It isn’t a great point.
Sure, what Musk did only further proves what a pathetic loser he is, but it’s the equivalent of “My girlfriend goes to another school, you haven’t met her”. It isn’t illegal or anything, it’s attempted clout chasing that blew up in his face… it’s just sad.
Fuck, I hate hearing about these people.
I think I’m just gonna ignore you. Sorry OP.
If Musk is ready to lie about his gaming achievements then can we really trust anything that comes out from his mouth.
I mean who cares if Musk is bad at POE2 but the fact that he goes to such lengths to lie about how good he is in a videogame tells a lot about his character and personality.
Have you heard his opinions on chess? He doesn’t play because it’s too easy.
That’s exactly what someone who sucks at it would say.
Wonder how he’d fare against trump at golf.
They would tie. Would take them each 18 strokes for 18 holes I’m sure.
Oh there would be plenty of strokes, I’ll grant you that.
Fucking gold
They’d tie with a perfect score of -18, having somehow gotten a hole in one each course without even touching a club!
That’s not how golf works but I like where your head is at.
I know it isn’t, that was the joke, they scored an impossible score by somehow managing the get the ball in the hole with less than 0 swings.
He’s a narcissist. Of course he’s the best at this and everything else he does. Any evidence to the contrary is division by zero.
narcissism is a lack of empathy and conpassion. it is not thinking you are better than others.
An example of how a narcissist would think would be “I barely know anything about this subject and you know even less than I do so you must be a fucking idiot if you know less than my dumb ass”
Lack of empathy is a sign of narcissism sure, but so is a pathological need for praise and to feel superior to others.
Yes and that need stems from deep insecurity. Narcissists are insecure, but don’t show it. Their whole superiority act is just that, an act. Very convincing, because it’s what they -want- to be, and when people praise them it’s like a confirmation. They’re addicted to it. That’s why they lash out at anyone who sees through it. When you praise them, they’ll treat you like the best friend/lover they’ve ever had, but once you take away the praise… well they become a nightmare.
See it like this: nobody who is actually self-confident needs to get a constant stream of praise to be happy.
Praise yes but not the feeling of superiority to others as NPD comes from self-loathing.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. You’re right.
Happens often here.
I’m honestly shocked that you have to ask someone if you can trust him.
He is without a doubt the least trustworthy person on the entire planet. Even less so than Putin i would say.
Musk has his loyal fanbase who have been impressed by his achievements with Paypal, Tesla and SpaceX.
Honestly he seemed all right before 2020’s but after that he’s slowly become more and more radicalized.Fortunately his behaviour is alienating a lot of his fanbase, unfortunately they’re getting replaced by more far right fans.
He made a post using command line lingo too, but anyone with even basic knowledge of those commands can tell you that both the syntax and the way he alludes to them are wrong.
It’s the equivalent of slinging a guitar in a picture to look cool but pressing the side with the strings against your belly.
Isn’t that suggesting he has the wokemind virus? Lol
yes
It’s like what Trump would do if he were younger and cared about video games.
The guy can’t miss an opportunity to demonstrate his character and personality. This seems both extraneous and consistent - it’s more of the same data. I think we’ve got his number.
I bet if Musk played DBD he’d be the first one on the damn hook, every, fucking, time.
My first instinct was to poke fun but it’s actually important to keep breaking this overpaid influencer’s false image. He’s actively using it to push his harmful agenda.
I can‘t even tell for sure who of the two you’re talking aboout but I agree either way.
Yes

Have you not noticed any of the many things Musk has said and done to suppress things like civil and worker’s rights? How he’s sucking Trump’s cock so he can dictate policy to the country? How he turned Twitter into an actual Nazi mouthpiece? That’s what he’s using his image to try to push.
Among other things:
- anti workers rights
- anti immigrant
- with exceptions for his own businesses
- anti safety nets
- pro fascist
- he’s began propping up Reform in UK and AfD in Germany
- pro corporate
Basically your bog-standard right-wing corporate fascist grab bag. He’s using his platforms (in all meaning of the word) to push that internationally.
Check the first comment on this turd nugget from last week: https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1877066245192794146
Zack is one of my favorite (if not THE favorite) streamer in the world.
Rather than taking the time to try and research Elon, it’s probably faster to just read the Wikipedia entries on the German Nazi party and apartheid South Africa. That should give you a pretty good idea of what he believes and is pushing.
FYI, Vice is now a far-right mouthpiece https://theintercept.com/2024/11/19/vice-news-right-wing-trumpism/
The craziest part of that article is
Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company’s (…) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).
So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn’t see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.
I shouldn’t be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.
I feel like I remember them focusing on the sensation around news and not the actual news. Anything news worthy was included as a matter of context.
I felt like Vice was as if Beavis and Butthead were reporters, they went to the heart of a story that wasn’t getting much coverage and asked about people’s butts.
Shane has intense yuck vibes if you meet him IRL
Not a surprise, dude gives off those vibes in videos as well.
Some of us remember when Vice was a mean-spirited, local magazine that made fun of the way New Yorkers dressed.
Not really surprising that those people turned out to be scumbags.
I mostly remember it as reporting abput random ass topics “transsexual ketamine dealers of Uruguay” type of stuff.
but the tolerent left told me asmon is far right
Such a /technology/ post.
There is technology in it, like a computer game.
It’s got Elon, so it must be Technology. ;)
He invented technology
Actually it’s a dumb point because everyone and their mom already know he got boosted. Both of them should shut up and stop showing their face in public thank you very much.
I want the account sharer banned though.
Both of these people could fall off a cliff in a burning Tesla and nothing of value would be lost.
I’d mourn the lithium.
That’s how you get forest fires though.
There are plenty of cliffs in deserts :)
More than there already are?
Hey, don’t disregard the value of scrap metal!
The scrap metal was MADE in the event!
In an interesting plot twist, it would actually be a net positive for said Tesla brand in the long run, too.
Who the fuck cares. Elon, is average moron playing average game. If this was something important, I could understand, but this is nothing more than attention whoring.
The Worst Person You Know
Asmon isn’t even close to to the top of the worst people I know. What even is that title?
Who the hell is Asmon? I thought the headline was referencing Elon.
It’s Asmongold. He’s a relatively popular gaming streamer who also does commentary but some of his political opinions have been a bit questionable.
Ah alright, I’ve yet to watch a single streamer.
Keep doing that tbh
It’s a reference to an Onion headline
The funniest part to me is that the wealthiest person in the world is playing a f2p game.
It’s paid early access. Everything is wiped once it’s fully released, then its f2p.
Oh I see, this is PoE2, for whatever reason I missed the “2”, thought we were talking about the first one. My bad.
Yeah, what a joke. Especially when Musk is right there in the headline 😞.
some random twitch streamer is worse than any person I’ve ever heard of. Wow what’d they do! It’s some video game leaderboard bullshit drama about Musk.
Lol fuckin quality journalism vice. Must be a really eventful news day.
Oh, thank you, Vice! I didn’t know Asmongold was worse than Hitler.
Garbage journalism what a joke. Fuck, I still remember when Vice was relevant and renowned for the work.
He’s already demonstrated first hand he doesn’t know how to navigate the UI for someone who has invested time to be a top player. It’s obvious to anyone that’s spent more than a couple days in any game.
I like to think this is the start of something important, Musks gaming account, realising that we can seriously sidetrack Trump by calling him the vice president and weird. The public is learning how to enact our own kind of political manipulation.
I think that putting in the hours to be very good at PoE2 is more embarrassing than being an amateur who only played a little bit. I say that as someone who looks forward to playing a lot.
Yeah I’ve put 97 hours into PoE2… I am far from good…I put nearly 2k in PoE1 and I did fight all the non-uber bosses at some point.
Isn’t it weird that he’s the top player in PoE2 AND Diablo IV?
Plus a highly involved, successful CEO for multiple companies! I believe any of that is true as much as I believe he’s a free speech absolutist.
Do you think he pays Chinese teenagers to run his companies
I wouldn’t be surprised given the decisions he has made at Tesla alone.
I would be
Chinese teenagers would be much more competent at running tech companies
