In a surprising turn of events, technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has openly admitted to boosting his Path of Exile 2 account. This revelation came during a recently released video, putting an end to the ongoing speculation surrounding his gaming practices. Fans of Path of Exile 2 have been eagerly discussing the implications of such tactics, and Musk’s candid acknowledgment has certainly stirred the pot within the community.
The topic of the Tesla and Twitter/X CEO’s skills in Path of Exile 2 came into question after he was removed from the game last December. Musk asserted that his ejection was due to an excessive number of actions taken in a brief period, which inadvertently activated the game’s anti-cheat mechanisms. He shared a screenshot on X to support his claim of not employing any macros, which sparked a mix of admiration and doubt among the gaming community, with many now leaning towards skepticism regarding his explanation.
In a recent video, YouTuber NikoWrex revealed a conversation he had with Elon Musk regarding his gaming practices in Path of Exile 2. During their exchange, NikoWrex inquired whether Musk had ever engaged in level boosting, a practice where someone else plays on a player’s account or where players buy in-game items and resources using real money. Musk responded with a 100 emoji, indicating his agreement and emphasizing that it is “impossible” to compete with players in Asia without resorting to such methods. He further claimed that this is a common practice among gamers.
In the complete video available at this link, Musk confidently states that he is the one actively participating during his streams. When questioned about whether he would extend an apology to the Path of Exile 2 community, he replied with a curious, “What would I be apologizing for?”
Elon Musk’s recent acknowledgment of enhancing his accounts in both Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4 has validated numerous speculations circulating within the gaming community. However, skepticism has lingered, particularly from prominent figures like Asmongold, a well-known Twitch streamer. From the outset, Asmongold expressed doubts regarding Musk’s claims of gaming prowess, even challenging the billionaire to substantiate his gaming credentials. In a rather bold move, he proposed that Musk should prove his legitimacy as a player in exchange for a year of exclusive streaming on X.
Musk’s Actual Gaming Ability
Despite the skepticism surrounding Elon Musk’s gaming skills, there is at least one person who stands by his abilities: his former partner, the musician Grimes. Recently, she shared her thoughts on X, revealing that she had seen Musk achieve a remarkable feat in the gaming world. According to Grimes, he became the first American druid to conquer the challenging Abattoir of Zir, securing a top rank in the United States for that particular season. This endorsement from Grimes adds an interesting layer to the ongoing debate about Musk’s prowess in video games.
