You had me at Elon died. ❤️
I was super excited for a brief moment until I kept reading
In the last minutes of the stream, Musk made a hardcore difficulty character he named Kekius Maximus, a 4chan-esque meme name he’s used as his display name on X. But Kekius Maximus was not long for the world. Musk died to one of the game’s tutorial bosses due to a bad connection, which subsequently concluded the stream, ending another sad, weird data point in the Elon Musk fake gamer saga.
The guy who claimed he was a top tier Quake player… who in actuality, was only scoring well in online matches, because he played on the T1 high speed, stupid expensive business line at his Zip2 business in the 90s… and performed terribly at LANs…
Well here he is 30 years later, now dying to a tutorial boss, partially due to the shitty connection of his own ISP.
Amazing.
Elon Musk dies….
Tease!
My heart sank
when I finished reading the title
100%
Elon Musk is a fake gamer girl
Hahaha, this is too accurate
I DONT CARE
but i care enough to tell you to not post this crap
and that everyone who cares about what video game the fascist prince is playing also needs to touch grass
At this point I think it’s just fun. So much of the conversation around Elon is deadly serious, doom and gloom, and this is just… lighthearted mocking about something that doesn’t matter. It’s a refreshing change.
And it does seem to matter to him, so undermining that image he works hard to curate is an added bonus. And hell, if Path of Exile is what makes someone realize what a pathetic lying moron he can be, then that’s fantastic as well, even if it’s an odd thing to have that epiphany for.
You defeat these people by exploiting their deep seated insecurities.
Sometimes that backfires like when Seth Meyers got trump to run for president, but that’s the exception.
You say that, but it seriously looks like cheating in and being bad at video games is hurting his reputation even among the chuds.
That may be but they can still vote and if that’s what gets them activated then go for it. This “right way” shit has got to stop.
Yeah, when he’s going out of his way to wreck the lives of the poor, he deserves it. More.
Fuck him.
Is the PoE 2 tutorial boss any harder than the PoE 1 tutorial boss? Because if not, then thats actually crazy.
the boss is “harder”, you have to actively dodge his abilities but he’s not “dying two times in a row” hard
It should still be really easy to first time the tutorial boss if you have like, any experience in games where you need to dodge telegraphed attacks
Sure, someone new to video games in general would struggle. Someone who played at least a tiny bit of Elden ring? Should feel completely natural
If you read the article, he died because his Starlink connection disconnected - which also cut the stream.
Which doesn’t excuse his lack of skill throughout the stream before that.
That he lost to the tutorial boss as well as being trolled to high heaven as well as Starlink crapping out is the icing on top of the icing on the cake. Bully these people. The ones that call others “snowflakes” are projecting harder than an IMAX. Bully them into the fuckin grave
Ringing endorsement of Starlink. Can’t wait till the FFA relies on it.
It’s harder. Many top payers have died to him. if you don’t pay attention
What? Maybe on the first day but not since.
Ppl die to him all the time. You can see that in the daily clip compilation YouTubes
Talk about bait and switch headline
Is this actually news that matters?
Kind of. It shows he is a liar. Maybe that wakes someone up. News showing that political leaders and figureheads lie about even the mundane is good reporting, even if the topic is dumb.
It’s essentially this moment, but for gamers. At least it should be.
I love this and hate this, because it prescribes way too much credit to Musk for work he’s never done.
Yeah, it’s not his rockets. There was a lot of hard work behind them by literal rocket scientists.
If anything, the rockets have excelled despite his stupidity.
I think the more important insight is how desperately he is trying to appeal to the young male demographic, and going so far as to pay a pro gamer to boost his account in a video game so he can pretend to be one of them.
Why? Probably a lot of potential reasons, but anyone with even a little bit of critical thinking skills should immediately become suspicious when they see that. Because whatever the actual reason, it probably isn’t good.
What’s really funny is that he still could’ve faked it. Like, it would be simple to talk on face cam while someone else plays. This showcases his deep narcissism that he is buying his own pathetic hype.
I would assume the reason is that young disenfranchised males are easy to radicalize into a personal army. Every war lord knows and uses this age old trick.
The most charitable answer is sad: that he sees himself as one of them. It’s entirely possible that he thinks of himself as essentially a 20 year old who loves video games, drugs, and trolling.

What we think of Elon matters to Elon, so yes.
If what I thought of elon mattered to elon, he’d have offed himself by now.
He just doesn’t know but internet is the place to exchange ideas so we just need to keep trying.
That just means you’re not making your hatred loud enough 🤷🏽♂️
He’s trying to build credibility among younger audiences through the only thing they give a shit about: video games. It’s more anti-propaganda than it is “news”. And, really, most news is some form of propaganda or anti-propaganda.
Shit is, in real life these assholes live forever.
I bet he would have his shit rocked so hard by Rick, Soldier of God in Elden Ring.
DogshitdogeshitHave been using starlink for more than 2 years at this point and can confirm from my view that there are very few connection issues. I’ve almost never looked at my connection as the issue when gaming since getting it. It either went down completely for a few hours (2 times I can remember) or was very solid.
EDIT: Not excusing or fanboying for Musk, as his personal direction has been questionable in recent years. But talking about the technology perspective.
A coworker lives out I the middle of nowhere but has Starlink to keep him connected and working fully remote. Literally once a meeting he drops mid-sentence and when his frozen face comes back to life he’s yelling “GOD DAMNIT ELON”. Never fails to get a chuckle.
My boss had starlink and we used to joke that it was an elaborate plot to get out of meetings/awkward conversations.
Very interesting, I’ve done full zoom lessons for hours and almost never had connectivity issues like that. Our dish has full open sky view, so that may be part of a difference, as well I think it’s the first version of the dish, not one of the later ones.
He does ham radio and we just built him a 20m high tower for it with the Starlink dish mounted at the top to look over any possible trees etc. it’s not obstructions 🤷♂️
