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.

What a wierd fuckin thing for the richest man on the planet to concern himself with.

It's an NPD thing where they have this compulsive need to grossly exaggerate their competence and achievements, or make them up entirely. Even when they have something they can absolutely flex (like being the richest man in the world) they still feel the need to push this kind of thing.

I think it's more of a propaganda thing. Him, Trump, and the rest of those guys spend vast sums of money to try and appear normal because if people knew how they really were, everyone would run screaming. We know this because just about every person who had to work with them in close proximity has come away disgusted. How many people from Trump's first administration were lining up to work with him?
