Gamers Accept Elon Is a Fraud

Tuesday, January 14, 2025

A few minutes into Elon Musk's livestream of his hardcore character in the video game Path of Exile 2, 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.

this is way funnier than I thought it would be. Elon, claiming to be a literal global top ten Path of Exile 2 player, does not know to drink a potion when he runs out of mana www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmEe ...

Elon has bragged about what a world-class gamer he is on Rogan, Lex Friedman, and during the livestream while he was getting busted.

Elon plays pay 2 play games.

All you gotta do is spend enough money and your character will be the best on the server.

He's reportedly the richest person in the world.

What's the brag? That he has money?

He was born to emerald mine tycoons.

I wrote more on the thread about Elon being Evil & a racist, I don't think he is...

Elon talks about space. I know nothing about space, so he must be a genius.
Elon talks about EVs. I know nothing about EVs, so he must be a genius.
Elon talks about software development. I know a LOT about software development. Elon's an id!0t.

@#3 ... I wrote more on the thread about Elon being Evil & a racist, I don't think he is... ...

Reading what your current alias wrote, it seemed to call him an "idiot owner."

drudge.com (scroll down to comment #3)

... I like his companies, I wish him well, lots of money and good people can over come an idiot owner. ...

So, your current alias seems to think Mr Musk is an idiot?

I suspect it is true that a bully on the playground is a bully as an adult, and certainly Musk is proving himself as one who is always looking for a little kid to beat up, or a social media outlet to buy up so he can turn it into a propaganda outlet for fascism.

The guy that convinced everybody they could save the planet by driving overweight luxury cars is a fraud at other things? Didn't see that coming.

Or convinced people we're gonna make it to Mars because they "caught" a rocket with a tower without meaningfully changing our actual space capabilities...

Trains in tubes, efficiency broken into far less efficient individual sections. Front page news here for awhile.

Physics 1 & 2 should be required for a Journalism degree.

Hughmass,

He's not a bully, I haven't seen that

He just made a lot of money, and having been around some rich people, their ---- doesn't stink.

Jpw,

You don't understand why the catching is so important.

It's ok

He's hired smart people, more than say ... LA county. He's just riding on their coattails, SpaceX is going to Mars.

He smeared a cave diving rescuer, on a rescue that killed a highly trained special forces diver, as a pedophile, for saying his tube submarine wouldn't work.

Leon is now being sued by the SEC because he didn't disclose his ownership of TWTR stock in the manner required. That suit will be dismissed in a week or so (shhh--very quietly) but the flaming bag of dog excrement in his hand that is "X" cannot be disposed of so easily. Who can put much faith in or respect for a guy who over-pays by $20B in his purchase of a company?

He and his brother support their father. And lets say just for a hypothetical that his family was rich and he gave Elon a million bucks, which he didn't but let's imagine he did, turning a million into 400 billion must have taken some type of skill.

Video games, eh? Let's see Leon conquer Web Sudoku Evil level. The games just keep coming. Better yet, make him play golf with the fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat. After about three holes they will be at each other's throats with accusations of cheating, theft of golf ball, running on the golf course and mauling the drink cart girl...

PoE2 is pay for convenience, not pay 2 win. Just to close off that avenue.

However, paying someone else to level you character is p2w - and should get you banned.

Him and President Elect Trump are suited, both cheat.

I don't know if PoE2 is open PVP, in that case I agree.

Otherwise, I don't care about some rich dude paying someone else to do the work. That's America.

It's Elon promoting and bragging about how he's some sort of world-class gamer. Like, in the top 10 in the world. He's a fraud.

You don't understand why the catching is so important.

By all means, explain. How was catching it improving lift capacity? Improving capsule design or capabilities? What did it do to actually advance space capabilities?

@#9 ... He's hired smart people ...

But, how does that balance your current alias' opinion that "he may be an idiot?"
