But if I’m falling behind in work or my own work expectations I can get extremely avoidant about communicating it. I’m not avoidant in any other scenario.

[@RayCromwell]

He's been a fraud his entire life, but most people don't have the expertise in other areas to realize it. The PoE2 pros can instantly recognize BS, but normal people can't. I've been an engineer for 30 years in tech, I can tell you Musk bullsh1ts in the same way on tech subjects. He knows just enough terminology at a high level to make comments that sound legit to people outside the field, but for experts, he sounds like someone who's a n00b. Musk flunked out of 3 different colleges,, never even got his undergraduate degree. Lied about going to Stanford. Claims to be a physicist and engineer, he is neither. He stole his first company's' idea, Zip2, from an employee. PayPal was created by Thiel and Levchin as a startup called Confinity, Musk added nothing to it, they used him just to get his banking license, and fired him as CEO for being awful. He bought his way into Tesla. He claims to be a physicist but his first Space idea was to travel to the Soviet Union and buy used ICBMs to launch a webcam to Mars. Umm, anyone with high school physics can tell you BALLISTIC missiles can't do that, they can't even reach orbital velocity. Musk is a bullsh1tter. In the same way that smurfs have been piloting his gaming and he takes credit for it, the fantastic engineers at Tesla and SpaceX have been "piloting" and rescuing his companies, and he takes credit for it like he's Tony Stark or something. He's a fraud. You see it on Tesla presentations sometime when he's talking about batteries or motors, and the other employees on stage have to interrupt and correct him before he says something stupid. Does he push his people to do great things? Yes. But he also has a serious case of Dunning Kruger, is ignorant but overconfident on many subjects. Cheers to the fantastic engineers and managers at Tesla and SpaceX who make the real magic happen. Credit to Musk for betting his money on it. But gamer/physics/math/engineering genius he is not.

The reason why he claimed he was so good in both Diablo 4 and PoE2 was probably (at least partly) because of the reaction to his Elden Ring build. It was so bad it was fairly plausible that it was actually his own build. He was mocked relentlessly for how bad it was. In his own mind he never understood that he was more relatable that way, or that people thought it was great that he actually played. He only understood the mocking, so then "I'll show myself as a good player then". Is what I'm assuming (I'm not justifying)

[@trinketmage8145]

And now he'll be mocked forever as a cheater, which is worse.

[@palehorseriderx]

Given the kind of person he is, it's probably an accurate assumption. It's obvious he has a massive inferiority complex and a lot of insecurities, so any mocking would result in him probably hiring a bunch of nolifers to grind on an account that he can show off as 'his'. Which is what most likely happened here. The problem is Elon is such a big personality, the public can't simply choose to stop giving him attention, which only makes things worse.

He is no genius engineer, starship is a complete failure, they were supposed to be on the moon already this year and they have had to redesign it three times now. He lied about full self-driving since 2017 when he said it was perfect. He went to court for it they literally use this as their defense:, no investor in their right mind would believe corporate puffery like that. Look at his solar company, nothing but lies. His whole genius CEO persona is a PR campaign, just like this cheating scandal is. The guy is 100 percent fake.

[@Stef3m]

I agree that most people have a distorted idea of him and yes, he lied (he do this a lot) on self-driving capability and Tesla marketed it in an irresponsible way, he (among others) wanted to use only a single camera sensor for cost reason which one must be insane or completely careless to, no one with an engineer mindset would do that, only a corporate mindset will. But he is a good investor and when engineers asked him to go away and let them work he actually did it (this is reported to have happened in two of his company), I'm giving credit for that although I don't know where Spacex would be now without US subsidies or how much time will really need to recover from all the money spent on it.

With PoE2, Elon hasn't been streaming (probably too busy with politics), so you wouldn't have had a bunch of fanboys give him all the items.

It's a metaphor. Elon didn't start LIFE at level one, why do people believe he would take the trouble to start at level one in a game? That's for wagers and serfs. Do you have any idea how much harder it is to get form level 1 to 97 without help or cheating? It much easier to start at level 97. Some people's parents, grandparents, and in some cases great grandparents, put them in the position to start the game at level 90 or 96 at birth. Some people start at level 1 but their character is starts of with high charisma, good looking with a great voice, and has a high IQ, and that helps them move fast through the levels. But a lot had great grandparents and parents that played the game really well, and handed the controller to their kids at level 96. This is the way life works.

He’s been taking credit for other people’s work his entire life. There’s a reason he’s the world’s richest man, because he’s a terrible person. I assure you that you have nothing in common with him, and if you do, if you’re as insecure as he is, that doesn’t automatically mean that you’ll be a billionaire one day. Please stop caping for these people. There’s nothing masculine about it. There’s nothing impressive about it. Value yourself and how you can make the lives of those around you better. Elon should not be someone you look up to. This is part of growing up.

[@SemiEssessi]

​@@Chiefs_fan1595 Respectfully I disagree with some of what you said. He got some impressive money from a tech buyout in the late 90s and then put it to good use to build himself up to where he is now. Being a terrible person hasn't made him rich, but being successful and rich has given him leeway to become egregiously dishonest and not suffer for it or learn lessons from it. I can assure you from personal experiences, the three opportunities I had for a good shot at piles of money were missed due to personal failings... in one case, one lie I told at a low point in my life, which harmed someone else. Nothing to do with professional competence. Having pressure from that to improve those things about myself has been positive.

[@SemiEssessi]

@@Chiefs_fan1595 I think you have it backwards, he gets away with lying because of his success, it didn't make the success. This kind of behaviour can ruin your chances at success. Take it from someone who missed out on Google money because I lied once in a way that harmed someone when I was at a low point in my life.

@@jsedge2473 No I don't think many people would because they aren't THAT insecure about their achievements, it's almost as though he feels like he hasn't actually achieved anything on his own and has to compensate that by pretending to have achieved something by himself in a completely different sphere. Elon is as rich as he is today because he met the right people, had the funds to get his businesses started and then made everyone under him work their asses off to achieve HIS goals.

[@paskowitz]

​@@jsedge2473A bold assumption. The truth is any well-adjusted billionaire would not be spending their time lying about such inconsequential things unless they were literally mentally unstable and this was some type of compulsion that they could not control.

Gamers need to provide relatable context and analogy to people outside the niche POE community.

Elon Musk is a fraud - not just in terms of gaming, but in general. Anything of significant value he has ever claimed to have done is either no true at all, or heavily distorted from what actually happened to make him look impressive.

[@aetherblackbolt1301]

Youve already lost people by bringing up another video game. An even simpler analogy is if someone claims to be a world class driver, and has achieved times on specific courses with a specific car, but they don't know how to turn on the ignition, they call the wheels "4 things", and they can't name specific corners or bends of the course that are infamous.

Evidence of Account Boosting: Lack of Game Mechanics Knowledge: During streams, Musk was observed struggling with basic gameplay mechanics, like inventory management and understanding map nodes, which are essential for high-level play, particularly in hardcore mode where one mistake can lead to permanent character death. This has led many to believe he wasn't the one who leveled the character. Inventory and Loot Management: Musk's character was seen with a full inventory attempting to pick up items without space, and notably without a loot filter, which is almost standard for high-level players to manage drops efficiently. This behavior suggests unfamiliarity with advanced gameplay strategies. Named Stash Tabs: A stash tab labeled "Elon's map" was noted, which is unusual for someone playing their own account, suggesting that another player might have curated this for him. Technical and Temporal Anomalies: Server Discrepancies: There were mentions of Musk playing on servers not matching his location, like using a Hong Kong server while streaming from the US, which hints at account sharing or boosting from a different location. Time Constraints: Given Musk's extensive commitments across multiple businesses and public roles, the sheer amount of time required to achieve such high levels in a complex game like Path of Exile 2 on hardcore mode has been questioned. The community suggests it's unlikely he personally invested the hundreds of hours needed. Community and Streamer Reactions: Streamer Analysis: Notable Path of Exile streamers and content creators have criticized Musk's gameplay, pointing out numerous mistakes not expected from someone at that level in the game. They've suggested that his account might have been boosted by others. Social Media Sentiment: Posts on platforms like X have echoed similar sentiments, with users mocking Musk's gameplay abilities and suggesting account boosting or sharing. Conclusion on Gameplay: While Musk has publicly acknowledged playing the game, the consensus among hardcore players and observers is that his character's level and gear were likely the result of someone else's gameplay, either through account boosting or sharing, given the observed gameplay deficiencies and the time commitment required. This situation reflects broader discussions in the gaming community about transparency, skill, and the ethics of account boosting or sharing in competitive games. However, without direct confirmation from Musk or official statements from Grinding Gear Games, these remain speculations based on observed behaviors and anomalies in gameplay.

[@DadOM8999]

Did you use gork for this? Lol I asked gork and this is what I got. The question of whether Elon Musk is actually playing Diablo 4 has been a topic of discussion, given his high-profile status and numerous business commitments. Here's a nuanced look at the situation based on available information: Public Statements and Gameplay Evidence: Elon Musk has publicly claimed to be one of the top players of Diablo 4, specifically mentioning on social media and in interviews like his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience that he is among the top 20 players globally. There are videos shared by Musk himself or reported on platforms like X where he is seen playing the game, including streams and clips of him clearing high-level dungeons like Pit 150. These actions suggest he is indeed playing the game. Skepticism and Theories: However, skepticism persists due to the time commitment required to achieve such rankings. Some speculate that Musk might be employing others to play on his behalf, given his busy schedule. There have been discussions around the use of glitches or purchasing in-game advantages, although no concrete evidence supports these claims. The gaming community has noted that while Musk might be playing, the extent of his personal involvement in reaching such high ranks could be exaggerated or facilitated by others. Community and Media Reactions: The gaming community's response has been mixed. Some gamers are impressed by Musk's claimed achievements, while others are skeptical about how a person with his level of responsibility could find the time to play so extensively. Discussions on platforms like Reddit and reports from various gaming news outlets have highlighted both admiration for Musk's dedication to gaming and doubts about the authenticity of his achievements. Conclusion: While there is evidence that Elon Musk is playing Diablo 4, the extent to which he personally achieves these high rankings versus possible assistance or exploitation of game mechanics remains a point of debate. The truth likely lies somewhere between Musk being an active player with genuine skill and possibly leveraging his resources to enhance his gameplay experience. In summary, Musk is indeed playing Diablo 4, but the community's skepticism about the methods behind his in-game success reflects broader questions about privilege, time management, and the integrity of competitive gaming achievements in the context of someone with Musk's resources and influence.

@sipjedekat8525 when the phenomenon started, they did. They claimed it was them that made the ranks. Until of course people called them out and they couldn't keep up the facade anymore. Thereafter, some of them came clean but chalked the whole event as something only rich people can do/allowed to do. Alot of gaming folks saw that as a bad practice and complained to the game companies but they didn't care, and those that did care were either forced to quit or were silenced. (Stocks, shares were bought by the millionaires, lots of money also funneled in with microtransactions as well) So the upper management was making good bank and protected the millionaires/shareholders interests. With time this led to gig works where you can literally make money by playing games for affluent individuals. Elon has visited China multiple times and are familiar with their societal infrastructure so I'm pretty sure he has folks playing his games for him and from time to time im quite sure play the games himself.
