of course, but he pretends to be very skilled at this game and has hired people to fake it for him….
now, he’s so narcissistic that he still thought he could livestream himself playing, and people would see how good he is… then he died to a tutorial boss….
the point is he’s a fraud at every level, and this is some juicy undeniable proof.
it’s hard to really prove he’s a fraud at spacex and tesla and pretending to be some super genius, but proving he’s even a fraud at stupid video games proves he’s probably a fraud in everything else.
if he actually had any real skill at anything, he wouldn’t need to fake being a good gamer.
i suck at video games all the time, and i enjoy it… but i never pretend like im the best gamer ever.
btw, he also called chess too simple…

I mean, even this isn’t very hard. My relative used to work at SpaceX, and it’s an open secret that the company has a team of people dedicated to keeping Elon away from the engineers. Like as soon as he steps out of his office, there are multiple people whose sole job is to push paperwork and “problems” (read: “literally just basic decisions that anyone in middle management could make”) in front of him to keep him completely distracted with inane and inconsequential things, while also making him feel like a big important decision maker.
All so he doesn’t have time to wander down towards the engineers. Because if he does get to the engineers, he’ll inevitably try to one-up them with some “why are we doing it this way that I’m too dumb to understand? I don’t like that I can’t understand it. We should do it this dumb way instead” decree. And now the entire company is going to grind to a halt until the engineers can redesign the entire system to fit his new dumb design.
Like he desperately wants to fit in with the engineers, but the only way he knows how is to try and flex his (nonexistent) technical expertise. So the company has hired people specifically to prevent that scenario from ever happening.
while i believe all of this, it’s not super easy to prove.
a livestream fail is undeniable, complete proof that he’s a fraud in video games….
and it does lend credence to the idea that he’s a fraud in everything else.
If Dunning-Kruger could be crystallized into a single sentence. The fucking moron probably memorized how each piece is allowed to move and thought that was all there was to it.
I wanna see Elon play a grandmaster and get absolutely memed on. The gulf between the average person and a top tier chess player is probably 10x greater than the gulf between the average person and a top tier gamer, in any video game. Chess just has such a large player base and literally centuries of tactical/strategic development, few games can even claim to have fostered the level of expertise required to be a top player.
Side note: chess skull is often correlated with intelligence. There might be something there, but at the top levels it’s really just about having played thousands and thousands of games and recognizing patterns between is how often you’ve played. Perhaps some genetal intelligence translates well to chess, but little chess skill translates to general intelligence.
To quote Paul Morphy, who was a worldwide chess champion at 21 years old but retired at 22: “The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.”
He’s so smart he thinks 20 moves ahead of his opponent 5 opponents from now before this opponent even knows they are scheduled to play. Thus he’s already won and there is no point scheduling the chess match.
While playing games is bad. Lets not forget this guy believes that this is all a simulation, like its all one big fucking game to him. He is out of touch and seems to have a latency akin to Starlink connections.
I don’t want to ruin it for you, but all rich at 1 billion level and above, or people with power believe that life is a game, and all others exist just to serve them. Believing that the world is a simulation does not make you an arrogant fascist SOB.
100%, but this is also kind of hilarious after he literally compared himself to Neo because he’s so good at Diablo 4, before finally admitting months later that he paid to boost his account.
It’s not about the game, it just shows how much of a pathetic liar he is. And the length he goes to lie about something stupid like playing video games just shows how far he would go for his actual lies and just shows even more what kind of a sad pathetic human being he is.
It’s not that he’s bad at games, it’s that he used illegal methods to cheat his way into being one of the Top Diablo IV and POE 2 players, and when the devs of the latter called bullshit (Blizzard being the old men who yell at clouds didn’t because they thought being associated with Elon was a positive thing) so he played on a new account to “Prove” he was “Just that good”
And basically did the Action RPG equivilent of dying to the first Goomba in Super Mario Bros.’ World 1-1 at a live convention where your speedrunning skills are the main attraction
Sucking at games is not bad. Fucking human lives, exploiting countries, being a Billionaire and a fucking Nazi, is.

How couod a 22 year know what signals a wasted life?
I think that quote was from later in his life.
He’s so smart he thinks 20 moves ahead of his opponent 5 opponents from now before this opponent even knows they are scheduled to play. Thus he’s already won and there is no point scheduling the chess match.
Yes, but it hurts him emotionally to call him a fake gamer.

Agreed, thinking the world is a simulation or illusion goes back millennia. Most people take that knowledge to mean that it’s a co-op game.
