Gamers are accusing Elon Musk of cheating at popular video games by allegedly turning to loopholes and hiring better users to play for him

Pretty on brand for a 13 year old billionaire.

How pathetic do you have to be, he is constantly searching for validation from people, and trying to steal others achievements, the dude has issues.

Dude has issues like National Geographic: large and plentiful.

Idiot has more money than anyone on the planet and this is how he spends his time 🤡

Late night ketamine runs require something to do.

He is unable to git gud at literally anything.

Git adequate would be achievable with a lot of therapy and getting off drugs, but it lacks the same ring
Only git checkout

I love how so many people in the PoE2 community are trying to find a rational explanation for this behavior, like trying to determine what publicity faking being a high level gamer gives.

I'd argue this is the clearest evidence we've received that Elon has narcissistic personality disorder. These are the actions of someone who is suffering from a mental illness. He needs validation from his army of followers for the insane, grandiose claims that he makes, and doesn't feel the need to spend even a modicum of effort on making his lies seem believable.

I think we had pretty clear evidence half a decade ago when Space Karen called a guy trying to rescue a trapped soccer team a pedo, just because his own stupid idea about a robot or whatever got rejected because it was so fucking dumb.
I knew one person who lied so compulsively that it was almost certainly some kind of personality disorder. They would lie about the most mundane things and lie when it would be obvious to everyone they were lying. Not saying Elon doesn't have NPD, but narcissism gets thrown around a lot and it could very well be some other thing or multiple other things accentuated by him being in a position of fame and power. It's got to be made worse by having so many true believers parroting your lies and doing the gymnastics for you.
- My favorite example, that made me realize how much must illness like this sucks, was this hbomberguy video about Tommy Tallarico, the guy behind Video Games Live.
- Access to industrial amounts of drugs doesn't help either. Everyone knows Musk consumes a ton.
- Not every dip shit has NPD and having NPD doesn't necessarily make you a dip shit
  I struggle with empathy and I rather not even be in a group if I'm not actively noticed, I end up doing shit negative or positive to bet attention because it just makes me feel good
  I didn't use to feel this way but I unknowingly acted this way before I learnt I had NPD
  For me it became a cycle of moving communities, making friends real or not, lying or showing off to become prominent then leaving or becoming harsh and unfriendly when I stagnate

Checks out tho, he just buys stuff and takes credit his entire life.

That is just beyond pathetic, honestly.

Of this is abput PoE2, account sharing is against TOS so when they ban his account it wilñ be glorious.

GGG is owned by tencent so it's not like Elon can buy the company lmao.

"Elons Maps" is already memed 24/7 :'D
- Just level 52 too. I don't want a meme though want a ban.
I hope you're right but I fear you underestimate his reach.
- If he is seen in a public event while his account is gaming (easily trackable because anyone can add him to friends and then check where he is if he is online, if the account is changing zones while he is going a public speech...). Then users can report him and if GGG doesn't want to lose all their playerbase goodwill (they live through donations, so, bad idea) they will have to ban him.
  Players in the subreddit are documenting a lot of proof that it's a Chinese player he is account sharing with.
  That account sharing is bannable is not unknown, several streamers have had subathons this December and to help with the stream they asked family members to play instead, as a prwcautipn they asked GGG about this and GGG was pretty strict so family members created their own accounts and all. So, now they can't really backteack on it.
  I've supported the game quite a lot in the past, if Elon isn't banned they can get ready to forget my future money forever.
I really don’t think he cheated. I think it’s much more companies that the developers and/or publishers themselves gave Elon Musk the boost. It’s usually what they try to do with influencers, and in the political world the people doing this even get a special name, "lobbyists".
- No, it's definitely a pain playing for him
  His account is permanently online farming

Bro is literally the definition of an NPC.

Doesn't he have shit to do like find government efficiencies?!? How does he have time to play Path of Exile?

POE is a much better use of his time.
- Filling a void in the ground is a more ecologically friendly use of his time.

I'm laughing at how he keeps dropping that he's playing at maximum difficulty. We get it Xelon, you're the best ~~that money can buy~~*.

If anything, Musk is an inspiration to all of us. It doesn't matter if you've demonstrably been a moron your entire life, you too can succeed with little more than a rich family with connections.

What a fucking loser

Where was he when I was trying to sell my WoW account for WAY more money than makes any sense?!

I could've sold mine for a good chunk of change when I quit way back when, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I still renew now and then, spend a few days setting up addons and catching up on the game just to realise there's no way this fits my schedule anymore so cancel again.
- Yeah, anything other than PvP is massively time consuming. I played to WOTLK then stopped, I came back briefly for Legion because Demon Hunters, but stopped when it got time consuming. I really don't think I could bother with it anymore.
Shit, I have an inactive wow account with a character who got server first sulfuras before achievements existed in the game. How much do you think it could go for?
- $0.05. Maybe less. I'm not a professional.
- Old achievements aren't really gonna bring the value up they're only worth decent cash if the amount is maxed out on recent content/gear etc.
Nono, you don't sell it to him, he creates it and pays you to play and prepare gear so when he logs he can play with baby gloves on.

next he'll want to be a top vtuber or something

Of all Elon musk problems, this is not one I care a single fuck about.

Sure, ita pathetic behavior typical for a narcissist, but then, so is all his behavior.

I'm much more pissed about all the real world harm he has caused already

Why would anyone actually want to play games with him?

I mean if it was actually him I could see the fun in destroying him in a game like cod, apart from that he'd have to pay me

Classic Elon.
