X Empire, previously called Musk Empire, has become the latest Telegram tap-to-earn game to gain attraction.
The game distinguishes itself from the plethora of tap-to-earn games like Hamster Kombat and Catizen by featuring a cartoonish image of Elon Musk that players tap to accumulate in-game currency.
The game’s appeal is evident from its massive player base, reaching around 16 million since its launch on July 4.
Similar to other tap-to-earn games, a significant draw for X Empire players is the promise of a future crypto token airdrop, offering a chance to earn digital currency after prolonged gameplay.
X Empire, a tap-to-earn game on Telegram, closely mirrors the mechanics of the popular Hamster Kombat.
Players tap on an image to earn in-game currency, which can then be used to generate passive income when they are not actively playing.
It is worth noting that there is no evidence to suggest Elon Musk’s involvement or endorsement of the game, which raises the possibility of the game being shut down if Musk’s legal team takes notice.
The transition from “Musk Empire” to “X Empire” indicates the developers are aware of this risk and are taking steps to mitigate it.
Despite this, millions have flocked to the game on Telegram, hoping to eventually secure tokens on The Open Network (TON)—the same network hosting Notcoin’s NOT token and other games like Hamster Kombat and Yescoin.
Meanwhile, Playing X Empire is straightforward.

However, the core gameplay remains unchanged.
Players’ avatars appear on the main screen, surrounded by icons indicating different play modes.
