“Cultivating Virtual Musk” – Earning While Playing
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be the founder of Tesla and SpaceX? Recently, a Telegram game called “Earning While Playing” allows players to cultivate a virtual Elon Musk. By clicking and strategizing, players can increase their assets in the game and exchange them for airdropped tokens in the future.
Games of the “Earning While Playing” genre have become extremely popular. For example, the hamster game “Hamster Kombat” attracted over 200 million users to play within three months.
Currently, the virtual Musk cultivation game, “Musk Empire,” has over 3 million players, and the official Telegram channel has gained over 1 million subscribers.

Diverse Gameplay in Musk Empire
In the game, players can earn game money by clicking. However, they must rely on upgrading Musk’s skills or traits to increase their hourly passive income and accumulate money faster.
The skills and traits in Musk Empire are very user-friendly. For example, sleep, nutrition, exercise, and mental abilities can all be upgraded. There are also many detailed options for personal and social skills, including critical thinking, empathy, and charity.
These options are just the tip of the iceberg. There are various categories, such as offices, space, software, equipment, and entertainment, that can be upgraded to continuously increase the passive income per hour. Musk Empire’s game mechanism is quite user-friendly. For example, when the virtual Musk’s “sleep level” reaches level 2, it unlocks the ability to increase the level of empathy, in line with the real-life condition that sleep can affect one’s mental state.
In addition to upgrading skills, traits, and offices, Musk Empire also has a “Exchange” function, allowing players to make investments. The investment commodities are classified into low-risk, medium-risk, and high-risk categories. Low-risk investment commodities include oil, diamonds, limited edition watches, and fine wines, while game development, AI, and electric car factories are classified as medium-risk investment commodities.
Interestingly, space companies and blockchain projects are classified as high-risk investments in Musk Empire. Players may either double their earnings or lose all their assets, just like the real-world market situation.
Since players are cultivating a Musk who owns multiple companies, negotiation skills are crucial. Musk Empire even has a player vs. player (PK) mechanism, allowing players to negotiate specific amounts of business contracts with other users. The winner receives money. The conditions that affect the negotiation result include the player’s negotiation strategy (categorized into aggressive, flexible, and defensive) and the level of negotiation skills.
Could the “Friend Invitation” task hinder progress?
Although the gameplay in Musk Empire is diverse and ever-changing, the Decrypt, an overseas media outlet, discovered that players may encounter obstacles in the game that require them to invite a large number of friends to make progress. This issue also occurred among players of “Hamster Kombat,” prompting the developers of the hamster game to announce that they would reduce such requirements.
Therefore, if you don’t want to disturb your Telegram friends or contacts while playing the game, you may feel limited in the middle and later stages of Musk Empire due to the requirement of inviting friends.
Nevertheless, the key focus of this game is still the ability to “earn money.” The Musk Empire team has announced on their official Telegram channel that they will issue tokens and distribute airdrops on the TON blockchain.
The distribution of tokens will be determined by three evaluation indicators: “hourly passive income,” “total game money,” and “number of invited friends.”
Whether Musk Empire can continue to break records and attract billions of users like Hamster Kombat remains to be seen. It is a market trend worth continuous attention.
