Here Are Today’s ‘X Empire’ Elon Musk Game Daily Combo and Riddle

X Empire (previously Musk Empire) is one of the latest Telegram-based tap-to-earn games that’s catching steam ahead of a planned token airdrop to players. While the game largely builds upon the template of the popular Hamster Kombat, it does so with what’s proven to be a rather compelling hook: by making it all about Elon Musk.

You’ll tap a cartoonish version of Elon to earn in-game cash, spend that cash on Elon’s various attributes to upgrade your passive earning skills, and then use his apparent business smarts to wade into negotiations and stock market bets. That’s all without the official Elon Musk stamp of approval, of course—and while his likeness remains in the game, they’ve now removed his name from the original title.

In any case, it’s the Stock Exchange where you can make some serious gains in X Empire, wagering a share of your earned in-game cash to potentially yield sizable returns. Each day, X Empire lets you bet on three types of fictional stocks—and each day, the game makes three of the options into winning investments that will provide sizable returns.

It’s X Empire’s version of the “daily combo” seen in games like Hamster Kombat and PixelTap, and it’s an essential part of the game if you’re attempting to farm ahead of the airdrop on The Open Network (TON).

But there’s also a daily riddle that’ll net you some quick cash too. You might be able to solve it via the provided clues, but if you’re stumped—or you’d rather just look up the answer—then we’ve got you covered. Here are today’s daily combo and riddle solution in X Empire.
