      top 10 player btw…

      what a fucking idiot. no one would be making fun of him if he just said he likes playing video games but as a CEO of multiple companies he’s too busy (lol) to get good at them. just say you suck at video games but love the art form, dumbass. but he can’t because he’s sick in the head and desperately needs approval from other unfuckable shits.

    Reminder: He died to a Tutorial Boss in a game he tried to use a boosted account in to fake being one of the top players only for the devs to go “Wait, aren’t you a top Diablo IV player? Either you have the time management skills of a God and are the top player in multiple games, or you’re bullshitting… and guess what’s the winning one.”

    The bullying was a side piece.

    Usually I’d feel pity for someone being cyberbullied, but Elon told me that’s a sign of weakness, so fuck him.

    Transcript:

    Elon Musk rage quit a livestream of the video game Path of Exile 2 on Saturday night after repeatedly dying while also being ruthlessly cyberbullied in the chat.

    Path of Exile 2 is one of Musk’s favorite games—so much so that he once claimed to be one of the world’s top players in an attempt to boost his gamer cred, before later backtracking and admitting that he had been secretly paying people to level up his account to make him appear more talented at it than he was.

    Nevertheless, while attempting to show off Starlink’s in-flight WiFi capabilities while onboard his private jet over the weekend, Musk streamed himself playing some PoE2 on the hardest difficulty, which was broadcast live on X.

    The DOGE chief was, predictably, terrible at the game, but that was the least of his problems—Less than five minutes into the stream, a player logged on and asked Musk if he could “please jerk off mr trump so he dies of a heart attack.” It only got worse from there.

    For the next hour and a half, Musk sat in stony-faced silence and blasted techno music while dozens of users with names such as ELON_IS_A_PEEDOPHILE and ELON_MUSK_IS_PATHETIC repeatedly spammed the chat to tell him “YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS AND YOU WILL DIE ALONE” and “YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL INSECURE AND IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.”

    Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers YouTube “Elon. It’s me, Ashley St. Claire. I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon,” said an account pretending to be the conservative influencer currently locked in a custody battle with Musk over their five-month-old child, while another said his estranged daughter Vivian “was right” about him being terrible at video games.

    Some streamers attempted to help Musk out by trying to show him how to mute the chat function, while others encouraged people to “Buy TSLA” and thanked him for his work with Starlink and DOGE, but they were drowned out by a cavalcade of abuse from gamers relished the opportunity to give the billionaire a piece of their mind.

    Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers YouTube “There’s a lot of r-----s in the chat,” said Musk at one point, using the r-word slur while a user named HC_John_Wick repeatedly spammed “ELON HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOOK THIS DUMB AND UGLY WHY IS UR TESLA COMPANY FALLING APART AHAAHAAHAAH! WHAT HAPPENED BUDDY?”

    But aside from muting a couple of the loudest trolls after almost an hour of sustained abuse, Musk did little to stop the army of trolls from relentlessly mocking him.

    Eventually, he vanished when his WiFi connection abruptly cut out and ended the stream, which he later deleted from X but was swiftly reuploaded onto YouTube.

    It astounds me that a middle aged man, who can literally afford anything, do anything, go anywhere, is so fragile emotionally that he craves adulation from absolute strangers. Particularly teenage boys, which emotionally, he is also.

    It would be pitiable if we wasn’t such a psychopath.

      As a wise man recently said,

      They tried to rig the game, but you can’t fake influence.

      Money can buy everything but it can’t buy respect. Nobody respects Musk getting to level 90+ in SSF HC PoE2 because he just bought his way there. Nobody respects him on Twitter, because he bought his way there. Nobody respects Tesla, because (say it with me kids) he bought his way there.

      What gets me is that he has the means to become the most beloved man in history pretty much on a whim. I can’t even begin to comprehend the amount of good he could do by dumping half his fortune into good causes, which would still leave him with orders of magnitude more money than he’d need to buy/do whatever the fuck he wants with.

      The attention he craves is right there. But he chooses instead to be a villain. Why?? Be a fucking superhero - even if it’s for completely selfish reasons, humanity won’t give shit.

      I don’t get it.

      If I randomly obtained a billion dollars, let alone hundreds of billions, I’d spend the rest of my life riding a warm-and-fuzzy high. Helping people feels good!

      And let’s be real, it’s ok to be emotional and want attention. That’s human.

      But I’m sure this can be done, and is probably easier to accomplish by not being a nazi, which is the real issue here.
