Summary
Technology entrepreneur Elon Musk is finally confessing that hisPath of Exile2account has been getting boosted, with an outright admittance in a recently posted video ending the saga of whether such tactics were being employed. Much to the chagrin of many in thePath of Exile 2fandom, Musk not only acknowledged he’s been having hisPath of Exile 2account boosted, but that he has nothing to apologize for.
Questions began being raised on the subject of the Tesla and Twitter/X CEO’sPath of Exile 2prowess when he was kicked from the game last December. Musk claimed that the reasonhe was booted fromPath of Exile 2was that he was performing too many actions within too short a time, thereby triggering the game’s anti-cheating software. Posting a screenshot to X, Musk claimed to not be using a macro, leading to gamers either feeling impressed or skeptical about the situation, with the latter now possibly correct in their suspicions.
Elon Musk’s admittance to boosting hisPath of Exile 2account comes by way of YouTuber NikoWrex, who went over his DMs with Musk in a recent video. When asked if he’s ever level boosted, which is defined as someone else playing the account, and/or purchasing gear/resources with real money, Musk posted a 100 emoji, saying it’s “impossible” to beat players in Asia otherwise, and that it’s something everyone does. He also admitted to these tactics with hisDiablo 4account, makingMusk’s claim of being a top-rankedDiablo 4playera largely baseless one.
In the full video, which can be foundhere, Musk asserts that he is at least the one playing during his streams. When asked if he would “apologize” to thePath of Exile 2community, responded with “What would I be apologizing for?”
While his admission to boosting hisPath of Exile 2andDiablo 4accounts confirms the many suspicions, some gamers doubted Musk’s gaming achievements from the beginning, with one big name being Asmongold. The Twitch streamer appeared skeptical of Musk’sPath of Exile 2achievements from the beginning, asking the billionaire to provide proof he was a genuine player in exchange for streaming exclusively on X for a year. Musk instead leaked his DMs with Asmongold, while commenting that Asmongold isn’t good at video games.Asmongold responded to Elon Musk’s criticism, calling the response “uncalled for.”
Musk’s Actual Gaming Ability
While many seem to doubt Elon Musk’s aptitude for video games, he does have one person who will vouch for his abilities: his ex, music artist Grimes. The singer took to X recently to state that she witnessed Musk become the first American druid to clear Abattoir of Zir and finished top-ranked in the US for that season, as well as a few other gaming claims. WhileGrimes' comments on Elon Musk’s gaming skillspossibly lend some credence to his previous claims, the boosting of accounts obscures just how much of his supposed achievements are actually his.
