Elon Musk cheats in the video games in which he presumed to be one of the best in the world

Elon Musk has presumed for years of playing video games, which is “her main leisure activity”: “I am 52 years old, my reflexes are not what they were, but I have been playing video games for all my life,” he said in November 2023 . Kill demons in a video game calms the demons of my head. If I play a difficult video game, you can enter a state of Flowand gives pleasure. ”

In November of this year he began to presume more. He said in a podcast that he was one of the 20 best players in the world in Devil IV, A recent video game of a category known as the action role -playing game that occurs in an imagined kingdom where you have to move levels by killing demons. Weeks later he presumed his progression in another new game, Paths of Exile 2.

With his unstoppable popularity as owner of X, executive president of five other recognized companies, his successful entry into politics and both praise and Gamerfurther Streamers and Youtubers Video games began to observe Musk’s behavior while playing in videos he published. The Runrún began to run from X to Reddit, YouTube and Twitch. In January several viral videos appeared with titles such as “Elon Musk lies about being good to video games.” The tension concluded when on Monday by surprise: a tiny YouTuber, Nikowrex, with about three thousand followers both in X and YouTube and that is defined as a “friend” of Musk, revealed with his permit a private conversation in X with the tycoon.

In the Musk conversation he admitted having used two types of traps: one, that others They will pilot Your account to improve your level and, two, buy with real money on websites outside the game weapons and services that can only be obtained with much effort (a trap known with the acronym in English RMT, real money trading). To give context to these traps, it is as if Musk presumed a feat like running 10 kilometers in less than 35 minutes, which as evidence showed the brand in its app of Running and it will be recorded from time to time springing the last 300 meters. But, in reality, his watch to measure his capacity would almost always carry a professional corridor and, when they passed it to him, he ran a while and another time out in an electric scooter.

The reasons that Musk gives Nikowrex are basically [trampas]just as they do. ” Then he clarifies that whenever he has hung a video playing, he was actually he and nobody else. The meaning of all this, as Nikowrex clarifies, who admits to having helped him on occasion, is that he plays well, plays many hours, but not as many as to achieve those levels in global classifications of the game. This type of traps in complex games is an extended but not accepted practice. If Musk wanted to do it to play at more difficult levels without dedicating all the effort he requires to get there, he did not have to show off so much later.

A nearby community

The mosqueo of the video game community with Musk is relevant because it has been a group traditionally close to Musk and Trump. His passion for raw honesty, even unpleasant, and his anger for some progressive speeches approximates them. But now Musk has generated a double frustration for first, cheat, and then not admit when they caught him. Some of the most valued comments in the videos reveal richest man in the world is arguing (and losing) with a guy who used a dead rat as a alarm [Asmongold, cuya otra gran proeza es haber hecho un directo con una cucaracha paseándose por su camiseta]”Or” I begin to think that these billionaires with great political ambitions are not really people who claim to be publicly. “

These regrets against Musk have two pillars: one, if perhaps the most successful person in the world, who directs six of the most powerful companies in the world, finds the time to also be one of the best in any video game, how of fools and fools are the rest? And two, if it really is not so, as he has now admitted, what need to take them for leels and cool also about this? If you do it with something banal like video games, what else will it do?

The banner in all this battle has been carried out above all Zach Asmon, streamer Known as Asmongold, who dedicated several videos to Musk before the truth was known. In response and as retaliation Musk published an old private conversation with him, a message that ended up erasing because breached the policies of X. Asmon even accuses Musk of having retired (and then returned) the Check blue and have removed a label of Gaming that X grants important accounts in its scope.

In his latest video, Asmon summarizes in an illustrative way the underly do it because you make everyone complicit in an obvious lie and [Musk] He bought Twitter because the world was forced to be an accomplice of so many lies. You do not see my criticism as a virus, it is the vaccine, I say so not to have the same biases, double standards and hoaxes on which he and I have complained for years. I do not say that it is the worst, or that it is a terrible guy, but it comes uncle if someone has played for you, because it is fine, but do not see that you have done it. ”

Although all this may seem linked only to video games, it has more route. Musk has demonstrated again and again that he seeks and accepts absurd praise whenever possible. In December, actor Duncan Trussell was interviewed by Joe Rogan, the Podcast most popular in the world. Trussell thus praised Musk: “Elon Musk is the best player in Devil of the world. Unless you have played Devil IVYou don’t understand what that means. It is crazy. When you realize that this type, which is launching rockets into space, manufacturing electric cars, creating new government departments, it is also the best player in Devilit is the only time I allow myself to think: maybe it’s alien. ” And Rogan replies: “It seems so unlikely that if it were a movie I would say: ‘Go! It cannot be number 1 in Devil. I do not care how ready it is with rockets, electric cars, satellites that give internet, tunnels underground, that owns X, and on top of it is tweeting 48 times per hour ‘”.

Now that Musk himself has admitted that he is not the best, all these grandiloquent phrases (there are hundreds on the Internet, especially in X), they should be better explained. There are alleged fans with viral messages that explain their disappointment: “I have always been Elon’s fan, and I think that much of what the media against him have been unfair or misleading. He has done many good things for society. But this story that he lied saying that it was a Gamer “Top 20 ″ while I had someone uploading the account is affecting me a lot.” Musk took advantage of Trump’s inauguration and his confusing celebration gesture to ignore this issue.
