    It isn’t a great point.

    Sure, what Musk did only further proves what a pathetic loser he is, but it’s the equivalent of “My girlfriend goes to another school, you haven’t met her”. It isn’t illegal or anything, it’s attempted clout chasing that blew up in his face… it’s just sad.

    My first instinct was to poke fun but it’s actually important to keep breaking this overpaid influencer’s false image. He’s actively using it to push his harmful agenda.

    Oh, thank you, Vice! I didn’t know Asmongold was worse than Hitler.

    Garbage journalism what a joke. Fuck, I still remember when Vice was relevant and renowned for the work.

      He is not far off

      But the reason Vice uses Asmongold instead of someone like Quin69, who made the video showing Elon is a fraud, is because people know Asmongolds name and it gets Vice the clicks.

    Who the fuck cares. Elon, is average moron playing average game. If this was something important, I could understand, but this is nothing more than attention whoring.

    The Worst Person You Know

    Asmon isn’t even close to to the top of the worst people I know. What even is that title?

    If Musk is ready to lie about his gaming achievements then can we really trust anything that comes out from his mouth.

    I mean who cares if Musk is bad at POE2 but the fact that he goes to such lengths to lie about how good he is in a videogame tells a lot about his character and personality.

      He’s a narcissist. Of course he’s the best at this and everything else he does. Any evidence to the contrary is division by zero.

        narcissism is a lack of empathy and conpassion. it is not thinking you are better than others.

        An example of how a narcissist would think would be “I barely know anything about this subject and you know even less than I do so you must be a fucking idiot if you know less than my dumb ass”

          Lack of empathy is a sign of narcissism sure, but so is a pathological need for praise and to feel superior to others.

            Yes and that need stems from deep insecurity. Narcissists are insecure, but don’t show it. Their whole superiority act is just that, an act. Very convincing, because it’s what they -want- to be, and when people praise them it’s like a confirmation. They’re addicted to it. That’s why they lash out at anyone who sees through it. When you praise them, they’ll treat you like the best friend/lover they’ve ever had, but once you take away the praise… well they become a nightmare.

            See it like this: nobody who is actually self-confident needs to get a constant stream of praise to be happy.

                Because it’s not true. Narcissistic personality disorder may included self loathing but it is not a requirement.

                This pattern is shown by the presence of ≥ 5 of the following:

                An exaggerated, unfounded sense of their own importance and talents (grandiosity) Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited achievements, influence, power, intelligence, beauty, or perfect love Belief that they are special and unique and should associate only with people of the highest caliber A need to be unconditionally admired A sense of entitlement Exploitation of others to achieve their own goals A lack of empathy Envy of others and a belief that others envy them Arrogance and haughtiness

                source

                Musk only needs 5. One could easily argue he has all of them.

    The weird thing is like, this whole situation could have been avoided if he just played the game normally rather than pretending to be some god gamer at it.

      Fragile masculinity combined with wanting to appear sufficiently tech savvy to tech bro investors. Tech bros want nerds because pretty much every dollar they’ve ever made was off the back of some innovation of someone they consider a nerd, so Elon wants to be the biggest nerd to tech bros so they will throw even more money at his dumb projects.

    Honestly don’t care about Elon’s PoE 2 account. Nor do I care much about Asmongold as a person, I only have a single important question:

    What’s with gaming streamers/youtubers trying to look like Jesus? GN Steve gets a pass, he’s Tech Jesus and everyone knows it. What’s up with Asmongold and that Penguinz guy though?

      By “look like Jesus” do you mean they are white guys with long hair and facial hair?

      I think you might underestimate how easy it is to grow your hair out and stop shaving and instantly become a Jesus look-alike. No effort needed.

      Also, these two dudes look extremely different from each other and obviously they look nothing like Jesus who was a 5 and 1/2 ft tall brown skinned Semite.

    Actually it’s a dumb point because everyone and their mom already know he got boosted. Both of them should shut up and stop showing their face in public thank you very much.
