Elon Musk shows off while playing games and is immediately exposed
If Elon Musk were to show off his gaming progress to his fans and make mistakes in the process, all would be well. But he pretends to be a top player in "Path of Exile 2". However, he makes absolute rookie mistakes. His strange show was commented on by other players.
A few days ago, Musk played the action role-playing game "PoE2" in a livestream. He cleared several hardcore maps and showed off his character's superior equipment, which is one of the best in the world at level 95.
Elon Musk plays hardcore and behaves like a beginner
Musk's stream shows that he hasn't spent much time learning the mechanics of PoE2. Here you can watch a summary of the stream including reactions from the "PoE2" streamer Quin69TV:
Musk does not recognise important items, does not use time-saving functions and makes unnecessary mistakes in combat - these are all signs that he has only spent a few hours in the game and lacks routine with the interface. User Paolini_18 comments on YouTube: "This is comparable to the seventh best racing driver in the world not knowing how to use a car clutch - yes, it's SO absurd."
Account sharing for a high-level character
In the stream, Musk also presents his character's equipment. He is modest about it: his equipment could be improved, but overall it is quite good. He also explains why he is not entirely satisfied. At level 90+, he wears equipment whose minimum level is significantly lower. One of his rings, for example, only requires level 48, but the minimum level says nothing about the quality of the items.
He justifies his "improvable" equipment by saying that it is very difficult to find better equipment on Hardcore. But Musk's character wears items that can only be obtained from the most difficult bosses on the highest difficulty level.
In addition to the time involved, Musk's lack of knowledge about the equipment also suggests that he didn't play his character himself. The whole stream looks as if he is logging into another gamer's account - contrary to his statement. Asmongold, one of the biggest Twitch streamers in the world, also doubts Musk's gaming success. Why the Tesla owner, who otherwise has many notable achievements in his life, is doing this remains a mystery.
Supplement: The fact that Musk's character died at level 97 shows that even high-quality equipment cannot compensate for a lack of gaming experience. This dropped him out of the hardcore league
Musk is allegedly also a "Diablo 4" pro
A few months ago, during a podcast with Joe Rogan, Musk answered in the affirmative when asked if he was one of the 20 best "Diablo 4" players in the world
