I like to think we've all taken time off work or rearranged our schedules to make room for video games at one point or another, and Elon Musk is reportedly no exception. The multi-multi-multi-billionaire apparently became so engrossed in Baldur's Gate 3, he parlayed a rollout for Grok because its Dungeons and Dragons knowledge left something to be desired. In a report from Business Insider, it's stated Musk literally moved staff around to make sure Grok's responses on Larian's RPG were of better quality. "In one instance last year, a model release was delayed for several days because Musk was dissatisfied with how the chatbot answered detailed questions about the video game Baldur’s Gate, according to people familiar with the matter," the piece states. "High-level engineers were pulled from other projects to improve the responses before launch, they said," the outlet adds. The SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI founder is a noted fan of role-playing games, having gotten very into Elden Ring as well as the third Baldur's Gate; however, as far as I'm aware, FromSoftware can't boast of contributing to him altering his company's structure in any way. Baldur's Gate 3 had so "many people involved," with one dev being "a big JRPG fan" but the CEO being "an Ultima guy" Larian's publishing boss threatens to "crash out" over Baldur's Gate show: "I don't think anyone can trump our writers" After Baldur's Gate 3 player painstakingly calculates how much spoken dialogue Larian included in its D&D RPG, director admits they didn't actually know themselves: "Which I think was for the better" Can I have just one normal week pic.twitter.com/bip2afWQLeFebruary 21, 2026 Can I have just one normal week pic.twitter.com/bip2afWQLeFebruary 21, 2026 Can I have just one normal week pic.twitter.com/bip2afWQLeFebruary 21, 2026 There's no feedback on whether Grok suddenly became a worthy authority on Larian's blockbuster release, probably because many players don't care to use chatbots for things they can figure out themselves or ask each other about. Given some of the enormous ethical issues surrounding the Twitter-integrated software - and AI chatbots as a whole - I don't think it's a popular tool for navigating the Forgotten Realms. Baldur's Gate 3 isn't the only game that became part of xAI's day-to-day either. Business Insider states Musk also tried to make Grok get good at a certain MOBA from Riot Games. "At the end of 2025, at least five war rooms were running simultaneously, according to three people. One, they said, was dedicated to teaching Grok how to play one of Musk’s favorite video games, League of Legends," says the piece. Larian's director of publishing, Michael Douse, responded to these claims appropriately. "Can I have just one normal week," he says on Twitter. It's looking doubtful on that one, I'm afraid. I wonder if employees under Musk are already dreading when the new Divinity arrives. Baldur's Gate 3 marketing lead hands Sony some advice after its live-service fails, saying "pretty much every game" is effectively multiplayer now: "Every experience is a shared experience"
