Elon Musk, claiming to be a top-tier video game player, faced backlash after suspicions arose about boosting his accounts. Despite commendable in-game accomplishments, gamers dissected his gameplay and noticed discrepancies.
Online users shared videos showing Musk twice extending his hand outward from his heart but omitted his words explaining the gesture.
Gaming is a big part of the billionaire’s public persona. But other players are questioning whether he has the time or the skill to be as accomplished as he claims.
Other potential buyers include the philanthropist Frank Mccourt ’s Project Liberty, which is raising capital to make a bid for TikTok in order to “rearchitect the platform” and protect user data. McCourt is a billionaire who previously owned the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team. The project is supported by the social psychologist Jonathan Haidt.
In November of this year Musk started bragging more. He said in a podcast that he was one of the top 20 players in the world at Diablo IV, a recently released action role-playing game set in a fictional realm where players advance by slaying demons. Weeks later, he flaunted his progress in another new game, Path of Exile 2.
Elon Musk has confirmed that he is indeed a cheater in both Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2, and he will not apologise.
Elon Musk can try to trick gamers, to argue with them, to post their DMs against his own Terms of Service. But more than liberals and Tesla-haters and all other groups he’s in conflict with, this is one battle he’s never going to win.
Elon Musk is currently in the midst of a feud with Twitch streamer Asmongold, after he was accused of boosting his ‘Path of Exile 2’ account.
Content creator Jimmy Donaldson, known on the Internet as MrBeast, has made it clear he is interested in buying TikTok. Donaldson has the most subscribers of any user on YouTube— over 340 million—and boasts over 113 million TikTok followers.
Asmongold says Elon Musk crossed a line claiming that he isn’t good at video games as the Twitch streamer feuds with the world’s richest man.
LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman has been immersed in Silicon Valley since his August 1967 birth in Palo Alto, California, in the shadow of Stanford University, where he and fellow technology luminary Peter Thiel became friends as college students during the 1980s.
Musk claims it will be possible to travel to anywhere on Earth within an hour. His rocket company, SpaceX, has given examples such as New York to Paris in 30 minutes and London to Hong Kong in 34 minutes. In response to a post about it on his X platform, Musk responded: “This is now possible.”
