Fun story. There is a famous CEO in Korea name Baek Jongwon, you might have seen him in culinary class wars as the judge. He is well known as a genuine gamer. He loves WoW and Diablo, he even did a collaboration with diablo4 at his coffee brand. In 2010, a Tank player in his raid group had to quit because he needed a job, so Bake just hired him! The tank player still works for him as a supervisor. This is a famous story in the Korean gamming community.
I find it hilarious that a bunch of people that arent Top 10 in PoE2 are explaining why Elon's gameplay isnt Top 10. How would they know? Next they'll tell him how to build an electric car
Elon lost a lot of respect. Its not about the game. Its about lying for a game. It shows your character. If you are lying about this. What else are you lying about Elon?
It’s a reasonable question tbh. It’s either a sign he is lying about a lot, and more important things. Or it could still be he is just particularly weird about this one issue and lies about that. Like, for me. I am a very straight forward person who communicates openly about everything. But if I’m falling behind in work or my own work expectations I can get extremely avoidant about communicating it. I’m not avoidant in any other scenario. This could be that kind of thing for him or it could be a sign he is a total farce. To be determined I guess.
If dude would've just shown himself casually playing through the campaign he would've avoided 99% of the drama. At this point I am doubting he even played the campaign at all.
Doesn't change the fact that he's still the richest man in the world who's capable of buying other people's time and paying them to play video games for him 😂😂😂
He didn’t start or build or invent anything he just used his already existing wealth from apartheid South Africa idk what happened with him and PayPal but after that spacex and Tesla were already starting he just bought the companies with the stipulation to say he was a founder he’s definitely smart in business but doesn’t know anything about engineering science math ect.
"Is this worse than the blindfold girl?" ABSOLUTELY! Because now it calls into question all of his accolades which we have to assume are also bought and lied about. At least that girl fell off the face of the Earth, we're not going to be lucky enough for that to happen to Elon
The girl was just some random tryna make money by pretending to be good. Elon the world's richest man with multiple companies under his name and affiliations to world governments. Like how pathetic do you have to be to act like you're good at games when you have everything the world has to offer. This the shit you'd expect your 11 year old brother to do to impress you. It's so sad.
This reminds me so much of Ready Player One when the CEO is trying to be relatable with Wade to try and bait and switch him, acting like he is just a regular gamer that is in it for the love of the game but really he just has an earpiece in with his team feeding him tropes of what it's like a be a gamer.
@EuropeanEmpireEU Its certainly an interesting dynamic to see that somehow people trust and like Zuck more then Elon now. People have the memory of a goldfish it seems, and the eyesight of a bull seeing only the red flag waved in front of them.
Yeah exactly. I dont hate him for this , but if he had just shown us him struggling and slowly gittin gud everybody would have liked him more, like relatable. This just makes him look fragile.
He lies about it because that’s what he does. He really isn’t a super genius but he wants people to believe he is. He knows just enough to talk BS about rockets and electric cars that people think “that guy knows what he’s talking about”. But, for those who really understand those fields, they’ve been calling him a fraud for a very long time.
My dudes, as Asmon always says, most of us are the equivalent of Gaming PH D's. We are experiencing what every specialist feels when Elon talks about their field: It may sound impressive for the average person, but we can see right through his ineptness Elon is a professional bullshiter and I am glad the gaming community is waking up to it
I don't feel like the blindfold is worse. For me, this is WAY worse. At least with the blindfold girl, she was actually good at the game. She just lied about doing it blind.
Elon's character suddenly dying like 2 days after he got outed is real suspicious. I believe he agreed with his pilot to kill off that character so he doesn't have to keep playing in hopes that this whole drama would die down.
I don't think he bought the account. I think he literally just pays people to grind his account for him, and they take shifts--so his account is always active and leveling.
I knew immediately when he was talking on Rogan about being the #1 Diablo 4 player that he was paying someone to play for him. There's no way he has enough time to do it if he's handling Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter in any capacity. It seems less about ego, and more a part of him trying to help boost Twitter as a streaming platform. Not that the man isn't a complete narcissist lol. You have to be one to get to that point.
Exactly, even if you assume he does next to nothing in the companies, he has meetings, legal issues, friends, aquaintances. There's just no time to get to that level in a game.
He’s also a father of 11 kids and suppose to be running a new government agency pretty soon. This guys gaming setup is located in a hyperbolic time chamber.
If he just played the game casually, honestly, letting people watch him on the journey of learning the game or some shit it would have made gamers love him 100%, but I guess he couldn't stand not being the best at something
@@Northex23 yeah I used to like Musk until I learned he didn't start Tesla. These other guys built it from scratch, then he funded it and did everything he could to erase them from history because he couldn't stand not being the 'genius' who started it. There was even a lawsuit over it.
Elon lying about his achievements in games does matter, as it sets a precedent. People invest money in his companies, and if he's willing to lie (on multiple talk shows) about something so small it's not at all a stretch to think he would lie, or at the very least mislead investors
Evidence of Account Boosting: Lack of Game Mechanics Knowledge: During streams, Musk was observed struggling with basic gameplay mechanics, like inventory management and understanding map nodes, which are essential for high-level play, particularly in hardcore mode where one mistake can lead to permanent character death. This has led many to believe he wasn't the one who leveled the character. Inventory and Loot Management: Musk's character was seen with a full inventory attempting to pick up items without space, and notably without a loot filter, which is almost standard for high-level players to manage drops efficiently. This behavior suggests unfamiliarity with advanced gameplay strategies. Named Stash Tabs: A stash tab labeled "Elon's map" was noted, which is unusual for someone playing their own account, suggesting that another player might have curated this for him. Technical and Temporal Anomalies: Server Discrepancies: There were mentions of Musk playing on servers not matching his location, like using a Hong Kong server while streaming from the US, which hints at account sharing or boosting from a different location. Time Constraints: Given Musk's extensive commitments across multiple businesses and public roles, the sheer amount of time required to achieve such high levels in a complex game like Path of Exile 2 on hardcore mode has been questioned. The community suggests it's unlikely he personally invested the hundreds of hours needed. Community and Streamer Reactions: Streamer Analysis: Notable Path of Exile streamers and content creators have criticized Musk's gameplay, pointing out numerous mistakes not expected from someone at that level in the game. They've suggested that his account might have been boosted by others. Social Media Sentiment: Posts on platforms like X have echoed similar sentiments, with users mocking Musk's gameplay abilities and suggesting account boosting or sharing. Conclusion on Gameplay: While Musk has publicly acknowledged playing the game, the consensus among hardcore players and observers is that his character's level and gear were likely the result of someone else's gameplay, either through account boosting or sharing, given the observed gameplay deficiencies and the time commitment required. This situation reflects broader discussions in the gaming community about transparency, skill, and the ethics of account boosting or sharing in competitive games. However, without direct confirmation from Musk or official statements from Grinding Gear Games, these remain speculations based on observed behaviors and anomalies in gameplay.
Did you use gork for this? Lol I asked gork and this is what I got. The question of whether Elon Musk is actually playing Diablo 4 has been a topic of discussion, given his high-profile status and numerous business commitments. Here's a nuanced look at the situation based on available information: Public Statements and Gameplay Evidence: Elon Musk has publicly claimed to be one of the top players of Diablo 4, specifically mentioning on social media and in interviews like his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience that he is among the top 20 players globally. There are videos shared by Musk himself or reported on platforms like X where he is seen playing the game, including streams and clips of him clearing high-level dungeons like Pit 150. These actions suggest he is indeed playing the game. Skepticism and Theories: However, skepticism persists due to the time commitment required to achieve such rankings. Some speculate that Musk might be employing others to play on his behalf, given his busy schedule. There have been discussions around the use of glitches or purchasing in-game advantages, although no concrete evidence supports these claims. The gaming community has noted that while Musk might be playing, the extent of his personal involvement in reaching such high ranks could be exaggerated or facilitated by others. Community and Media Reactions: The gaming community's response has been mixed. Some gamers are impressed by Musk's claimed achievements, while others are skeptical about how a person with his level of responsibility could find the time to play so extensively. Discussions on platforms like Reddit and reports from various gaming news outlets have highlighted both admiration for Musk's dedication to gaming and doubts about the authenticity of his achievements. Conclusion: While there is evidence that Elon Musk is playing Diablo 4, the extent to which he personally achieves these high rankings versus possible assistance or exploitation of game mechanics remains a point of debate. The truth likely lies somewhere between Musk being an active player with genuine skill and possibly leveraging his resources to enhance his gameplay experience. In summary, Musk is indeed playing Diablo 4, but the community's skepticism about the methods behind his in-game success reflects broader questions about privilege, time management, and the integrity of competitive gaming achievements in the context of someone with Musk's resources and influence.
lol you gotta be kidding me, he can catch a giant rocket and you think he cares about what gamers think now, I feel like people like you are the ones with 11 year old mindset.
Think back to when you were a kid in the 80s and 90s. Remember being bullied for being a nerd and liking video games? Now, imagine telling your younger self that in 2024, the richest man in the world would pretend to be a gamer, just to boost his popularity. I would have just laughed. Mostly because I hadn't seen Idiocracy yet.
It’s so weird that he would even want to be the #1 rank at any modern game. It’s like he doesn’t even understand what it takes to BE #1 in games these days. Like the dude explains in this video, rankings like these are achieved more by time commitment than skill commitment. With as busy and important as he is, he SHOULDNT want to be the highest rank gamer. It’s like a dead giveaway that he’s not working when he should be. He’s about to have to DOGE himself. There’s this underlying immaturity about Elon that is concerning.
I don't think you really get how Elon Musk's average day looks. Dude's done working, he's long reached the point where his work day is just showing up on a call for a bit during meetings every few weeks, he's barely more than an investor at this point in the companies attached to his name.
I feel like this is a terrible example. Almost like a snob chess player trying to snip at the new players so they don't lose their position in ranked LOL
He bought a premade car company, throw a contest for space craft ideas, bought a premade social media, and bought how he made his first monies, he wasn’t on the ground floor of PayPal dude bought his way in.. dudes been buying his whole life
@@afink5480 Yea he just got lucky with the first ever successful car company, telecom company, and rocket company in 100 years. 3 near impossible things. All luck. lol k.
@0:44 Elon Musk's story put the nail in the coffin for how I feel about Diablo IV. That the game is so easy and pathetic, you couldn't even tell he was being carried. That's hilarious. After watching him play PoE2, it became too obvious.
A CEO's entire role in society is to pay other people to do things while pretending to know what they're talking about. All CEOs are like this, even in the small business world, because it is their literal job.
@goprochef6352 Competence in the business world, and having connections. But you don't become CEO by knowing the material, by being the best scientist or engineer. This is the key distinction. Your board and your investors must BELIEVE you know what you're talking about, but it's the engineers doing the work and giving you the info.
Imagine people with an actual life watching this. A college dropout who became a millionaire playing video games exposing the richest man in the world as a fraud video gamer. Heads exploding left and right.
He's quite far from the world's first trillionaire. We already have a quadrillionaire family due to the recent inflation of the USD. The Redsigns were estimated to be worth over 500 TRILLION...
You realize that there are people like the Saudi royal family, Vladimir Putin, Rothschilds, etc. that have way more money than is publicly disclosed right? He is just the richest person with publicly visible assets. Can he outspend the Saudi royal family? No way.
@@CpttCanadaElon is for Elon he's only masquerading as a conservative to get into the good graces of Trump. Same reason Zuckerberg is acting like he's a "bro for Trump" billionaires will suck up to whoever is in power to help their corporation.
With Diablo 4, he frequently appeared on stream with top streamers like Rob. Elon clearly knows a lot about Diablo 4, but he is not an expert, and Rob tells him what build to use. Everybody assumes that Rob and his community gives Elon all the items, so nothing extremely dishonest is happening. It's happening live on stream. Nobody thinks he did it alone. With PoE2, Elon hasn't been streaming (probably too busy with politics), so you wouldn't have had a bunch of fanboys give him all the items. And he has a character that basically cannot be done solo unless you play 24/7. It's probably multiple people feeding that one account.
D4 is easy but it was still easy to tell he was lying playing a boosted account. All his gear had 4 greater aspects and he was running the broken/meta Quill Volley build. 100% he bought all of his gear with RMT
There is no evidence he actually cheats in Diablo. You could see him play the game with knowledge of it. The only thing he didn't do was to play POE2 but that's because he doesn't have any time to lay it, especially recent months,how could he, he's involved in everything from his companies to politics. Even POE2 was just used to test Starlink, not to prove his gaming capabilities.
14:02. If I were Musk, I would put out a video showing me pretending to play this game, and in the next room, you see the actual guy playing the game... 😂
All the people commenting on this video saying “I was an Elon fan until now” is genuinely depressing. It shows how under-informed the average person is. This shouldn’t be news to anyone. He lied about his childhood, he lied about his higher education accolades, he has lied about his engineering knowledge and coding expertise, he’s lied about so much. So so much. He’s been taking credit for other people’s work his entire life. There’s a reason he’s the world’s richest man, because he’s a terrible person. I assure you that you have nothing in common with him, and if you do, if you’re as insecure as he is, that doesn’t automatically mean that you’ll be a billionaire one day. Please stop caping for these people. There’s nothing masculine about it. There’s nothing impressive about it. Value yourself and how you can make the lives of those around you better. Elon should not be someone you look up to. This is part of growing up.
Elon a bigger poser than that preppy kid from high school who pops his Abercrombie and Fitch collar and claims to skate so you give him your board and he can’t do an ollie.
Damn. Walmart employees really raging at Elon over a simple thing lmfao. Bro is really mad Musk supported Trump but can't say it outright cause you know you'll look butthurt LOL!
It's a metaphor. Elon didn't start LIFE at level one, why do people believe he would take the trouble to start at level one in a game? That's for wagers and serfs. Do you have any idea how much harder it is to get form level 1 to 97 without help or cheating? It much easier to start at level 97. Some people's parents, grandparents, and in some cases great grandparents, put them in the position to start the game at level 90 or 96 at birth. Some people start at level 1 but their character is starts of with high charisma, good looking with a great voice, and has a high IQ, and that helps them move fast through the levels. But a lot had great grandparents and parents that played the game really well, and handed the controller to their kids at level 96. This is the way life works.
Gamers need to provide relatable context and analogy to people outside the niche POE community. His livestream is like saying you're a Minecraft top-tier speedrunner but not knowing how to chop down a tree; an elite League of Legends player but not knowing you can level up character's skills; a Binding of Isaac dead god achievement grinder without knowing you can long press R to restart the game... Elon Musk is a fraud - not just in terms of gaming, but in general. Anything of significant value he has ever claimed to have done is either no true at all, or heavily distorted from what actually happened to make him look impressive.
He would’ve done so much better just starting from level1. But Elon suffers from rich person syndrome which is just very common. Rich people just tend to want to buy maxed out accounts. I had a friend that was like that. He would buy multiple maxed accounts just to get the best one but again he didn’t exactly lie about it.
Out of all the cons and lies he told, Never in a million years have i thought that the one he would be exposed for would be him pretending to be a pro gamer
I have a theory that after so many years of a PR campaign being run on the internet to make Elon look good to the public, Elon genuinely believes his own PR campaign because the dude has an ego (obviously) and has just been running around assuming he's just automatically cool and awesome at everything he does. The fact that he didn't even get briefed or played a couple of days offline before that stream just goes to show how high he thinks of himself.
The funny thing about this D4 and PoE are such a massive joke once you had pay 2 win (and lot of it) person can steamroll the content even if he does not know shit. Imagine that (and as Musk himself say let's that sink in).
It’s the aspect of feeling too big to fall..you can ask why all day with everything sometimes there’s not gonna be a proper answer..he seeks validation and will lie to get it..that’s it.
Elon has no difference than the rich people who climb Mount Everest, the poor guides carry all the gears, and the rich just walk up to the top. They will claim they break some kind record after all. Elon wasn't trying to impress you guys, he trying to show he better than you, he dominate everything. He is just a bully at heart, such cartoonish villain.
Except gamers dont really care. Only the most absolute of sweatlords with no jobs even aim to be number 1 in games. The vast majority of players just play it at their pace instead.
Which rich people are doing that? Quit making up fake stories to act like a victim, nobody is trying to dominate you by pretending to be good at a game
Because Elon musk been involving with China too much. Picking the face(egoistic) thing from China, all about ranking and one upmanship. Yes, its common in China paying someone to grind the game for you since 90's when mmorpg just started in China. This proof that Elon Musk is a Chinese gamer.
Yeah all of these poor losers somehow don’t understand that. Chaos orbs mean nothing to us that are wealthy. Also we actually have the TIME to slowly click each item and drag them into our inventory.
@copyninja8756 you mean, the guys he hired are good at rockets. The amount of times his own engineers had to publicly correct him on his own company is in the double digits
o think he did it to impress his collegues and normal people "look i can do all of my stuff and im a great gamer" which just makes non gamers think that beeing good at videogames has to be very easy if elon can do it...greatly diminishing the reputation of gamers. Ive played video games for over 30 years now very day of my life since im 6. im definitely good -im not great im not the best. i won actual monetary prices in esports way back. i can beat eldening and all souls titles no problem, i ranked in the top 3 pvpers in new world on my server. Im good - and i understand to be the best in a game you dont just need skill and experience, you have to study the mechanics and systems of the game like its science class, you have to no life the game for a long time....theres lots of boring shit i cant be bothered to do anymore like finding out glitches and looking into code to get how the mechanics actually work cause descriptions in game are often inaccurate and if you are among the best - you did all the theory work outside the game. And what i see, if you are great at one game...you are likely still pretty good at other games cause you have a base understanding of how games work. If you are great at one shooter this translates into being good at shooters cause you have the basic skills of aiming and dodging. If you are great in PoE id expect you to be good at eldenring cause you have good reaction and can dodge. So....on the fact alone that Elon sucked at Eldenring i dont believe hes any good at PoE or Diablo 4
Part of his "preparation" for the fake stream, should have been some sort of excuse beforehand, given to him by the "progamer". If he'd have just said at the beginning: "Pardon my gameplay, I'm on an airplane on a laptop, so I don't have my loot filters here, can't see much on the display and have a touchpad instead of mouse. I just want to see the connection via Starlink, which is perfect". Boom. No questions asked. Everything would be covered under that excuse.
Yeah, you talk about results not some abstract greatness. For instance, I used to play quake2 like 8h a day and the highest I got was to the semi-finals on a local Estonian tournament. Most already knew who the greatest players in each region was and the absolute global top10 were kind of superstars inside the community. When someone tries to tell that they were some unknown secret talent, then they are 100% full of it.
@@dopaminefield There would be a record, exactly, people would remember, and the top dudes were playing all day. I have heard that Elon didn't actuallty take part in the founding of Paypal, he came in later. Also with Tesla, apparently they were already building electric vehicles when he bought them out. I haven't fact cheked, but it's interesting. i always felt he was to eager to please and a bit fake.
Well this doesn't really shock me. People like him do not have the time to master a game. They're too busy running businesses and someone else can play the game for him since it's literally not worth his time. That said, he's not really any different than a typical game whale, except the part where he doesn't have the skill and attention span to back up his p2w money.
Hes that nerd in school who never was cool enough to sit with people during lunch at school but now that he's got money and fame he thinks he's accepted now but he never got the social skills to actually be cool so he's gotta lie and fake stuff like this.
The reason why he claimed he was so good in both Diablo 4 and PoE2 was probably (at least partly) because of the reaction to his Elden Ring build. It was so bad it was fairly plausible that it was actually his own build. He was mocked relentlessly for how bad it was. In his own mind he never understood that he was more relatable that way, or that people thought it was great that he actually played. He only understood the mocking, so then "I'll show myself as a good player then". Is what I'm assuming (I'm not justifying)
Never really understood how people thought and believed a man that busy could dedicate THAT much time on the game to be at such a high level, when there's streamers doing very long and sometimes 24hr streams to do the same.
I burst out laughing when he said one of the top Quake players. I'm an Unreal vet so I love those old school Arena Shooters but to be a top player in one of those? I don't buy it.
He is also NOT and engineer whatsoever, he just buys companies that are already huge and appoints himself as the CTO or a "head of engineering". This guy just cares SO much about other people viewing him as "cool" and "smart" it's insane
He never claimed to be an engineer to be fair. He was originally a programmer. He’s done long form discussions on engineering for years where this is discussed.
And getting destroyed by everyone whilst using that gladiator mount lmao. Anyone could tell if they were boosted or not. The gladiator + community is so small, like max 5 k people.

But, for those who really understand those fields, they’ve been calling him a fraud for a very long time.
This is his mo. Pay people to do shit for him then take credit
My dudes, as Asmon always says, most of us are the equivalent of Gaming PH D's.
We are experiencing what every specialist feels when Elon talks about their field: It may sound impressive for the average person, but we can see right through his ineptness
Elon is a professional bullshiter and I am glad the gaming community is waking up to it
Haha thats a fantastic way to describe it
Instant -1,000,000 Aura.
Elon has been banished to the Shadow Realm.
He will never recover from this
If he's gonna lie about something so stupid imagine lying about stuff that matters.
Yeah, like he was good at Diablo 4 🤣
yep, lost all respect for him over this. like why lie about something so stupid? lol
This says a lot about his character, kinda crazy
Don't really have to imagine, he's lied a lot over the years.
He already controlled social media and the narrative. What he says is true, and you cannot actually challenge him. Lol get wrecked people 😂
In the 90s everyone thought they were the best Quake deatmatch player in the world. Then we got internet.
Thats some Joe Rogan shit!
but i beat all 10 of my casual friends at our LAN parties!!!111

@kylefer 🤣 Dude, that song was hilarious. I'm gonna go listen to it now for the nostalgia.
man really said 'hardcore gamer' while playing like it’s his first tutorial
it was required by his ego.
I don't feel like the blindfold is worse. For me, this is WAY worse. At least with the blindfold girl, she was actually good at the game. She just lied about doing it blind.
the fact that a rare item like chaos orb been droped in livestream it was like a universe want us to know something
Elon's character suddenly dying like 2 days after he got outed is real suspicious. I believe he agreed with his pilot to kill off that character so he doesn't have to keep playing in hopes that this whole drama would die down.
Facts
Oh he really died ??
Likely.
how does that make any sense? lol dumb af
yeah, im sure his pilot had qa lot of saying there... :D
I don't think he bought the account. I think he literally just pays people to grind his account for him, and they take shifts--so his account is always active and leveling.

@@david10808 Pay is probably pennies.
I knew immediately when he was talking on Rogan about being the #1 Diablo 4 player that he was paying someone to play for him. There's no way he has enough time to do it if he's handling Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter in any capacity. It seems less about ego, and more a part of him trying to help boost Twitter as a streaming platform. Not that the man isn't a complete narcissist lol. You have to be one to get to that point.
Exactly, even if you assume he does next to nothing in the companies, he has meetings, legal issues, friends, aquaintances. There's just no time to get to that level in a game.
He’s also a father of 11 kids and suppose to be running a new government agency pretty soon. This guys gaming setup is located in a hyperbolic time chamber.
If he just played the game casually, honestly, letting people watch him on the journey of learning the game or some shit it would have made gamers love him 100%, but I guess he couldn't stand not being the best at something
I believehe's still decent at it tho because d4 is easy ass game, but #1? no way
@@Northex23 yeah I used to like Musk until I learned he didn't start Tesla. These other guys built it from scratch, then he funded it and did everything he could to erase them from history because he couldn't stand not being the 'genius' who started it.
There was even a lawsuit over it.
Elon lying about his achievements in games does matter, as it sets a precedent. People invest money in his companies, and if he's willing to lie (on multiple talk shows) about something so small it's not at all a stretch to think he would lie, or at the very least mislead investors
Evidence of Account Boosting:
Lack of Game Mechanics Knowledge: During streams, Musk was observed struggling with basic gameplay mechanics, like inventory management and understanding map nodes, which are essential for high-level play, particularly in hardcore mode where one mistake can lead to permanent character death. This has led many to believe he wasn't the one who leveled the character.
Inventory and Loot Management: Musk's character was seen with a full inventory attempting to pick up items without space, and notably without a loot filter, which is almost standard for high-level players to manage drops efficiently. This behavior suggests unfamiliarity with advanced gameplay strategies.
Named Stash Tabs: A stash tab labeled "Elon's map" was noted, which is unusual for someone playing their own account, suggesting that another player might have curated this for him.
Technical and Temporal Anomalies:
Server Discrepancies: There were mentions of Musk playing on servers not matching his location, like using a Hong Kong server while streaming from the US, which hints at account sharing or boosting from a different location.
Time Constraints: Given Musk's extensive commitments across multiple businesses and public roles, the sheer amount of time required to achieve such high levels in a complex game like Path of Exile 2 on hardcore mode has been questioned. The community suggests it's unlikely he personally invested the hundreds of hours needed.
Community and Streamer Reactions:
Streamer Analysis: Notable Path of Exile streamers and content creators have criticized Musk's gameplay, pointing out numerous mistakes not expected from someone at that level in the game. They've suggested that his account might have been boosted by others.
Social Media Sentiment: Posts on platforms like X have echoed similar sentiments, with users mocking Musk's gameplay abilities and suggesting account boosting or sharing.
Conclusion on Gameplay: While Musk has publicly acknowledged playing the game, the consensus among hardcore players and observers is that his character's level and gear were likely the result of someone else's gameplay, either through account boosting or sharing, given the observed gameplay deficiencies and the time commitment required.
This situation reflects broader discussions in the gaming community about transparency, skill, and the ethics of account boosting or sharing in competitive games. However, without direct confirmation from Musk or official statements from Grinding Gear Games, these remain speculations based on observed behaviors and anomalies in gameplay.
Did you use gork for this? Lol I asked gork and this is what I got.
The question of whether Elon Musk is actually playing Diablo 4 has been a topic of discussion, given his high-profile status and numerous business commitments. Here's a nuanced look at the situation based on available information:
Public Statements and Gameplay Evidence:
Elon Musk has publicly claimed to be one of the top players of Diablo 4, specifically mentioning on social media and in interviews like his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience that he is among the top 20 players globally. There are videos shared by Musk himself or reported on platforms like X where he is seen playing the game, including streams and clips of him clearing high-level dungeons like Pit 150. These actions suggest he is indeed playing the game.
Skepticism and Theories:
However, skepticism persists due to the time commitment required to achieve such rankings. Some speculate that Musk might be employing others to play on his behalf, given his busy schedule. There have been discussions around the use of glitches or purchasing in-game advantages, although no concrete evidence supports these claims. The gaming community has noted that while Musk might be playing, the extent of his personal involvement in reaching such high ranks could be exaggerated or facilitated by others.
Community and Media Reactions:
The gaming community's response has been mixed. Some gamers are impressed by Musk's claimed achievements, while others are skeptical about how a person with his level of responsibility could find the time to play so extensively. Discussions on platforms like Reddit and reports from various gaming news outlets have highlighted both admiration for Musk's dedication to gaming and doubts about the authenticity of his achievements.
Conclusion:
While there is evidence that Elon Musk is playing Diablo 4, the extent to which he personally achieves these high rankings versus possible assistance or exploitation of game mechanics remains a point of debate. The truth likely lies somewhere between Musk being an active player with genuine skill and possibly leveraging his resources to enhance his gameplay experience.
In summary, Musk is indeed playing Diablo 4, but the community's skepticism about the methods behind his in-game success reflects broader questions about privilege, time management, and the integrity of competitive gaming achievements in the context of someone with Musk's resources and influence.

He’s not a gamer. He’s just branding himself as one to sell Starlink
That’s exactly it
🤷
Starlink isn't even about Starlink; the real money is government money from selling Starshield.
He’s obviously a gamer. It doesn’t mean he’s not lying about all these achievements though

The guy has the literal emotional maturity of an 11 year old buy if he thinks he needs to impress people with a boosted POE account
i was about to say we all had a friend like this in childhood. bragging with some fake made up shit. its just annoying. maybe he never had any friends
Maybe he paid amber heard to say they slept together too
They all are Trump is literally the same.
He lies alot, he occasionally gets a idea that can work an pays enough smart people that make it happen, like tesla and space x
lol you gotta be kidding me, he can catch a giant rocket and you think he cares about what gamers think now, I feel like people like you are the ones with 11 year old mindset.
When people lie about meaningless things, imagine how much they lie about everything else.
Bingo

The guy is the richest person on earth and everyone is acting he is a saint. You dont get that kind of $$$ by being nice or a moral person,
he is one of the best business men in the world. you dont get there by honesty so it makes sense.
This is such a braindead take. People lie about meaningless things _because_ its meaningless.
The GAME (Gaming Accountability Monitoring Entity) demands a public apology from Elon Musk.
Think back to when you were a kid in the 80s and 90s. Remember being bullied for being a nerd and liking video games? Now, imagine telling your younger self that in 2024, the richest man in the world would pretend to be a gamer, just to boost his popularity.
I would have just laughed. Mostly because I hadn't seen Idiocracy yet.
It’s so weird that he would even want to be the #1 rank at any modern game. It’s like he doesn’t even understand what it takes to BE #1 in games these days. Like the dude explains in this video, rankings like these are achieved more by time commitment than skill commitment. With as busy and important as he is, he SHOULDNT want to be the highest rank gamer. It’s like a dead giveaway that he’s not working when he should be. He’s about to have to DOGE himself.
There’s this underlying immaturity about Elon that is concerning.
I don't think you really get how Elon Musk's average day looks. Dude's done working, he's long reached the point where his work day is just showing up on a call for a bit during meetings every few weeks, he's barely more than an investor at this point in the companies attached to his name.
Elon is that guy that would buy pre-constructed Yu-Gi-Oh decks off eBay and beat kids at Toys R Us. Lmao
I feel like this is a terrible example. Almost like a snob chess player trying to snip at the new players so they don't lose their position in ranked LOL

@0:44 Elon Musk's story put the nail in the coffin for how I feel about Diablo IV. That the game is so easy and pathetic, you couldn't even tell he was being carried. That's hilarious. After watching him play PoE2, it became too obvious.
A CEO's entire role in society is to pay other people to do things while pretending to know what they're talking about. All CEOs are like this, even in the small business world, because it is their literal job.
You don’t become CEO by bullshitting… it takes a lot of competence
@goprochef6352 Competence in the business world, and having connections. But you don't become CEO by knowing the material, by being the best scientist or engineer. This is the key distinction.

It takes a certain level of narcissism to lie about being the best at a game when you're trending towards the world's first trillionaire.
Demonic influence.
He's quite far from the world's first trillionaire. We already have a quadrillionaire family due to the recent inflation of the USD. The Redsigns were estimated to be worth over 500 TRILLION...
You realize that there are people like the Saudi royal family, Vladimir Putin, Rothschilds, etc. that have way more money than is publicly disclosed right? He is just the richest person with publicly visible assets. Can he outspend the Saudi royal family? No way.
A dishonest billionaire? shocking.
Funny that Elon also says he works 100 hours a week, so we know he's lying about something.
yeah i am pretty sure he counts playing games to his working hours just as he does doomscrolling twitter.
100 hours work
100 hours gaming
Its simple.

Stolen Valor is so cringe
using stolen valor over a video game is cringe
Stolen valor? My guy this is about a video game, not someone falling in action during a firefight.
nah whats cringe is comparing video games to veterans sacrifice
I said the same thing about D4 vs. PoE to a buddy. D4 is so ez no one noticed he was cheating. In PoE it was almost immediate that he got caught.
Anyone who play Diablo since Diablo 2, knows that there is a lot of RMT so even his claim to be the best I just ignored.
people noticed he was cheating in d4..
With Diablo 4, he frequently appeared on stream with top streamers like Rob. Elon clearly knows a lot about Diablo 4, but he is not an expert, and Rob tells him what build to use. Everybody assumes that Rob and his community gives Elon all the items, so nothing extremely dishonest is happening. It's happening live on stream. Nobody thinks he did it alone. With PoE2, Elon hasn't been streaming (probably too busy with politics), so you wouldn't have had a bunch of fanboys give him all the items. And he has a character that basically cannot be done solo unless you play 24/7. It's probably multiple people feeding that one account.
D4 is easy but it was still easy to tell he was lying playing a boosted account. All his gear had 4 greater aspects and he was running the broken/meta Quill Volley build. 100% he bought all of his gear with RMT
There is no evidence he actually cheats in Diablo. You could see him play the game with knowledge of it. The only thing he didn't do was to play POE2 but that's because he doesn't have any time to lay it, especially recent months,how could he, he's involved in everything from his companies to politics. Even POE2 was just used to test Starlink, not to prove his gaming capabilities.
Its both Elon is a fake gamer and fake CEO.
14:02. If I were Musk, I would put out a video showing me pretending to play this game, and in the next room, you see the actual guy playing the game... 😂
Welcome gamers, to seeing Elon Musk in the same way as a software developer, automotive engineer or rocket scientist has for years now...
All the people commenting on this video saying “I was an Elon fan until now” is genuinely depressing. It shows how under-informed the average person is. This shouldn’t be news to anyone. He lied about his childhood, he lied about his higher education accolades, he has lied about his engineering knowledge and coding expertise, he’s lied about so much. So so much. He’s been taking credit for other people’s work his entire life. There’s a reason he’s the world’s richest man, because he’s a terrible person. I assure you that you have nothing in common with him, and if you do, if you’re as insecure as he is, that doesn’t automatically mean that you’ll be a billionaire one day. Please stop caping for these people. There’s nothing masculine about it. There’s nothing impressive about it. Value yourself and how you can make the lives of those around you better. Elon should not be someone you look up to. This is part of growing up.
Elon a bigger poser than that preppy kid from high school who pops his Abercrombie and Fitch collar and claims to skate so you give him your board and he can’t do an ollie.
Damn that's some real og shit

@@justcrap3703 dude, you have to take your medicine regularly or the voices are coming back.
@@justcrap3703 I hope you find the help that you need brother. 🫡
It's a metaphor.
Elon didn't start LIFE at level one, why do people believe he would take the trouble to start at level one in a game? That's for wagers and serfs. Do you have any idea how much harder it is to get form level 1 to 97 without help or cheating? It much easier to start at level 97.
Some people's parents, grandparents, and in some cases great grandparents, put them in the position to start the game at level 90 or 96 at birth. Some people start at level 1 but their character is starts of with high charisma, good looking with a great voice, and has a high IQ, and that helps them move fast through the levels. But a lot had great grandparents and parents that played the game really well, and handed the controller to their kids at level 96.
This is the way life works.
"GuYs I'm A gOd GaMeR! i PaId ThE bEsT cHiNeSe GaMeRs I cOuLd FiNd!"
Gamers need to provide relatable context and analogy to people outside the niche POE community. His livestream is like saying you're a Minecraft top-tier speedrunner but not knowing how to chop down a tree; an elite League of Legends player but not knowing you can level up character's skills; a Binding of Isaac dead god achievement grinder without knowing you can long press R to restart the game...
Elon Musk is a fraud - not just in terms of gaming, but in general. Anything of significant value he has ever claimed to have done is either no true at all, or heavily distorted from what actually happened to make him look impressive.
He would’ve done so much better just starting from level1.
But Elon suffers from rich person syndrome which is just very common. Rich people just tend to want to buy maxed out accounts. I had a friend that was like that. He would buy multiple maxed accounts just to get the best one but again he didn’t exactly lie about it.
Out of all the cons and lies he told,
Never in a million years have i thought that the one he would be exposed for would be him pretending to be a pro gamer
The though that Elon had his lawyers write up an NDA for someone to play his account and keep it a secret... XD
I have a theory that after so many years of a PR campaign being run on the internet to make Elon look good to the public, Elon genuinely believes his own PR campaign because the dude has an ego (obviously) and has just been running around assuming he's just automatically cool and awesome at everything he does. The fact that he didn't even get briefed or played a couple of days offline before that stream just goes to show how high he thinks of himself.
The funny thing about this D4 and PoE are such a massive joke once you had pay 2 win (and lot of it) person can steamroll the content even if he does not know shit. Imagine that (and as Musk himself say let's that sink in).
The question is, why?
The risk is greater than the benefit, a billionaire should know this better than anyone
It’s the aspect of feeling too big to fall..you can ask why all day with everything sometimes there’s not gonna be a proper answer..he seeks validation and will lie to get it..that’s it.
What risk? You can scan the comment section here and see all his stans full of copium, trying to explain this shit.
Republicans won the election. He already won.
What risk? The risk people find out that he's actually not spending his time mastering video games? This won't impact him at all.
@@Wookie.Boogie The risk of ruining the perception of those who respect you and they believe in your word.
Elon has no difference than the rich people who climb Mount Everest, the poor guides carry all the gears, and the rich just walk up to the top. They will claim they break some kind record after all.
Elon wasn't trying to impress you guys, he trying to show he better than you, he dominate everything.
He is just a bully at heart, such cartoonish villain.
amen, this is why NEVER WORSHIP these frauds.
I don't know if I'd go that far but you make a great point
Except gamers dont really care. Only the most absolute of sweatlords with no jobs even aim to be number 1 in games. The vast majority of players just play it at their pace instead.
Ahh ching TONG no bully 😂
Which rich people are doing that? Quit making up fake stories to act like a victim, nobody is trying to dominate you by pretending to be good at a game
issue is, this flaw in his character means nothing when it comes to poe, but it means everything when he makes an arms deal.
Because Elon musk been involving with China too much. Picking the face(egoistic) thing from China, all about ranking and one upmanship. Yes, its common in China paying someone to grind the game for you since 90's when mmorpg just started in China. This proof that Elon Musk is a Chinese gamer.
If "Money can't unlame a lame" was a person.
I will never think of him as a genius after this. What an embarrassing way to get exposed.

ELON STOLEN VALOR!!!!
Elon transforming from CEO to his final form.. streamer?
He posted a pic on X that he had been kicked from the game for spamming and he said he wasn't even using a macro. I thought that was strange.
Elon is so rich he doesn't need care about those chaos orbs
Yeah all of these poor losers somehow don’t understand that. Chaos orbs mean nothing to us that are wealthy. Also we actually have the TIME to slowly click each item and drag them into our inventory.
I love that the gaming community is experiencing what engineers feel every time this guy opens his mouth
Nah he's good at rockets
Not even engineers or gamers, but people who have at least one working neuron.
@copyninja8756 you mean, the guys he hired are good at rockets. The amount of times his own engineers had to publicly correct him on his own company is in the double digits
All he had to do was be honest. Incredibly disappointing.
o think he did it to impress his collegues and normal people "look i can do all of my stuff and im a great gamer" which just makes non gamers think that beeing good at videogames has to be very easy if elon can do it...greatly diminishing the reputation of gamers. Ive played video games for over 30 years now very day of my life since im 6. im definitely good -im not great im not the best. i won actual monetary prices in esports way back. i can beat eldening and all souls titles no problem, i ranked in the top 3 pvpers in new world on my server.
Im good - and i understand to be the best in a game you dont just need skill and experience, you have to study the mechanics and systems of the game like its science class, you have to no life the game for a long time....theres lots of boring shit i cant be bothered to do anymore like finding out glitches and looking into code to get how the mechanics actually work cause descriptions in game are often inaccurate and if you are among the best - you did all the theory work outside the game.
And what i see, if you are great at one game...you are likely still pretty good at other games cause you have a base understanding of how games work. If you are great at one shooter this translates into being good at shooters cause you have the basic skills of aiming and dodging. If you are great in PoE id expect you to be good at eldenring cause you have good reaction and can dodge.
So....on the fact alone that Elon sucked at Eldenring i dont believe hes any good at PoE or Diablo 4
I can’t believe people are so gullible that they ever believed Elon
Really? Did you forget who's gonna be the new president very soon? People voted for him. A lot of people are gullible.
Part of his "preparation" for the fake stream, should have been some sort of excuse beforehand, given to him by the "progamer". If he'd have just said at the beginning: "Pardon my gameplay, I'm on an airplane on a laptop, so I don't have my loot filters here, can't see much on the display and have a touchpad instead of mouse. I just want to see the connection via Starlink, which is perfect". Boom. No questions asked. Everything would be covered under that excuse.
He underestimated gamers
How is anybody shocked that Elon is lying?lmfao
I bet he plays but has someone else play for him when he’s not on to level up
Maybe 20 mins. It's clear as day that he didn't play the game a lot because he played like he never touched it while being #1 on the leader board.
@ I mean I wouldn’t know but ya strange thing to lie about I’m sure he will respond to it curious what he will say
Shouldn't we people demand Elon's ban from GGG after this?

He just plays like Asmon does iceborne :/
Too soon. XD
Great Quake players do not tell you they are great Quake players.
I'd duel Elon any day of the week lefthanded
Yeah, you talk about results not some abstract greatness. For instance, I used to play quake2 like 8h a day and the highest I got was to the semi-finals on a local Estonian tournament. Most already knew who the greatest players in each region was and the absolute global top10 were kind of superstars inside the community. When someone tries to tell that they were some unknown secret talent, then they are 100% full of it.
@@dopaminefield There would be a record, exactly, people would remember, and the top dudes were playing all day. I have heard that Elon didn't actuallty take part in the founding of Paypal, he came in later. Also with Tesla, apparently they were already building electric vehicles when he bought them out. I haven't fact cheked, but it's interesting. i always felt he was to eager to please and a bit fake.
I bet he doesn't know difference between yellow and red armour
Well this doesn't really shock me. People like him do not have the time to master a game. They're too busy running businesses and someone else can play the game for him since it's literally not worth his time.
That said, he's not really any different than a typical game whale, except the part where he doesn't have the skill and attention span to back up his p2w money.
Hes that nerd in school who never was cool enough to sit with people during lunch at school but now that he's got money and fame he thinks he's accepted now but he never got the social skills to actually be cool so he's gotta lie and fake stuff like this.

Why not link the original video so I can go find and watch it??

The insecurity though...
Watching a guy watching a guy watching a guy watch a guy 8:35
"Streamerception"
Ha double meaning lets goooooooo
25:46 lol, Elon fakes his gaming. Tim fakes football. So funny
The reason why he claimed he was so good in both Diablo 4 and PoE2 was probably (at least partly) because of the reaction to his Elden Ring build. It was so bad it was fairly plausible that it was actually his own build. He was mocked relentlessly for how bad it was. In his own mind he never understood that he was more relatable that way, or that people thought it was great that he actually played. He only understood the mocking, so then "I'll show myself as a good player then".
Is what I'm assuming (I'm not justifying)
Never really understood how people thought and believed a man that busy could dedicate THAT much time on the game to be at such a high level, when there's streamers doing very long and sometimes 24hr streams to do the same.
Ah, so it's fine that he's a fraud then?

The only thing hes the best in the world at is paying others to do the work he takes credit for
And you would trade your entire life for that skill
@chasedyer5950 absolutely 100% no doubt about it
Well that’s impressive in itself
He is also NOT and engineer whatsoever, he just buys companies that are already huge and appoints himself as the CTO or a "head of engineering". This guy just cares SO much about other people viewing him as "cool" and "smart" it's insane
He never claimed to be an engineer to be fair. He was originally a programmer. He’s done long form discussions on engineering for years where this is discussed.
Equivalent to buy a maxed out wow character and trying to pvp
And getting destroyed by everyone whilst using that gladiator mount lmao. Anyone could tell if they were boosted or not. The gladiator + community is so small, like max 5 k people. If someone bought pvp rewards you can tell by just seeing how they perform in a normal bg or even in a dungeon. Any gladiator with kick off cd in pve since its 100 times easier.
@@mortalux majority of glad players in modern era are boosted or using cheats + addons to get there like that Warrior bozo on twitch that got exposed for 3 months straight
First day in office we Trump to disclose Elon Musk conspiracy theories of his video game playing.
I don‘t get why people asking themselves why he would do that?
Isn’t it obvious that he wants to seem like a pro gamer to "connect with the gaming community" for them to think he‘s "such a cool guy"
R.i.p. to those that act like hes the only one to do this
Markiplier is bad about doing this
