Dude has someone coaching him through the game. Anyone who thinks he plays these games himself fully is naive. Probably has a bunch of people leveling his characters and then he jumps on a steam or posts a video of him playing so a bunch of people go all like "omg look at this autistic genius, we love you Elon".

You act like no one follows a build guide and doesn’t ever watch builds or boss fights online

For me that makes the games boring but a lot of people copy exact play styles they see now just to have the most min maxed build.

Didn't he claim to be a top 10 player in Diablo? That claim is sounding more suspect by the day.

Edit: missed the heading. Like Elon's gaming exploits, please disregard

Well, you're not talking about someone who can't change a tire, you're talking about someone that runs a bunch of some of the most successful and innovative companies in the world while also trolling people online more than your average teen and having many meetings and doing podcats and lot of other stuff. The guy obviously perfected multitasking and is successful at whatever he does, so being very good at videogames is hardly out of reach for someone like him. And I don't even like Elon, I think he can be cringy and weird, but I can call it how it is unlike so many of his haters.

Yeah but the probability of him not only being super succesful and smart but also having world beating reflexes at his age are vanishingly small.

Elon's gonna buy the studio and unban himself.

 

[Singular7]

Its shocking what this guy has accomplished across all mediums.

But number of people who have done what he's done in life are also vanishingly small, so I don't see anything to be surprised by here. Being good at videogames is not just about having super fast reflexes, it's also about having good strategies and knowing how to manipulate game mechanics, something you imagine Musk can be very good at.

It's the equivilant of him suddenly being a gold medal ping pong player.

Not even close, lol. I edied my comment above to explain why it's not hard for someone like Musk to be this good. I find it kinda ironic how people suddenly turn into conspiracy theorists when it comes to people they dislike, even though they have no proof whatsoever in their argument.

Have you ever seen South Korean Starcraft competitive players. It's believable that he could be very good, but the best in the world or clicking too fast? Imagine he was the best in the world at Streetfighter when playing at a tournament he set-up - would that be a little far fetched for you and make you think he may have rigged it?

Like I said, you've turned into a conspiracy theorist. He's not number 1 in the world btw, he's top 20. That top 20 is also doesn't mean everyone who could beat also played at that time. There are many caveats. Also Musk is in top 1% in the world in terms of success at everything he's done, so comparing him to others is stupid. The guy also streams himself playing. People like you who go on to these mental gymnastics without having any proof on your side just make yourselves look silly with all these conspiracy theories.

Let it go.

I saw Asmongold recently reacting to his gameplay. Elon should upload these videos to a YouTube account of his own, if he is not already. I'd sub, even if I do not play those sorts of rpgs. There are some games that are more interesting for me to watch, rather than play. *Translation: I suck at them and am also broke even if I did not.


Elon Musk Rage Quit stream?

Conspiracy theory? He got kicked for cheating - it's not a conspiracy to think he might have been cheating.

Smh, you're so desperate with that reach. All he did was exploit the flaw in the game, plenty of people got banned and then reinstated for same thing. See, you don't even fact check things because of your hate, lol.
