You have to understand, with the gear that he has, we're not talking about just one player piloting his account. This is a team of people. At least two people are playing the actual character and leveling around the clock. And other people are also farming materials and crafting the gear and they're funneling the gear into one character. That's how good this gear is.
And RMT is very likely involved. He already admitted he does RMT. His "new" character was playing when he was appearing live on TV, go figure. It's not like people are mad at him for cheating, they're mad because he's taking credit of achievements of others, lol.
@@miukku111 Wait you're telling me Elon Musk, "founder of Tesla and Paypal", is actually taking credit for the achievements of other people ? That's so baffling. Literally baffled rn.
@@miukku111 But you can't just RMT this gear. It doesn't exist. You can RMT the currency, but someone on his team had to spend a ton of time rerolling and crafting this gear. I'm sure he's completely oblivious to this, and he just paid a flat fee to some Chinese company, but I'm guessing there's at least three or four people dedicated to this account.
I wouldn't be surprised if Elon Musk couldn't understand what Asmon meant by "editors" because he can't comprehend the fact of employees being treated as equals. "You... discuss things with your slaves before making decisions? How uncouth."
no its because hes so fucking old and out of touch he genuinely thought asmon had like journalism editors, who you're creating content for or under, not with.
@@moonantiusbankin Feels like you don't actually know anything about Elon Musk. His companies have been sued for mistreating their workers. He's quoted as saying he wants workers willing to put in 16 hours days. There's a reason he defended H-1B so much. He wants work slaves. If this was a few hundred years ago he'd 100% be a slave owner.

@JCurry1123 reading what? the title about elon musk having a bad week? because yeah, we read it. most people correlated that title to the image and therefore assumed he'd be talking about the inauguration and/or the other topics as well but he didn't. despite the fact that asmongold is also mentioned in the thumbnail, most people take a nazi salute as something more worthy to talk about than gaming controversy. so, everyone can read, and it's not wrong to assume that if an image of a current event is posted then that will be talked about.
Seriously. I watched the live stream about the Asmon/Elon drama but sat through this video waiting for him to talk about the inauguration cause I figured he talked about it on a later stream and it was cut into this video. Kinda annoying to sit through the whole thing and have the major thing in the thumbnail not addressed.
@jihmb note for you: this isn’t a political problem! being anti nazi does not favor either side of the political spectrum it only makes you a normal person
It's so funny that people don't wanna recognize Elon doing the N4z1 salute, after he has literally talked with the german N4z1 party AFD (Alternative für Deutschland/ Alternative for Germany Party). How can the US and Germany both have a right wing rekindling and even try to cooperate now?
Because for the first time in recent history we're (US and the west more broadly) worse off than our parents and Obama didn't change anything really so people flipped and went for Trump even if he's the symbol of the type of guy who's to blame for this, but at least he's different, RICH AND FAMOUS which must mean he's a good guy and good at what he does. Neoliberal economics is why Russia is the way it is and now it's coming for the rest of us. Post-war pre-Reagan America had the whole red scare anti-communist thing turned up to a billion and sucked for many in many ways but at least there was some semblance of understanding that shareholders aren't gods. JD Vance/Peter Thiel/Curtis Yarvin are much scarier IMO. I just hope they won't get to change the constitution or start waving nukes around.

the "maybe let's just listen to both freakin sides" bit is fun and all but in real life kinda ignores all the hateful rhetoric from one side towards anyone that's not a straight, white, right wing, christian man.

@@AstinCrowI'm pretty sure one side of the isle is committing hateful crimes on a larger scale than the other, you know, with guns and race and gender speak 'n all. That's just a stupid take.
I guess it's worth pointing out to people who only follow video games (and thus only found out through this that Musk has a tendency to lie) that he's been caught lying multiple times, about topics as diverse as the hyperloop transportation system, the optimus prime robots, his visa status, his status as "founder" of PayPal and Tesla, various Twitter policies, ...
You can't 'both sides' when one side wants to deny whole people groups the right to exist. We are beyond the parties representing differing views on how to accomplish policy. Does that mean I agree with everything the other side says and does? Heck no. But when the alternative is trying to take the world back to 1930's Germany...
Thumbnail is distasteful if you’re not going to talk about the situation. There’s very clearly a right side in regards to that too which you probably wouldn’t have gotten cancelled for, but you content creators turn out spineless most of the time. I’m praying you address this Ludwig. We need people to start speaking out and combating the support of this terrible behavior.
Both him a Critical just pretending like nothing happened is crazy. Especially with Critical considering he'd make a video about a guy farting in a mcdonalds but wont touch this because he is afraid of loosing precious ad rev
@ exactly. And the thing is no one is even wanting them to be political, because this isn’t about politics. Elon isn’t a politician and that symbol he did is just objectively and morally wrong. Make a video making fun of him like you usually do it’s literally not even off brand for your content.
@@robhans5 you’re dense. Like I said, I’m not asking anyone to be political. A right wing, centrist, and a leftist can basically all agree in 2025 that that gesture musk did is absolutely unacceptable. We might have certain beliefs that differ but it’s universally accepted that everyone deserves basic human rights and that gesture literally represents the opposite of that. No one is asking to make him a “left wing message” and you literally sound dumb even saying that. I don’t even know how you’re arguing right now it’s people like you that disgust me because not even a single strand of dna in my body would let me get anywhere near defending this situation
Ya know, ideologically I really agree with you saying that homie has a bad mindset around the attitude of the right. However, after trying to have a conversation about fascism with my mother I can say that we are well and truly cooked. These people cannot separate themselves from the structure of the world fed to them by the big news channel.
Yeah so no biggie but he also did a Naz* salute at a presidential inauguration and attended a German far-right event shortly after saying German people shouldn't feel guilty and must be proud to be German so there's that too.
This is like being the richest person on the planet, and being so insecure with himself, that he pays another person to get him Challenger in League of Legends so he can que up and play norms and pretend he's not only the richest person on the planet, but could win Worlds if he "really had the time". It is embarrassing, not because it's a video game, but because he cares so much, he has exposed himself as being that terribly insecure, that being "just ok" isn't good enough. I'm hardstuck Gold. I probably always will be. I got no money. I'm in the inverse to Elon, and I'm far more secure about it.
22:36 this response just seems very tactless. This isn't a video game where LP is on the line. People are getting separated from their families, people are being oppressed and attacked for their identity, and to top it all off none of the things these people say they voted for is happening. Prices for gas isn't going down, groceries, everything is going to go up. They aren't making a "bad play" in a video game, they are actively destroying peoples lives, AND their own lives as well. All the while they are the ones attacking, they are the ones calling the left vermin, they are the ones flaming the left in chat. It's equally as narrow-minded, IF NOT MORE SO, to have this sort of fake nuanced stance. It's not nuanced to say "guys don't be mean to them, they might be attacking you, shitting everywhere, and calling you the spawn of Satan but if you're mean back they will never listen to you and you'll never win!". Also what a terrible thumbnail, I know the stream probably happened before he even did the salute, but at the very least don't use it as clickbait. Literally anything else would have been better but it just makes you look like a tool. I love your content but this just irks me all the wrong ways, especially from you who has had consistently well thought out takes on things, maybe that only applies to streaming and games, not politics.
I was gonna make a similar comment about Ludwig's shitass Enlightened Centrist take but you worded it far better. You don't become a Trump supporter if you possess critical thought, and you especially don't fall for his propaganda and vote for him if you possess critical thinking skills. The American Far Right lacks critical thinking and empathy and, well, intelligence really, and it's obvious those must be true given how much they just won the elections despite running on platforms of "Not See" promises and lack of any platforms.
Thank you Ludwig for covering all of the biggest drama around Elon Musk that happened lately. That shadow banning Asmongold and taking away his checkmark was craaaaazy, nothing can ever come close 💀💀
I love how elon tried to shut down asmon with the whole "your not your own man" thing using the argument that if you work for someone your somehow inferior, which not only pisses off like 90 percent of the working Americans (including his own employees I assume) who read that tweet or are gonn hear about, but it didn't even make sense because asmon is a youtuber and is therefore self employed, which by the way is common knowledge to most people and certainly should be common knowledge of your a "tech genuis" like Elon. So not only did he lose the moral high ground, but he also looked incredibly stupid in front of his tech bro fan base. My favorite part is when he misunderstood Asmons response to his DM when he says he has editors who work for him, and Elon took that as the editors run the channel not Asmon, then preceeded to post the DMs, therefore self reporting how out of touch he is. Elon is catching nothing but L's and its hilarious 😂
Ludwig laments that he doesn't know POE2 enough to hatewatch Elon. The thing is, he could jump into the game and play for about 30 to 60 minutes to already realize how shit Elon actually is. Full inventory, trying to pick up items when full, and most importantly dragging items from ground to inventory.
18:20 I've been thinking about this since like the first time I heard the saying. If you literally just flipped the order to "eat your cake and have it too" it would suddenly make a billion times more sense, because by order of operations, once you've eaten the cake, you no longer have it (and wouldn't you know it, apparently this variant used to be more common until like a hundred years ago)
30:11 That point is called self-centeredness. It benefits them more to double down instead of backpedal. Its why all of Luds examples gave into nazism.
He went from probably some of the best PR and reputation among billionaires- at least in the online communities he so desperately wants attention and respect from- to some of the worst in barely five years. This needs to be studied.
@ right, so why didn't he say anything? Why put politics aside in this very political time? Why put politics aside when our very lives are political? Why put politics aside for the sake of a palatable video, when our country is burning? Why be a coward?
@@finetimegames3789 He's a pretty open moronic coward, at this point. His opinions align with the left but everything he says about politics is empty and pathetic. His League metaphor was idiotic pandering. Ludwig believed Trump when he said P25 was "too extreme" and hasn't addressed the fact that P25 is literally word for word what Trump's first week has been implementing. Leftists aren't immune to being imbeciles. Ludwig is an imbecile.
@@mattwalewangkodog it ain’t that deep. some people just don’t enjoy talking about politics. he’s not a political steamer and his fan base don’t watch him for in-depth breakdowns of these issues. while i absolutely agree it’s imperative to discuss things like that, it’s just as important to have a medium where people can enjoy themselves, politics aside.
@@CainValkrie sure, I understand But Elon Musk is a divisive political figure, you can't say his name and be on the fence. That's cowardly. You should feel pressured to say something political if you bring up politics. Especially when you bring up an important topic, such as the pseudo-president Musk.
Did u just use Elon doing a hitler salute as click bait and then not address the political state of the US at all in your video? I’ve been a ludbud for so long, one of your female viewers, and this is just… disappointing.
the "four things" bit is like someone claiming challenger in league but they dont know what objectives are like calling baron a thing... it just wouldnt happen if you put that much time in the game. im challenger but what are those things running down each lane. like crucial game mechanics in general.
30:02 I want everyone to know that he wanted to make rockets black, you can’t do that they will in fact explode. You are putting something that absorbs light into the space where the light is coming from, that is a bad fucking idea.
32:20 It's called tribalism, a cognitive bias it dehumanizes other groups and humanizes our in conjunction with the negativity bias we don't listen to criticism to our beliefs but exaggerate positivity. it's not just "the elon fan boys" It's everyone.
ive seen people say this a couple times, but it really is so insane how out of touch elon is with internet culture despite craving validation and inclusion from it so badly. you would think he would at least hire some gen z interns to explain things to him so he doesn't look so clueless, but no
explanation of "have your cake and eat it too": the phrase is backwards. You want to eat your cake and have it too. So you want to have the delight of eating your cake, but also have the delight of having this perfect unblemished cake.

Upload at 5 am is crazy, exactly what I’d expect from the top 0.01% of all humanity.
it’s a reupload, probably got striked
He said .001% you plebian. You obviously aren't a top-tier streamer if you can't even remember that.
I guess it's worth pointing out to people who only follow video games (and thus only found out through this that Musk has a tendency to lie) that he's been caught lying multiple times, about topics as diverse as the hyperloop transportation system, the optimus prime robots, his visa status, his status as "founder" of PayPal and Tesla, various Twitter policies, ...
Wait when did he lie about Optimus prime
@@LostStarzOfTheSky At the demo a couple months ago, when he said they were controlled by AI when they were in fact remote controlled by humans.
the 'explain it i wanna laugh too' was funny
Watched the whole video given that the nazi salute was in the thumbnail and I wanted your take, and that's not even in the video :(
22:10 Charlie staring at us in the corner
Lmao I’m so glad someone else has already made this comment
You can't 'both sides' when one side wants to deny whole people groups the right to exist. We are beyond the parties representing differing views on how to accomplish policy.
Does that mean I agree with everything the other side says and does? Heck no. But when the alternative is trying to take the world back to 1930's Germany...
Thumbnail is distasteful if you’re not going to talk about the situation. There’s very clearly a right side in regards to that too which you probably wouldn’t have gotten cancelled for, but you content creators turn out spineless most of the time. I’m praying you address this Ludwig. We need people to start speaking out and combating the support of this terrible behavior.
Both him a Critical just pretending like nothing happened is crazy. Especially with Critical considering he'd make a video about a guy farting in a mcdonalds but wont touch this because he is afraid of loosing precious ad rev
@ exactly. And the thing is no one is even wanting them to be political, because this isn’t about politics. Elon isn’t a politician and that symbol he did is just objectively and morally wrong. Make a video making fun of him like you usually do it’s literally not even off brand for your content.
He is a centrist, why you expect to make him left wing message? They are part of the problem.
@@robhans5 you’re dense. Like I said, I’m not asking anyone to be political. A right wing, centrist, and a leftist can basically all agree in 2025 that that gesture musk did is absolutely unacceptable. We might have certain beliefs that differ but it’s universally accepted that everyone deserves basic human rights and that gesture literally represents the opposite of that. No one is asking to make him a “left wing message” and you literally sound dumb even saying that. I don’t even know how you’re arguing right now it’s people like you that disgust me because not even a single strand of dna in my body would let me get anywhere near defending this situation
@@robhans5 being anti-nazi isn't left wing lmao
Ya know, ideologically I really agree with you saying that homie has a bad mindset around the attitude of the right. However, after trying to have a conversation about fascism with my mother I can say that we are well and truly cooked. These people cannot separate themselves from the structure of the world fed to them by the big news channel.
Yeah so no biggie but he also did a Naz* salute at a presidential inauguration and attended a German far-right event shortly after saying German people shouldn't feel guilty and must be proud to be German so there's that too.
”Doing an elon” should be an exspresion for people who buy an account
Why was Ludwig likening kneejerk politics to league toxicity actually one of the most mature takes I’ve heard all week
Also, elon is a "not see"
Yeah, he failed to mention that as part of his terrible week. But I guess this is worse???
@@Guru1293it was recorded before that but it’s still cringe he used it in the thumbnail for clickbait
This is like being the richest person on the planet, and being so insecure with himself, that he pays another person to get him Challenger in League of Legends so he can que up and play norms and pretend he's not only the richest person on the planet, but could win Worlds if he "really had the time". It is embarrassing, not because it's a video game, but because he cares so much, he has exposed himself as being that terribly insecure, that being "just ok" isn't good enough. I'm hardstuck Gold. I probably always will be. I got no money. I'm in the inverse to Elon, and I'm far more secure about it.
22:36 this response just seems very tactless. This isn't a video game where LP is on the line. People are getting separated from their families, people are being oppressed and attacked for their identity, and to top it all off none of the things these people say they voted for is happening. Prices for gas isn't going down, groceries, everything is going to go up. They aren't making a "bad play" in a video game, they are actively destroying peoples lives, AND their own lives as well. All the while they are the ones attacking, they are the ones calling the left vermin, they are the ones flaming the left in chat. It's equally as narrow-minded, IF NOT MORE SO, to have this sort of fake nuanced stance. It's not nuanced to say "guys don't be mean to them, they might be attacking you, shitting everywhere, and calling you the spawn of Satan but if you're mean back they will never listen to you and you'll never win!". Also what a terrible thumbnail, I know the stream probably happened before he even did the salute, but at the very least don't use it as clickbait. Literally anything else would have been better but it just makes you look like a tool. I love your content but this just irks me all the wrong ways, especially from you who has had consistently well thought out takes on things, maybe that only applies to streaming and games, not politics.
I was gonna make a similar comment about Ludwig's shitass Enlightened Centrist take but you worded it far better. You don't become a Trump supporter if you possess critical thought, and you especially don't fall for his propaganda and vote for him if you possess critical thinking skills. The American Far Right lacks critical thinking and empathy and, well, intelligence really, and it's obvious those must be true given how much they just won the elections despite running on platforms of "Not See" promises and lack of any platforms.
Thank you Ludwig for covering all of the biggest drama around Elon Musk that happened lately. That shadow banning Asmongold and taking away his checkmark was craaaaazy, nothing can ever come close 💀💀
Didn't even touch on the fascist solute😔
TheSpudHunter looks into the statement that kinda flew under the radar when Musk said he was a good Quake player... he was not that either
14:50 a certain hand movement would disagree
I love how elon tried to shut down asmon with the whole "your not your own man" thing using the argument that if you work for someone your somehow inferior, which not only pisses off like 90 percent of the working Americans (including his own employees I assume) who read that tweet or are gonn hear about, but it didn't even make sense because asmon is a youtuber and is therefore self employed, which by the way is common knowledge to most people and certainly should be common knowledge of your a "tech genuis" like Elon. So not only did he lose the moral high ground, but he also looked incredibly stupid in front of his tech bro fan base.
My favorite part is when he misunderstood Asmons response to his DM when he says he has editors who work for him, and Elon took that as the editors run the channel not Asmon, then preceeded to post the DMs, therefore self reporting how out of touch he is.
Elon is catching nothing but L's and its hilarious 😂
Ludwig laments that he doesn't know POE2 enough to hatewatch Elon. The thing is, he could jump into the game and play for about 30 to 60 minutes to already realize how shit Elon actually is. Full inventory, trying to pick up items when full, and most importantly dragging items from ground to inventory.
18:20 I've been thinking about this since like the first time I heard the saying. If you literally just flipped the order to "eat your cake and have it too" it would suddenly make a billion times more sense, because by order of operations, once you've eaten the cake, you no longer have it (and wouldn't you know it, apparently this variant used to be more common until like a hundred years ago)
He reached rock bottom and pulled out a pickaxe 😭🙏
The Elon Musk situation is crazy
I can't believe that he didn't see Musk's Elden Ring screenshot xD
Lud grabbing every single cup plate and bowl he sees thinking he’ll need it is a hilarious thing to visualize in your head
20:38 guy in chat "Im a 50 month hasan sub ☝️🤓" congrats buddy
Oh this is bad timing
Disappointing using the salute and not talking about it at all. Bad look
30:11 That point is called self-centeredness. It benefits them more to double down instead of backpedal. Its why all of Luds examples gave into nazism.
11:14 brother just explained Asmongolding
I love how his own chat flames him, calls him stupid, and he doesnt even notice 🤣🤣
"He's a pretty cool guy, I like rocket ships too." what about Nazi salutes? You like those or are we not talking about that?
crazy that it's in the thumbnail and he's not even mentioning it.
I can’t get over him calling it “Paths of Exile” (plural) the whole vid
He went from probably some of the best PR and reputation among billionaires- at least in the online communities he so desperately wants attention and respect from- to some of the worst in barely five years. This needs to be studied.
The divorced energy just seeps through him
@@LostStarzOfTheSky That might have been an inflection point.
Would love to see Lud be a guest announcer on a random confusing video game with no prior knowledge
Politics aside is such a cowardly thing to say...
Bro, Ludwig is a pretty open leftist
@ right, so why didn't he say anything? Why put politics aside in this very political time? Why put politics aside when our very lives are political? Why put politics aside for the sake of a palatable video, when our country is burning?
Why be a coward?
@@finetimegames3789 He's a pretty open moronic coward, at this point.
His opinions align with the left but everything he says about politics is empty and pathetic. His League metaphor was idiotic pandering. Ludwig believed Trump when he said P25 was "too extreme" and hasn't addressed the fact that P25 is literally word for word what Trump's first week has been implementing.
Leftists aren't immune to being imbeciles. Ludwig is an imbecile.
@@mattwalewangkodog it ain’t that deep. some people just don’t enjoy talking about politics. he’s not a political steamer and his fan base don’t watch him for in-depth breakdowns of these issues.
while i absolutely agree it’s imperative to discuss things like that, it’s just as important to have a medium where people can enjoy themselves, politics aside.
@@CainValkrie sure, I understand
But Elon Musk is a divisive political figure, you can't say his name and be on the fence. That's cowardly. You should feel pressured to say something political if you bring up politics.
Especially when you bring up an important topic, such as the pseudo-president Musk.
16:20 Crazy edit LMAO
Did u just use Elon doing a hitler salute as click bait and then not address the political state of the US at all in your video? I’ve been a ludbud for so long, one of your female viewers, and this is just… disappointing.
yeah, like if he didn't want to talk about it why bring it up at all by putting the image in the thumbnail?
Speaking of only being good at one thing: Erdos, a famous prolific mathematician, struggled with basic tasks like opening a bottle of milk.
This had more outrage than that other thing he just did, mental
Ludwig is so real especially when you realize Elon named his child X 4:41
Ludwin is a hasan simp
Elon musk going crazy was not on my bingo card
adding things that happened like 2 years ago to your bingo card isnt normal anyways so why would you
@@traskforgedamn. Nice one.
He's always been like this
How could it not be haha?
@@traskforge The Thailand stuff was 6 years ago.
BOYS the solution is easy.
Invite Elon to Worlds Greatest Gamer 3. Just have him 1v1 Void
Joe Rogan on games: they're a waste of time
Joe Rogan when he can suck up to Elon Musk: being good at games makes you an exceptional human being
lets say it that way:
if you played the start fo the game for more then 2 hours you would know/act differently then elon did
New marketing monday is lit
the "four things" bit is like someone claiming challenger in league but they dont know what objectives are like calling baron a thing... it just wouldnt happen if you put that much time in the game. im challenger but what are those things running down each lane. like crucial game mechanics in general.
100% elon hasn't touched the game outside of stream.
30:02 I want everyone to know that he wanted to make rockets black, you can’t do that they will in fact explode. You are putting something that absorbs light into the space where the light is coming from, that is a bad fucking idea.
Streamers are a wild breed. Charlie just has to buy a lamp and has been telling ghost stories for weeks.
Can confirm the dude from Arkansas is sick of rich people
32:20 It's called tribalism, a cognitive bias it dehumanizes other groups and humanizes our in conjunction with the negativity bias we don't listen to criticism to our beliefs but exaggerate positivity. it's not just "the elon fan boys" It's everyone.
No wonder why doxxing is a thing,
“You don’t win the game like that” go off lud
He’s a billionaire mate he’s had a great week and he’s probably gonna have a great year.
Comes out so late and this still hits so good
ive seen people say this a couple times, but it really is so insane how out of touch elon is with internet culture despite craving validation and inclusion from it so badly. you would think he would at least hire some gen z interns to explain things to him so he doesn't look so clueless, but no
dayum never would have guessed that elon was like buuuu
explanation of "have your cake and eat it too": the phrase is backwards. You want to eat your cake and have it too. So you want to have the delight of eating your cake, but also have the delight of having this perfect unblemished cake.
5 minutes in and all I've learnt is that Elon is a isekai character.
Oh Ludwig, I got something to add to the list…
POE should ban elon
Imagine saying 'I Stand with Elon', even Ironically at this point... Yikes.
Side note Ludwig’s lighting looks really nice in the video and his hair and skin look perfect 👏
watching Lud play PoE would be so funny. only because he would crash out so hard constantly
the amount of people typing their opinions in chat is crazy. It gets lost so easily
Wait till bro sees the salute 💀
I knew all of Elon’s gaming achievement was bs boosting ever since I saw his Elden Ring build.
You can absolutely play PoE casually, but if you're ranking on the hardcore leaderboard you are in competition with hardcore nolifers. Reaching the top means it is consuming your life.
Yo listening to Ludwig talk about Poe was as painful as watching Elon play it.
at least he didn't pretend to be top7 in the world while having no idea of how the game even works
@@kerolokerokerolo true i think that as a poe 2 player i just want lud to experience it and ruin his life the way i did by downloading this shit lol its so addictive. so Im trying to bait him into it by saying e seemed clueless talking about it type of deal. but hes never gonna even talk about it again after this lol
@ noo, the game looks very hard to learn and to grind. just like lol, I'm glad I've never been tempted enough to play
@ its less intense than lol once you have a good build you just delete waves and have to watch out for the more dangerous one shot enemies. i played league for over 10 years and never got good at it but this is very much build based and not competitive so you can switch your brain of more without flaming teammates
Ludwin is turning into Big A Clips
Unfortunately he didn’t have a terrible week. Trump won and now due to the end of the EV mandate he has a chokehold on the EV market.
the donos during that asmongold segment are real actually
How do you "get rich"? It's a direct representation of scaled exploitation.
A billionaire is a high-level master exploiter. Mollusk for example, has 300,000 entire lifetimes of income (return for life-time) in assessed wealth.
Lud's runescape math adds up.
Alternative title: “Multi-millionaire internet celebrity tries to convince audience “I’m not like those other millionaires!””
SIEG ELON. SIEG ELON.
waiting for him backstabbing the wealthy juice arc
i feel so dense for not understanding the cake saying before the tts dono omfg
Lmao “most people don’t know caustic”
