Originally launched as Musk Empire in July, X Empire took the tap-to-earn premise of games like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin and let you upgrade and customize a cartoonish version of Elon Musk, letting you spend your in-game cash to boost his attributes and businesses.

The launch had been slightly delayed, as X Empire ended its “mining phase” on September 30 ahead of the apparently imminent drop. But two days later, the developers said that they had faced unexpected delays, and would launch a brief “chill phase” seaso...
Since rebranding to X Empire, the game has added more features and expanded beyond the original Musk theme, adding avatars based on other crypto figures like Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin and Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.
X Empire will hand out 75% of its 690 billion token supply to players, with the remaining chunk of tokens saved for future rewards and incentives.
