    Who’d of thought. A billionaire a cheater. /s

    These people cheat at every aspects of life, society rewards narcissism, rewards people willing to forgo morals. We have systematised this were we can look at hi school bullies and have a vague idea where they will end up.

    These people aren’t worthy of our respect, and we need to make it known.

    I"m just glad he had the balls to drop the act, I’ve known Twitch Streamers who get caught blatantly cheating who are defiant to the end and demand to sue the company

    Edit: Dear downvoters, I"m not saying Elon cheating is a good thing nor am I praising him, I"m just saying I’m glad that he came out and admitted it instead of “Naw bro, I’m totally playing fair and am an expert on Diablo of Exiles or whatever it’s called.”, this is more of a “The bar is so low that I’m glad you shat your pants instead of peeing in my face.” than a real compliment.

    I just remembered that Grimes came out defending him on this topic.

    Or did I fall for a meme/shitpost?

      She said something about Diablo that I didn’t understand as someone who doesn’t play that game but apparently confirming that, at one time, he was very skilled. Which is absolutely meaningless in a context where he pays people to play for him and then pretends that he did it.

        Diablo IV gives scaled advantage for having very good equipment, and you can spend tons of time getting that equipment optimized. If someone else got him max rolled equipment and all he did was pilot it, it might look to someone who is a non-gamer that he is amazing at the game. You’d have to get the honest opinion of other top tier gamers if he is actually skillful.

        Some builds all you have to do is keep spamming one or two attack buttons to wipe out all enemies.

    If he says he’s top 20 player and it turns out he bought that account then what does that mean for the credibility of his other supposed achievements? Oops.

    Not many individuals manage to form a stain of shame on their related species. I guess he is, indeed, remarkable in that way.

    I’m sure if there was actual worthy news this wouldn’t be reported on however there is obviously nothing else happening so clearly we need to talk about this instead.

      He needs to pretend to be a top tier gamer to win the affection of internet strangers because he craves validation and attention.

      Natural born grifter and liar.

          Yes but he has no time for this sh*t of course. If you want to reach this kind of levels, you need to play hours and hours per day. And every day of the week. Nobody has time for that.

        To me the reality of it is so damn stupid, If this were back to lying about quake, that’s one thing. He’s claiming on games with continual progression however. Of which even if you have amazing skill, it’s meaningless without time. IE it would be well understood that if someone is in those leaderboards legitimately, they’ve been living the NEET lifestyle (IE spending almost all waking hours playing the game), not say… on a nation tour following around a presidential candidate, while also forming a new government consulting group, spending considerable time on twitter as a user… and being a micromanaging incompetent CEO at 4+ companies.
