Musk’s Path of Exile 2 Skills Questioned
A hot potato: Elon Musk’s recent Path of Exile 2 gameplay stream has sparked controversy. His level 95 hardcore character, typically requiring immense skill, displayed inconsistencies and errors.
Suspicions of Ghosting
An “Elon’s map” stash tab raised suspicions of outside help, suggesting pre-prepared items for easier gameplay. His erratic movement, slow clearspeed, and a 10-second mana-empty period contradicted his claimed high-tier status.
Gameplay Inconsistencies
Musk left valuable currency items uncollected while picking up useless ones. His Atlas map navigation was also questionable, demonstrating a lack of understanding for a player of his supposed level. He played without a loot filter, manually sorting through items – a tedious process for a high-level player.
Fundamental Misunderstandings
Most damningly, Musk repeatedly mistook item level for item requirement, showcasing a fundamental misunderstanding of the game’s itemization system. He commented on his “low-level” high-end gear, demonstrating a lack of understanding of core mechanics.
Community Reaction
Streamers Quin69 and Asmongold, along with many Reddit users, strongly suspect someone else played the account for him. The discussion also questions Musk’s need to boast about gaming achievements given his other accomplishments.
