My first instinct was to poke fun but it's actually important to keep breaking this overpaid influencer's false image. He's actively using it to push his harmful agenda.
I can‘t even tell for sure who of the two you’re talking aboout but I agree either way.
Yes
If Musk is ready to lie about his gaming achievements then can we really trust anything that comes out from his mouth.
I mean who cares if Musk is bad at POE2 but the fact that he goes to such lengths to lie about how good he is in a videogame tells a lot about his character and personality.
Have you heard his opinions on chess? He doesn’t play because it’s too easy.
That’s exactly what someone who sucks at it would say.
Wonder how he'd fare against trump at golf.
They would tie. Would take them each 18 strokes for 18 holes I’m sure.
He's a narcissist. Of course he's the best at this and everything else he does. Any evidence to the contrary is division by zero.

I'm honestly shocked that you have to ask someone if you can trust him.
He is without a doubt the least trustworthy person on the entire planet. Even less so than Putin i would say.
It's like what Trump would do if he were younger and cared about video games.
The guy can't miss an opportunity to demonstrate his character and personality. This seems both extraneous and consistent - it's more of the same data. I think we've got his number.
FYI, Vice is now a far-right mouthpiece https://theintercept.com/2024/11/19/vice-news-right-wing-trumpism/
The craziest part of that article is
Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company's (...) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).
So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn't see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.
I shouldn't be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.
Their new podcast style conspiracy videos are just terrible, he comes across as a complete moron.
I feel like I remember them focusing on the sensation around news and not the actual news. Anything news worthy was included as a matter of context.
I felt like Vice was as if Beavis and Butthead were reporters, they went to the heart of a story that wasn't getting much coverage and asked about people's butts.
Shane has intense yuck vibes if you meet him IRL

Actually it’s a dumb point because everyone and their mom already know he got boosted. Both of them should shut up and stop showing their face in public thank you very much.
Such a /technology/ post.
There is technology in it, like a computer game.
Rich people work so hard to deserve their perverse wealth /s The only way they can still blow of steam is by pretending to grind online multiplayer games no actual working person has enough time for.
What kind of flex is this supposed to be?
I dont know path of exile in detail but being a top mmo player has always struck me of an archivement in dedication of time much more then inherent skill. The learned skill the pros have just comes natural with enough dedication.
My general reaction to something like it is not more then . Wow “you” must really enjoy this particular game. Is that reaction really worth cheating for?
Do we think he lacks the general life experience to be able to reflect on the common knowledge that a pro failed more times then the beginner has tried?
I known Elon is neurodivergent if not full on autistic but so am i and i cant make sense of this guys wims.
I think it comes down to what you said, but for the obscenely rich.
A pro has failed more than a beginner has tried. The obscenely rich have been told 'yes' more than the poor have had the opportunity to even ask questions.
You can learn this type of failed behavior just like a bad habit, and boy howdy is he the master of it.
Who the fuck cares. Elon, is average moron playing average game. If this was something important, I could understand, but this is nothing more than attention whoring.
The Worst Person You Know
Asmon isn't even close to to the top of the worst people I know. What even is that title?
Who the hell is Asmon? I thought the headline was referencing Elon.
I think that putting in the hours to be very good at PoE2 is more embarrassing than being an amateur who only played a little bit. I say that as someone who looks forward to playing a lot.
Yeah I've put 97 hours into PoE2... I am far from good..I put nearly 2k in PoE1 and I did fight all the non-uber bosses at some point.
how does elon even have time to play video games if he’s the most busiest and hardcore guy of all time?
How do you prove an account is legit?
The company behind POE can do it easily with IP address.
E.G. one of the bits is that the character was online and playing while he was on a call with several EU heads of state.
The main ones are that for the rank of the character, he would absolutely have to know the game damn near perfectly.
In the video he put out, its very obvious he doesn't know a damn thing about it.
• As in just blindly autoattacking, even when he doesnt have mana to attack
• Not knowing how the map nodes work, going into a run with a full inventory
• Skipping over all drops including a "Chaos Orb". Only picks up maps.
• Claiming how bad his gear based on the equip level alone when its functionally tue best possible gear you can get
• The character's auction house gear sales are classic RMT scammer money trades, where they put horrible gear up for ridiculous prices as a way to move ingame currency around between mules.

The character's auction house gear sales are classic RMT scammer money trades, where they put horrible gear up for ridiculous prices as a way to move ingame currency around between mules.
I thought poe2 didn't have a real AH, just currency market. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say.
Rest of the stuff checks out though.
It doesn't have an auction house that automatically sells gear but, it does a an official website that allows you to list gear for sale. One of "Musk's" listings (Maybe the only? I don't remember) is a garbage crossbow for 18 divine orbs. That's an ass load of currency in SC trade, let alone HC.
