Technology billionaire Elon Musk is not only the CEO of several large companies and a really active X-communicator, but also a hard-working video gamer, at least according to his own account. However, players have wondered when Musk has enough time to play video games so much that he would reach the level he said.
Recently, Musk played Path of Exile 2 on a webcast. That video game session has caused many to wonder about its contents.
According to his story, Musk has played PoE 2 as much as a level 95 hardcore character. We are talking about a huge amount of games to get to that level. That’s why the gaming community is amazed at how Musk seems to have lost his way, so to speak, with very simple things.
There have already been speculations on social media that Musk would pay someone or some others to play with his characters so that his characters would advance quickly in different games.
For example A comprehensive list has been collected on Reddit details that make one wonder about Musk’s claims about his own gaming.
Musk has trouble moving between different playing fields, even though his high-level character gives indications that he must have already traversed hundreds or even thousands of playing fields.
In connection with this, it has also been wondered why the title “Elon’s maps” appears on the maps in the game, when no other menus are named after Elon. It has been wondered why someone would name their maps after their own name and not just maps. The conspiracy theory is that someone else would have made a collection of easier maps for Musk so that he can play live without worrying about too difficult situations.
Also, Musk doesn’t seem to understand why he can’t pick up objects when his transport capacity is already fully used. Similarly, it has been wondered how he picks up very worthless items and fails to pick up items that are important in terms of progress.
In the broadcast, Musk also presents his character’s equipment and comments on their level. Musk mentions how his gear can be “only” level 65, for example, when his character is level 95. Players have pointed out that this seems like a very basic level misunderstanding. The levels of the character and this equipment are not connected to each other, but different equipment progress on their own scale and that, for example, the equipment of level 65 is already very advanced.
These various oddities have been wondered at in addition to Reddit also on Youtube.
Unconfirmed rumors have also been mentioned in the Reddit publication, according to which when trading with the game character, the messages have been translated into Chinese and the tabs in Musk’s character’s inventory have also been named in Chinese.
Musk’s video and related oddities have also been commented on diligently. On Reddit, one commenter is surprised that a car designed by a company run by Musk was launched into space in a rocket designed by another company he runs, but still feels the need to relive his video game achievements.
In one of the answers, it is stated that the image of Musk would be more interesting and more authentic if he had just calmly played on the broadcast, told that he was, say, level 30 and still stated that he really likes the game.
