In the continuation of Elon Musk PoE2 journey, he went on a xitter feud with Asmongold, one of the streamers who posted expose videos about it. I think that answers the question on whether Musk actually cared about being the best at the game, or simply got a boosted account for expediency.
He has a track record of lying about things and the fact that people took his claims about playing games seriously is just hilarious. He will double down on it. Musk never cared about being good, his gameplay looked not far off from somene who is fairly new to the game, it is the same as Dan Bilzerian who allegedly won hundreds of millions playing poker whilst looking like a noob about it when compared to actual pros, not even the high level ones.
Yeah this never seemed like anything other than trolling on Musk's part. I didn't read the original tweets where he showed off his gaming level, but it seemed obviously ridiculous. Of course he is not one of the best players in a world at a game that takes dozens or hundreds of hours of play to reach that level.
What is supposed to be the punchline of that trolling? Pretending to be retarded?
Since when was trolling supposed to have a punchline? The point of trolling is to make people upset.
Faking social cred is an easy way to make people upset.
Imagine a famous person claiming to know a language really well. They then "prove" it by clearly reading a script and making some basic pronunciation errors. They deny any attempts for native speakers to have a conversation with them. The community of those language speakers would probably end up really upset with that famous person. Other people would mostly just feel confused "seemed like they were speaking the language fine, why would they fake it?"
People seem to forget that Elon is sometimes entertained by people being pissed off at him.
If you have never felt the desire to troll on the Internet then you are a better person than me. He just takes it to a new level with a billionaire's regard for cash and reputation.
Trolling is about annoying people you don’t like or, at best, feel neutral about (see umad memes, /pol/‘s famous trolls, the /int/ amerimutt meme, leftists calling Vance weird, calling political opponents incels, even stuff like Colbert, although that’s more parody than trolling). But the people Elon is ‘trolling’ in this theory are his actual fans who watch him on Twitch etc, young right-leaning men who like Tesla and SpaceX.
Trolling can target anyone. I've certainly trolled people id call friends.
but did they feed you?
