Elon Musk just added another chapter to his Twitter (sorry, X) chronicles, and this time, it’s about his supposed gaming prowess in Path of Exile 2. Spoiler alert: things did not go well for the billionaire tech mogul. From bold claims of being a top-50 player to leaking DMs in a fit of gamer rage, here’s a hilarious play-by-play of the chaos.
Elon Musk’s Bold Claim: Top 50 Hardcore Player?
In an eyebrow-raising tweet, Elon Musk proudly declared that he had a character ranked in the top 50 of Path of Exile 2’s brutal Hardcore Mode. For non-gamers: Hardcore Mode means you get one life—die, and it’s game over. Naturally, the gaming community, skeptical as always, raised their virtual pitchforks.
The “Skill” Livestream That Exposed It All
Musk decided to silence the doubters with a livestream, but it backfired spectacularly. Instead of showing off killer moves, he struggled with basic game mechanics and seemed genuinely confused by the inventory screen. The chat erupted with memes faster than a boss fight can go south.
Influencers Call Foul: Enter Asmongold
Popular streamer Asmongold led the charge, suggesting that Musk might’ve hired someone for “account boosting”—paying pros to play for him. Others, like Kripparrian and Quin69, echoed the sentiment, highlighting Musk’s lack of knowledge about progression systems.
The DM Drama: Musk Goes Full Send
Irritated by the accusations, Musk slid into Asmongold’s DMs, labeling him “bad at video games.” But instead of cooling things down, Musk escalated the feud by leaking their private conversations on X. His attempt to discredit Asmongold backfired, with fans siding with the streamer and mocking Musk for his lack of chill.
Abuse of Power? The Fallout
Musk didn’t stop there. He unfollowed Asmongold and stripped him of his verification badge—a move many saw as petty. Gamers united in calling out the billionaire for abusing his power as X’s owner. The hashtag #MuskedUp began trending, cementing this saga as another unforgettable Musk moment.
The Aftermath: Musk vs. Gamers
While Musk’s claims of gaming glory are now in tatters, one thing is clear: he knows how to stir up the internet. Whether this was a genuine blunder or a 4D chess move to promote X, the gaming world is still buzzing with laughter.
