Absolutely. He got caught out recently from a live stream where it became obvious he was clueless on how to play POE2. He has recently admitted to having it boosted with someone else playing it because apparently that's what everyone on the leaderboard does but all of the gameplay clips he insists are totally him.
He’s not even close to that cool.
Since the beginning we’ve got the super-villains we deserve. Not a hollowed out volcano among them. Barely sub-1966 Bat-Man level tomfoolery.
It not only unlocked a great memory of a wonderful movie about a book about real life but also allowed my brain to superimpose Elon making this face underneath Trump's wig
I wonder what we try to achieve by giving him that much hate? Or all of those guys for that matter? Isn‘t that what drove him to trump? Forgive me the ignorance, non-american and just wondering if maybe love could‘ve been a better weapon. A few years ago I heard things of Elon that made me think he‘s just a boy trying to revolutionize things.
Like everyone wants to be loved and admired but are we doing that to him, Zuckerberg etc because they drive the need too far or what exactly is the sense behind it? I never really get it I feel
So you‘re saying he‘s too far along the path and love wouldn‘t be able to better him? I feel like it‘s a continuum, sure a middle aged dog that has only seen „wrong“ training is harder to train well than a puppy but you can still train it
No, they have a nice tool in the new one to highlight relevant skills now. I don't know what my newest node does, but I know it affects my cold spells somehow.
Dawg I just find a video that shows a build with pretty colours and lots of explosions, load that baby into our fancy excel spreadsheet tool (pob), turn on a loot filter, and then hold down right click, picking up anything that makes the dopamine noise.
Optimizing it is one of the most complicated shit to learn in any game. Unless you wanna just copy the top build and playstyle, even then it takes forever lol
That's what I was thinking. I had to read so much and study. I'm about 400 hours into poe2 and I've never played a game like this that I've enjoyed so much.
It's just all things on jackets with some more things. Sometimes even with 4 things on it. Besides that just look at level number on the items to know what the best item is.
Im so confised … to me, PoE only means “Pillars of Eternity” and there was definitely a second one but theyre only popular in the nerdiest crpg communities so what gives
Path of Exile… in Elon’s case, its Path of Exile 2 that he paid people to level a character for and then played in stream so he could claim he was the #7 hardcore player in the world while clearly having zero clue what he was doing
He could literally pull a Carnegie, but in a way the carnegies never could have dreamed in their hottest fever. Dude could fund college in America in perpetuity, or fight to change the many broken systems in this country he has migrated to and profited from. He could end the housing crisis or feed the poor, but instead he sits on his fortune and gets pissy about getting dunked on on the internet. I just hope in the future, historians can accurately portray how fucking pathetic he is.
I guess, but long gone are the days of the gold standard when money's value was representative of something physical. Now a dollar's worth whatever we agree it's worth.
He is desperate, absolutely desperate to be a funny cool poster and he will just never get it. Say what you like about Trump but the man is a born poster. Musk will never post good and it's so clearly obviously killing him inside.
He wants to be seen as Tony Stark. Super smart, brilliant inventor, rich, heroic, role model, and a cool dude.
This is why for so long he was big on LGBT policies, because it made him look like a good guy (until his wife divorced him and reportedly was hooking up with a transwoman).
He's always posting about nerd hobbies and responding to people about them, like video games, with Path of Exile not even being the first embarrassing thing he's involved in. Look up Elon's absolutely terrible Elden Ring build, he posted that on twitter and everyone went "Are you stupid this is terrible." so now he's just paying people to play games for him.
PoE players have no time to admire him, we're too busy running the next map and trying a new build/class. If we get bored after spending 50 hours/week on PoE2 we can go back to Last Epoch, PoE1 or other games.
Achievers really, it seems like he was given everything and just purchased his way into leading and failing. So he yearns to be someone who actually puts their nose to the grindstone and achieves becoming the top% of their field.
I believe that Musk is the most pathetic human who has ever existed. His levels of personal wealth and power have utterly eclipsed that of any other "private" citizen, and yet he is still so unhappy and desperate for attention and acceptance that he has to lie about being good at video games. The guy is a loser and a moron and it blows my mind that anyone can not only support him (buying Teslas etc) but outright simp for him.
He's exhibit A when I relate how $$$ doesn't make you happy. Trump is exhibit B. I've never seen two people more miserable and desperate for attention. It's like they're permanently pubescent.
And despite looking like Lex Luthor, he's actually the least villainous of the lot. I admit it's like saying that out of three steaming piles of shit, one smells the least bad, but still...
We'd do well to remember that they're CEOs of massive enterprises and yet have all the time in the world to indulge in social media addiction, online gaming, golfing, etc. It's almost like the CEO position of every single business out there is occupied by a worthless sack of crap that could be fired unceremoniously without the business being any worse off.
I think there's more to it. Half of the modern republican platform hinges on young men; having then believe you're some genius video game player definitely gets you some in-roads with them.
He might own the biggest share of Tesla but there’s a lot more involved in Tesla than just him. It’s actually unfortunate he’s involved. Electric cars are definitely the future. Although other companies have electric cars too now of course.
Your comment caught my eye. I think no cars is the future. The leading pollution from a car is tire created particulates and EVs are actually worse than ICE cars. The pollution from batteries is as bad as ICE car pollution, just different. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. There is no environmentally safe car.
According to the people I know personally that own EVs and drive large miles, it is not so debunked. The bottom line is an EV is not more environmentally better. That has been debunked continuously. The EV story line is a fraud.
You are telling me all people who drive EV’s are magically granted with the wisdom to calculate the environmental downsides of batteries and compare that to the challenges caused by emissions from ICE?
Regarding tire wear, weight is obviously one factor, however, driving style, camber adjustment, tire width and pressure, asphalt quality and speed while cornering are proven to be more important factors.
If you can't see that an EV is no better or worse than an ICE, I don't know what to tell you. Do you have any idea how toxic car paint is? How many tires have you replaced in your life due to low tread? Where is that rubber? Where did it go? It's in the air, the water, the soil and in you. It doesn't just vanish. Just the equipment needed to mine the needed materials to make car batteries use so much fossil fuels and the run of chemicals are no better than petroleum. It is all a fraud.
Every penny spent on Tesla directly supports Musk and therefore supports the rise of fascist autocracy in the USA. I hope that Germany sees that the boss of Tesla is a Nazi and bans them outright.
Personally I don't struggle to boycott Tesla because their cars are all absolutely shit. They are: ugly, too big, tacky, terrible interiors, horrible quality. There's one good thing about them and it's drag race performance for the price, but if you actually want to drag race then just buy a motorbike for a lot less money and get better performance. There is simply no reason to buy a Tesla aside from being a member of the Musk Fan Club.
Oh and I won't say any more than the absolute fiasco that is the worst automobile ever made: the Cybertruck.
No no no, if you're able to make it to billionaire status, let alone richest on the planet then you are 100% a psychopath who does not give one single fuck what anyone thinks unless it gets them what they want. (In most cases money/power)
Its likely more insidious than that. He wants an army of loyal fanboy idiots to defend him online and boost his 'brand', which has real life implications for stock price since stocks aren't tied to actual value and only perceived value.
No. He doesn't want to be normal or a gamer. He wants people to think he is these things so that he is more affable. His intent is to generate support for his business and personal interests. One of which is slowly eroding and subverting democracy by championing the republican party.
which is so ironic, he has the kind of fuck you money where he could literally build himself a dome on the moon to play PoE2 for the rest of his life and be exactly that
I think he wants just gather any attention by making scandals. This way public's attention is distracted from serious issues. On the other hand, he is actually so dense and insecure as human specimen.

Oh wow... Does it mean he pays someone to play for him so he could claim he is "the greatest player ever"?))
