A little while ago someone posted asking if it was credible that Musk had achieved a world record in Diablo 4.
In a follow up to that, recently Musk has been streaming another ARPG, Path of Exile 2. For those not in the know PoE is what the true rarified ARPG gamers play. It's the Salty Spitoon. Diablo is Weenie Hut Jrs. Much like in D4, Elon's PoE2 character is absolutely decked out, the work of hundreds of hours. But not his. He also zero grasp of the game. He doesn't understand itemisation, he fumbles with interfaces, doesn't know how to play the build properly. I would bet against him having even having completed the campaign once. I have little doubt that his total misunderstanding of the significance of an item's character level requirement will be a meme in the community for years to come.
Is this an indication his diablo records a lie as well? Why?
D4 is just as much as a time sink as PoE so it's a reasonable assumption not all his progression on his D4 character is his own. I'm not a D4 player so I don't understand the specifics of the record. What i've gleaned from the community is if he did get the record illegitimately he didn't leave a smoking gun. Judging from the gameplay it's very item and character dependent, some familiarity with the game is required but it's nowhere near the level of skill typically associated with speedrunning.
