Musk Empire: Sizzling Take

2024 is changing into the 12 months of the clicker sport, how thrilling…

We noticed the success of the viral hit Notcoin, which rapidly drew in tens of millions of customers simply by clicking on a Goldcoin, all whereas dreaming that sometime a cryptocurrency would repay these hours and sore thumbs. 

5 months after the sport launched, Notcoin was listed.

Now, we’re seeing comparable hype with Musk Empire, a sport that’s primarily about nothing aside from a big picture of Elon Musk’s head that you just click on repeatedly.

Musk Empire was launched in June and already has 10 million downloads. 

Similar to with Notcoin, pleasure is increase, regardless that there’s just some hypothesis a couple of “potential” cryptocurrency popping out of it sooner or later.

If it follows the identical timeline as Notcoin, we would not see one till November.

I’m unsure what the psychological impact of those clicker video games is, possibly it’s the joy of getting in early and the potential to make some money, however it’s a variety of time simply clicking your thumbs.

In Musk Empire, you may degree up your Elon Musk character with varied upgrades, however regardless of all my clicking and spending on upgrades, I haven’t observed any distinction in any respect.

I’ve spent 1000’s of cash on my Elon, and he seems the identical to me.

For instance, the game improve says “degree up your physique to face up to pitch marathons and hackathons,” I’ve clicked a number of on these, however I’ve but to see any change to his physique on the app.

Different rewards embrace Vitamin, Sleep, Self-discipline (don’t know the way properly Musk goes to take that), and Mind, which is a reasonably costly improve in comparison with the remainder and says “increase neural networks, not solely in code however in your mind.”

Except for all the press (which most likely places you in danger for arthritis) and upgrades, there’s additionally an funding part known as the “Metropolis.”

Right here, you may put your cash into completely different areas to earn passive earnings. For instance, for those who make investments 4,600 cash, you may revenue as much as 100 cash per hour.

Among the funding choices are fairly bizarre — hamster breeding, meme t-shirts, automotive leases in Dubai— the industries are far and large. 

Similar to the opposite clicker video games on the market, I wouldn’t say Musk Empire is essentially the most thrilling sport by a protracted shot, however the recognition is fairly contagious. 

I’m clicking away realizing that tens of millions of others are doing the identical factor — So possibly group spirit trumps enjoyable on the subject of gaming?
