writes Business Insider. “One, they said, was dedicated to teaching Grok how to play one of Musk’s favorite video games, ‘League of Legends.'” That definitely sounds like the unparalleled, no-drugs grindset of someone worth a trillion dollars. It’s worth noting that all of this was happening the year following Musk exposing himself as a massive cheater in games like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2. Baldur’s Gate 3‘s own publishing head was busy calling out Musk’s promises of AI-generated video games for missing the point. 🕹️ Level up your inbox Don’t miss the latest reviews, news and tips.
