Tesla CEO Elon Elon Musk was suspected of hiring someone to boost his character 97 in the expert mode of Path of Exile 2. Shortly after the character died, Musk finally responded to the controversy. He admitted to using the “account upgrade service” and He said that if he didn’t do this, he wouldn’t be able to beat Asian players.
Tech tycoon Musk owns many companies. He is not only busy patrolling the sea on the X platform and launching Starship, the largest rocket on earth, but he is also the head of US President Trump’s new department “Government Efficiency”. He is also a well-known animation and game artist. Enthusiast, but do you have time to play RPG if you are so busy?
As the saying goes, money can’t buy happiness, but it can indeed buy the ultimate character in games such as “Diablo 4” and “Path of Exile 2”.
Musk was very unfamiliar with the skills of operating advanced characters in live broadcasts. Live broadcasters and netizens questioned the rationality and suspected that he was not playing the game himself. Among them, Asmongold had a fierce argument with him (the article has been deleted) over who was the real player, which indirectly caused the former to The blue tick is decertified.
Now that Musk has admitted to cheating at the end of the game, he had to do it, after all, when he attended Trump’s inauguration, his role was still trying to upgrade. The news comes from the video “Discussing All Dramas of “Path of Exile 2″ with Elon Musk” posted by YouTuber “NikoWrex” on January 18. The content of the revelation is said to have been made public with Musk’s consent.
NikoWrex asked Musk in private message whether he used power leveling (let others play on your account) and/or purchased equipment and resources for Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) and Diablo 4 (Diablo 4)?Musk replied “100%”
“If you don’t do this, it’s impossible to beat Asian players, because they all do it!” Musk added. He said that he played in person every time during the live broadcast, but in order to quickly upgrade, he shared his account with the industry, even though he had never Be honest with the public.
“Account power-up” services are often considered cheating by players in online games. Not only is the community opposed, but developers also explicitly prohibit players from sharing accounts in the terms of service. However, in fact, if you want to collect information to prove that the other party is paying someone to train, Only when it becomes difficult will the authorities have the power to investigate their login information and game screens.
NikoWrex asked the world’s richest man again, “Regarding “Path of Exile 2″, did you intentionally mislead people into thinking that your expert role was completely practiced by yourself?” Musk said no, and he tried to downplay the matter, “I never It is not claimed that “Diablo” or “PoE” requires multiple people playing on the same account to win the level competition. “
NikoWrex asked Musk if he wanted to apologize to the player community? He asked “What should I apologize for?” Apparently he didn’t think there was any need to apologize because the top 20 players on the leaderboard were all doing it.
Netizens quarreled at the bottom of the video. Many players felt that Musk’s attempt to cover up obvious cheating was very sad. He had repeatedly emphasized his status as a hardcore gamer on a podcast hosted by Joe Rogan and others, “He has spent his whole life taking other people’s money. I owe the work to myself.” “It’s ridiculous. The strongest tanks are from Europe and the United States… They can do this without Asian players.”
Musk, Blizzard and Grinding Gear Games have yet to respond.
