The world’s richest man claims he’s playing the game at the highest level. But that’s only true if you have no idea what’s going on.
Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk raises his hands as he takes the stage during a campaign rally for Republican presidential nominee, former U.S. President Donald Trump, at Madison Square Garden on October 27, 2024 in New York City.
, someone DMed him ASCII art of Mario taking a shit on the name “Elon.” The fact that the world’s richest man and a self-professed epic gamer didn’t know he should turn off DMs before starting a livestream was weird. But it was a stream full of weirdness that pointed in one direction: despite claiming he was a high-levelplayers on the planet. For Musk, it’s important not to just project the image of a gamer. No. He has to be the best gamer. But his achievements don’t make sense, and his Path of Exile 2 livestream gave evidence of a man who is making it up as he goes along and, possibly, getting someone else to level characters for him., it can take hundreds of hours to grind a character up to max level and get the best loot. Where the hell does Musk find the time? He’s the head of six companies and a close associate of incoming President Donald Trump. He posts on X, the social media site he owns,. He meets with world leaders, attempts to bend national and international politics to his will, and still somehow has time to play games likeUnless he is as full of shit as the ASCII Mario that took a dump on his name in his DMs. “I can say after watching an hour of this livestream that I would put, like, $100,000 or more on a bet…that Elon did not level this character from level 1 to level 90 himself.” YouTuber Cynicalex said,is that someone else is grinding an account that Musk takes over and claims is his. In that scenario, Musk isn’t actually putting the work in to grind these characters up, he’s just taking credit for someone else’s hard work.Cox has been on the Musk gaming beat for some time. Back in 2022, he broke down the poor mechanics of the billionaire’splayers were already very suspicious of Musk’s alleged world-leading success in the game,” Cox told Gizmodo. “He tweeted about aloophole in October that would make your character unfairly strong, and the sheer time investment needed raised good questions about how a man who runs multiple companies would even have the weeks upon weeks to play that much if he wasn’t getting help from boosters.”You can get massive amounts of obducite after Hordes by feeding the chest one ether at a time. Technically, this is not a bug, as the chest says that giving your remaining ether produces obducite, so it is behaving as advertised.playthrough is in hardcore mode. In that mode, if your character dies the game deletes it. One mistake could mean the end of days of work and there’s no way to come back from it. A player with a high-level character in hardcore mode should know what they’re doing. Yet Musk runs past high-level items that, based on his inventory, would be a massive boon. He attacks walls. He puzzles over pressing a switch that would open a passage to him. He’s got a specialized inventory tab labeled “Elon’s Maps,” suggesting that they’ve been reserved for him by someone else. He also doesn’t seem to understand how his character works and claims to be clearing a map at the hardest difficulty despite it being set to a low level. “Running past super valuable items? Not knowing what vital endgame mechanics are? Not the behavior of someone who has put in a lot of their own time into the game,” Cox said. “Calling a stash tab ‘Elon’s map’? Exceptionally odd for someone allegedly playing their own character.”critiquing Musk’s performance and they all came to the same conclusion: this is not a man who knows anything about high levelplay. “What I do know is that if you’re a level 90 player, you do not make these errors,” Cynicalex said in his. “Maybe you trick really braindead people who have no idea into thinking your high end in a game that they have no clue about,”. “What does that do? That does nothing. What’s the point in that? So you’re going to trick a bunch of boomers into thinking you’re good at games whenever boomers think the games are cringe as fuck anyway. It makes no sense. And it’s cringe.”at the highest level. “His constant emphasizing in the stream that what he is doing is very, very difficult while seemingly not understanding what he’s actually doing is incredibly on brand for the attention and love desperate Musk,” he said.The People Behind Project 2025 Want to Reveal the Identities of Wikipedia EditorsAs Elon Musk Promotes Far-Right German Party, EU Politicians Suggest Shutting Off X’s AlgorithmSpaceX’s Frequent Rocket Launches Are Terrorizing Towns in the Middle of the Night41% of Employers Worldwide Say They’ll Reduce Staff by 2030 Due to AI
