This dosnt apply to big Phil, to be frank im sickened by the acusations. Hes a real gamer, one of us and most of all hes an Xbox warlord, captain, leader, legend. He cares about Microsoft Xbox and its gamers and strives to provide us with the best games and the greatest, most powerfull hardware to play them on. Hes a realy good gamer aswell, sometimes I just watch hes game profile waiting for it to come online so I can message him support with whatever game hes playing and watch hes gamerscore get bigger .

I was accusing you of being the intern that's pumping up his score

 

[alabtrosMyster]

I wonder how much the person who sits and levels characters for Elon all day is paid.

More than you.

 

[RoadHazard]

More than you.

Well, I'm not sure actually. Elon obviously has the money to pay this guy $10K per day, but I'm pretty sure he's also cheap. He didn't become the richest man in the world by paying more than he has to for staff and other things.

I am but only in my dreams sadly, Phil letting me round hes gaff, use hes Xbox Series S white controller while he watches me roll in the gamerscore and reward points so he can get himself some more gamepass.

At least it must be some extreme good PoE player....to have a char like that 4 weeks in...on fckn hardcore league.

The suspicion among players who actually play Diablo IV and PoE 2 is that someone else is grinding an account that Musk takes over and claims is his. In that scenario, Musk isn’t actually putting the work in to grind these characters up, he’s just taking credit for someone else’s hard work.

​

Alot of gacha streamers do this. They hire someone to do the dailies and keep up they account up to date and just stream the game when thers content worth streaming. I can see Ellon doing the same as something tells me he does more things than playing games.

 

[Aenima]

double post*

 

[Kacho]

I guess, but like the guy said. Just play the game normally. Nobody is gonna tease you for just playing the game. If Elon came out beforehand and was like I paid somebody to grind this out because I wanted to see what high level PoE was like, I would’ve respected that too.

Yeah, it's weird. Phil Spencer did the same thing a few years back. I remember trolling people when I was a full-blown Xbro. "Look! Papa Phil played Assassin's Creed Origins for 100 hours!"

Edit:

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Based on the enthusiasm I decided to hire somebody to love me up to level 37 in call of duty

 

[DeepEnigma]

Well at least it explains why you had to play through Hellblade 2 twice.

I think that was his punishment.

 

[Zathalus]

Now I wonder if that PoE ban he copped back a while back was legit. Or at least the person playing for him got banned.

 

[mckmas8808]

Oh a lot dumbtubers make a video about the most popular man in the world ? You don't say?

YouTube was a mistake.

But they are right....

 

[drotahorror]

stop he's not going to fuck you dude

I think Elons skull fucked enough people around here they got brain rot

 

[mckmas8808]

Probably way too much

Probably not enough.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I don't understand why he tried to do this. Just do a stream saying you are checking out the game and play from the beginning. It makes no sense to me.

 

[Codeblew]

Cerny comes off as a real gamer to me

He co-programmed Millipede and co-programmed and designed Marble Madness. Yeah, I would say he is a gamer.

He has a track record of paying well for high-level positions. On the other hand, for lower skilled positions, he pays very poorly, and is not above asking people to work for free with the incentive of, "you get to work for me, so that should be enough."

So really the question here is, does he think playing video games is worth shelling out money for?

 

[Kilau]

That is a lie. Do you make this lie?

Where did you find lie?

Liar

[Sushi_Combo]

Lol to that older thread that praised him for this totally legit high level account that he totally plays every day.

 

[MiguelItUp]

This isn't surprising at all to me. I mean, the guy has enough on his plate, how would you have the time to grind the way you've grinded in everything? Diablo 4, Elden Ring, POE2, etc.

I never thought it'd be a surprise that someone else was doing it. Him thinking of streaming is not wise, because you're clearly going to show missteps. Really not smart if you're trying to make this believable. But whatever, some people are way too gullible. I feel like this was all just a ploy to "impress" "hardcore gamers" or folks that love to game that are almost always online or something. It's silly.

Lol to that older thread that praised him for this totally legit high level account that he totally plays every day.

Yuuuup, and the people that didn't praise him or questioned things were being berated, lol.

 

[hangdang69]

Why would anyone care if Elon Musk levels his own characters or not lol

 

[DeepEnigma]

He co-programmed Millipede and co-programmed and designed Marble Madness. Yeah, I would say he is a gamer.

Marble Madness, the OG Souls game of puzzle games.

Yeah, I don't think he has hired a rocket scientist for this position.

Gamers can't tell that they're being used for political gains lately?

He shouldn't play videogames at all. He is an awful father.

He died

 

[The artful mincer]

Never believe Elon Musk about anything ever!

 

[Evil Calvin]

if you've played a total of 3 minutes of POE2, you can watch the stream and see Musk has a bought account

Isn't that a ban-able offense?.....or not?

 

[March Climber]

Sounds habitual

 

[Rawbutt Jellybean]

I don't even play those games and know he was full of shit. To be a top 10-20 player in a popular game these days is like a 12+ hour a day commitment. In fact a lot of the time none of the accounts at the top of leaderboards are legit.

 

[pudel]

Isn't that a ban-able offense?.....or not?

yes. but its not a bought account, it seems to be a shared one. Someone (or more people) play for him and he just randomly plays a few maps here and there.

[Physiognomonics]

No idea how PS execs operate their accounts

Cerny comes off as a real gamer to me

Yes he is. he has been playing seriously since at least PS4 launch. Once he PMed me about one game we were both playing. Back then he was less famous and was talking to random gamers online (using Playstation games networks / messenger). He is a legit humble person.
