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.
Shit, mentioning the T1 really made me have a minor flashback. Yeah. Back in the 90s computer processing power varied dramatically between users. Like when I got a 386 around 1990 it had a whooping 40mb of space and 1mb of RAM. It was a lot for the time. We never had to run anything directly off disks. But just 3 years later when Doom came out (and I remember the launch of Doom) i was surprised that we couldn’t have it because it needed 4mbs of RAM. Also our computer wasn’t fast enough anymore so when we DID finally get it years later we needed to use the smaller screen option to get it to run fast enough otherwise it was too choppy to play.
Someone playing Quake, a game that only came out a few years later, with that kind of machine you’re talking about would dominate. Not because of skill, but simply that his comp has the speed that can allow him to act and react much faster than his opponents.
It would be like if you took a modern formula one race car from 2025 to a formula one race in 1925. A medicore driver would win, but not for skill.
Back in the 90s my friend and I would play Descent against each other via modem. I had a 100Mhz processor, he had a 66Mhz processor. If I came in blasting with a rapid fire weapon his machine couldn’t render fast enough and he’d get blown up.
Someone playing Quake, a game that only came out a few years later, with that kind of machine you’re talking about would dominate. Not because of skill, but simply that his comp has the speed that can allow him to act and react much faster than his opponents.
Exactly.
In that sense, ‘pay to win’ has always been a thing lol.
You sound probably a bit older than me, but I can’t tell you how many times in the 90s and early 00s that I legitimately lost games due to having a garbage tier ping to basically everywhere, and a shitty eMachine, and everyone else just acted like none of that mattered and I was just whining.
Then, surprise, me and the online boys all jump into a server where they all have pings of 80, I have a ping of 200, and then they’re all mad that I cant hit anybody because enemies are rubber banding around like fucking DBZ characters for me.
… Then I do a LAN party with local friends and utterly dominate, routinely.
I’m younger than both of ya’ll but I remember playing COD Modern Warfare 2 on my Xbox 360 with a 27” CRT TV and a connection that put me a good few tenths of a second behind everyone else(estimating off of killcam footage).
I cleaned up most of the time. I had to get good and I didn’t know at first that it was my connection so I just started going wild lol. I only played hardcore mode and used fast, light weapons so I could react and correct more quickly. Probably couldn’t pull it off these days but it’s a fun memory.
Yeah… a whole lot of gamers… seem to… think they know how game design works, think they know how to solve technical problems…
And well now in the last decade we see the buckets of slop games on steam made by such idiots, confirming that indeed, 95% of them have no clue about anything.
I was an early beta tester for Project Reality, which has now become its own studio, Squad is literally Project Reality just rebuilt in UE 4 to higher quality, because EA wouldn’t liscense out Frostbite to them.
But thats all a tangent to hopefully lend some creedence to when I say: solving network lag and having good netcode is actually extremely complicated and difficult, even still today.
We still see AAA studios fucking up the basics of a lot of netcode stuff in mmo/rpg typr games, where they just make way, way too much shit clientside authoritative, and then have to spend a year or two redesigning the entire game.
This, in turn, is why third party kernel anti cheats have taken off so much, because game devs just fucking give up at making a reasonably secure networked game.
Meanwhile Valve figured this shit out literal decades ago, with highly efficient netcode, and a mostly server side AC solution.
It isn’t possible to stop 100% of cheaters.
It is possible to stop 99.9% of them by designing your game and netcode well.
But that is apparently too hard, so basically the entite industry has outsourced it and/or solved it with massively inefficient and privacy/security compromising AC.
I’ve hated him since before Trump’s first election, correctly realizing he is a fradulent try hard con man megalomaniac, and have had to endure a decade of people mocking me ‘oh yeah like you are smarter than the richest man on earth yeah right fuck off’.
Yep. I am smarter than him. So were half the people hurling those insults at me, actually.
Elon is actually quite stupid at everything other than conning people.
of course, but he pretends to be very skilled at this game and has hired people to fake it for him….
now, he’s so narcissistic that he still thought he could livestream himself playing, and people would see how good he is… then he died to a tutorial boss….
the point is he’s a fraud at every level, and this is some juicy undeniable proof.
it’s hard to really prove he’s a fraud at spacex and tesla and pretending to be some super genius, but proving he’s even a fraud at stupid video games proves he’s probably a fraud in everything else.
if he actually had any real skill at anything, he wouldn’t need to fake being a good gamer.
i suck at video games all the time, and i enjoy it… but i never pretend like im the best gamer ever.
btw, he also called chess too simple…
it’s hard to really prove he’s a fraud at spacex and tesla and pretending to be some super genius
I mean, even this isn’t very hard. My relative used to work at SpaceX, and it’s an open secret that the company has a team of people dedicated to keeping Elon away from the engineers. Like as soon as he steps out of his office, there are multiple people whose sole job is to push paperwork and “problems” (read: “literally just basic decisions that anyone in middle management could make”) in front of him to keep him completely distracted with inane and inconsequential things, while also making him feel like a big important decision maker.
All so he doesn’t have time to wander down towards the engineers. Because if he does get to the engineers, he’ll inevitably try to one-up them with some “why are we doing it this way that I’m too dumb to understand? I don’t like that I can’t understand it. We should do it this dumb way instead” decree. And now the entire company is going to grind to a halt until the engineers can redesign the entire system to fit his new dumb design.
Like he desperately wants to fit in with the engineers, but the only way he knows how is to try and flex his (nonexistent) technical expertise. So the company has hired people specifically to prevent that scenario from ever happening.
while i believe all of this, it’s not super easy to prove.
a livestream fail is undeniable, complete proof that he’s a fraud in video games….
and it does lend credence to the idea that he’s a fraud in everything else.
If Dunning-Kruger could be crystallized into a single sentence. The fucking moron probably memorized how each piece is allowed to move and thought that was all there was to it.
I wanna see Elon play a grandmaster and get absolutely memed on. The gulf between the average person and a top tier chess player is probably 10x greater than the gulf between the average person and a top tier gamer, in any video game. Chess just has such a large player base and literally centuries of tactical/strategic development, few games can even claim to have fostered the level of expertise required to be a top player.
Side note: chess skull is often correlated with intelligence. There might be something there, but at the top levels it’s really just about having played thousands and thousands of games and recognizing patterns between is how often you’ve played. Perhaps some genetal intelligence translates well to chess, but little chess skill translates to general intelligence.
To quote Paul Morphy, who was a worldwide chess champion at 21 years old but retired at 22: “The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.”
AoE2 is one of a small number of video games I can entertain an argument about building an immense skill gulf between average and top tier players, like chess. But the size of that gulf is just incomparable.
There are approximately as many titled chess masters* as there are total monthly AoE2 players. And truly, the difference between a Candidate Master and a Grand Master is probably as big as the difference between a candidate master and an average player. Grand Masters are just so insanely skilled, they can pull some crazy flexes by forcing their opponents’ moves due to traps they set tens of moves ago.
I watched a GM streamer playing against his subs, with the rule “no matter how bad you’re losing, you can’t forfeit” so that he could show of these stunts. He was doing stuff like promoting every single pawn to a queen (which gets tricky because when you have 8 queens you have to try to not accidentally checkmate your opponent until you get the 9th). Taking only the pawns from his opponent, and then forcing all of the pieces back to their starting square before checkmate. Forcing an “underpromotion mate” (where you win by turning a pawn into a knight rather than a queen, pretty rare circumstance). Drawing basic pixel art with the pieces on the board at checkmate. And these weren’t all against noob players, some of them were quite skilled or even semi-pro, but to someone at the top tier of chess there is almost no difference between semi pro and beginner.
Elon sounds like this phase I went through where I believed I was the smartest person alive, and I would often make grandiose and contrarian statements to keep up the illusion, because being considered the smartest was more important than the actual possession of knowledge or wisdom. Simply because feeding my ego felt good, but I realized that feeding my ego means not feeding my true self which is NOT the ego, and if I fed myself I could actually became intelligent and enjoy maybe not feel the high of the role… but actually being intelligent is more valuable.
If I recall correctly I was 15 at the time this started and 17-19 when I stopped doing it because I realized it made me an assclown.
He’s so smart he thinks 20 moves ahead of his opponent 5 opponents from now before this opponent even knows they are scheduled to play. Thus he’s already won and there is no point scheduling the chess match.
It’s not about the game, it just shows how much of a pathetic liar he is. And the length he goes to lie about something stupid like playing video games just shows how far he would go for his actual lies and just shows even more what kind of a sad pathetic human being he is.
100%, but this is also kind of hilarious after he literally compared himself to Neo because he’s so good at Diablo 4, before finally admitting months later that he paid to boost his account.
While playing games is bad. Lets not forget this guy believes that this is all a simulation, like its all one big fucking game to him. He is out of touch and seems to have a latency akin to Starlink connections.
I don’t want to ruin it for you, but all rich at 1 billion level and above, or people with power believe that life is a game, and all others exist just to serve them. Believing that the world is a simulation does not make you an arrogant fascist SOB.
Wasn’t arguing that his believing the world is his playground dismisses the arrogant man child fascist megalomaniac that he is, just stating that he believes that we are all NPCs
It’s not that he’s bad at games, it’s that he used illegal methods to cheat his way into being one of the Top Diablo IV and POE 2 players, and when the devs of the latter called bullshit (Blizzard being the old men who yell at clouds didn’t because they thought being associated with Elon was a positive thing) so he played on a new account to “Prove” he was “Just that good”
And basically did the Action RPG equivilent of dying to the first Goomba in Super Mario Bros.’ World 1-1 at a live convention where your speedrunning skills are the main attraction

I’m pretty sure the current standard is playing Halo and fumbling so badly you have to turn the difficulty down from Legendary to Normal, and missing your target time by over an hour (see: the Cody Miller Halo GDQ speedrun).
There are rumors going around from people in his life that he underwent a failed penis enhancement surgery. A lot of people are joking that his dick is mangled or missing but in reality he probably just cannot maintain a natural or medicinal erection due to damage to the blood vessels. He has the money and resources to get a penile implant installed which is basically a fluid sac that fills up with the touch of a sub-dermal button to give someone an erection. He’s got a balloon animal cyborg dick basically. More than likely this makes him completely incapable of impregnating a woman (no muscles to ejaculate sperm with) which is why all of his children are IVF
Also why he has such hateful issues with Vivian. Fucker can’t stand the fact that a) he has a daughter and b) reality and people remain uncontrollable even if you’re obscenely rich
I honestly have no idea if it’s true. I first heard the rumor around the same time he said x would stop fact checking but whether or not that’s a coincidence is not something i can not say
Ordinarily, this wouldn’t have been such a bad thing, were it not for the fact that he’s desperate to both be seen as an infallible genius, and well liked.
If it was the image people had of him 10 - 20 years ago, him admitting that he likes video games but wasn’t that great at them might have actually helped his image.
If Elon had said he loved PoE2 but he sucks at it because he rarely has time to play then that would have at least aligned with his claims that he works 60 to 80 hours a week.
Elon pretending to work 80 hour weeks and also grind 16 hours a day on PoE2 was just insane. He is such an idiot
There’s an interesting psychological analysis about musk on a podcast called Psychology in Seattle. They speculate that he is unconconsiously recreating his childhood bullying on twitter due to a psychological phenomenum called “repetition compulsion”. As in, you recreate relationships from childhood to try to have a " corrective experience" to heal the trauma.
This is exactly what Ted Bundy did when his first love dumped him.
He fell for a woman called Diane Edwards while in college, and they dated for about a year. She was everything he thought a woman should be; beautiful, smart, successful, and from a well-off family. She dumped him because she saw him as “pitifully weak”. Psychologists believe, and Bundy himself all but confirmed, that this was the catalyst that would fuel his homicidal rage towards women. It’s also believed that Diane heavily influenced the type of women he killed; young white college students with brown hair parted in the middle. He began killing women the same year Diane dumped him.
Five years later he was married and living a double life as a serial killer. During this time, he sought out and reconnected with Diane behind his wife’s back, and Diane was impressed with his transformation. He was on the cusp of a successful legal and political career, and he seemed a lot more masculine and sure of himself. She was smitten and wanted to pursue the relationship. They even got as far as discussing marriage. That’s when Bundy dumped her and cut off all contact with her, getting his “corrective experience” moment, which clearly did nothing to heal the trauma of rejection that spurred one of the most terrifying episodes of serial murder in history.
Elon Musk doesn’t need to beat the bullies to get closure. He needs therapy. Or rather, he needed therapy, and he needed it many years ago. At this point, he’s in his “dumping Diane” phase, where he’s already hurt so many people and he’s so far gone that no amount of therapy would help him. He’s already too addicted to the monster he’s become to ever want to heal himself. His need to have these corrective experiences, like Bundy with Diane, is strictly to feed the monster’s ego.

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.
Shit, mentioning the T1 really made me have a minor flashback. Yeah. Back in the 90s computer processing power varied dramatically between users. Like when I got a 386 around 1990 it had a whooping 40mb of space and 1mb of RAM. It was a lot for the time. We never had to run anything directly off disks. But just 3 years later when Doom came out (and I remember the launch of Doom) i was surprised that we couldn’t have it because it needed 4mbs of RAM. Also our computer wasn’t fast enough anymore so when we DID finally get it years later we needed to use the smaller screen option to get it to run fast enough otherwise it was too choppy to play.

Back in the 90s my friend and I would play Descent against each other via modem. I had a 100Mhz processor, he had a 66Mhz processor. If I came in blasting with a rapid fire weapon his machine couldn’t render fast enough and he’d get blown up.
Descent… man I haven’t played that or magic carpet in ages. I need a trip down memory lane later tonight…
Exactly.
In that sense, ‘pay to win’ has always been a thing lol.
You sound probably a bit older than me, but I can’t tell you how many times in the 90s and early 00s that I legitimately lost games due to having a garbage tier ping to basically everywhere, and a shitty eMachine, and everyone else just acted like none of that mattered and I was just whining.
Then, surprise, me and the online boys all jump into a server where they all have pings of 80, I have a ping of 200, and then they’re all mad that I cant hit anybody because enemies are rubber banding around like fucking DBZ characters for me.

Hehe sounds about right.

dae hate Elon Musk?

Yep. I am smarter than him. So were half the people hurling those insults at me, actually.
Elon is actually quite stupid at everything other than conning people.
Much like Trump.
Sucking at games is not bad. Fucking human lives, exploiting countries, being a Billionaire and a fucking Nazi, is.
of course, but he pretends to be very skilled at this game and has hired people to fake it for him….

AoE2 is one of a small number of video games I can entertain an argument about building an immense skill gulf between average and top tier players, like chess. But the size of that gulf is just incomparable.

GMs are crazy good.

So uhhh How old is Elon?
He’s so smart he thinks 20 moves ahead of his opponent 5 opponents from now before this opponent even knows they are scheduled to play. Thus he’s already won and there is no point scheduling the chess match.
Also 1-0-0 in MMA
he’s like xkcd.com/1112
Yes, but it hurts him emotionally to call him a fake gamer.
It’s not about the game, it just shows how much of a pathetic liar he is. And the length he goes to lie about something stupid like playing video games just shows how far he would go for his actual lies and just shows even more what kind of a sad pathetic human being he is.

Agreed, thinking the world is a simulation or illusion goes back millennia. Most people take that knowledge to mean that it’s a co-op game.
Wasn’t arguing that his believing the world is his playground dismisses the arrogant man child fascist megalomaniac that he is, just stating that he believes that we are all NPCs
It’s not that he’s bad at games, it’s that he used illegal methods to cheat his way into being one of the Top Diablo IV and POE 2 players, and when the devs of the latter called bullshit (Blizzard being the old men who yell at clouds didn’t because they thought being associated with Elon was a positive thing) so he played on a new account to “Prove” he was “Just that good”

100%
Imagine sucking so bad it makes the news.
This is almost as embarrassing as the botched penis enhancement surgery he had.
Dude just can’t win.
Dickless, his kids won’t talk to him, and he sucks st video games?
Dudes gonna off hisself I bet.
Not sure if you’re joking or not about the penis surgery
There are rumors going around from people in his life that he underwent a failed penis enhancement surgery. A lot of people are joking that his dick is mangled or missing but in reality he probably just cannot maintain a natural or medicinal erection due to damage to the blood vessels. He has the money and resources to get a penile implant installed which is basically a fluid sac that fills up with the touch of a sub-dermal button to give someone an erection. He’s got a balloon animal cyborg dick basically. More than likely this makes him completely incapable of impregnating a woman (no muscles to ejaculate sperm with) which is why all of his children are IVF
He also does it to ensure all his kids are XY because he’s a raging sexist, which explains why he’s such a shitheel to Vivian.
It’s a recent rumor on why he does ivf.
The real reason is 100x worse. Elon does IVF because he is a sexist pos that only wants sons and no daughters.
Also why he has such hateful issues with Vivian. Fucker can’t stand the fact that a) he has a daughter and b) reality and people remain uncontrollable even if you’re obscenely rich
So misogynistic cant have daughters. I wouldn’t be surprised is he doesnt touch women cause it gives him hives.
I am not joking.
His dick is mangled. I have it on good authority. A lot of people are saying it. A lot of smart people.
He has less of a penis than a trans man.
This is why he hates trans men so much.
The only way he can disprove it is to show his dick.
Otherwise he might be using “the wrong bathroom”
I honestly have no idea if it’s true. I first heard the rumor around the same time he said x would stop fact checking but whether or not that’s a coincidence is not something i can not say
Ordinarily, this wouldn’t have been such a bad thing, were it not for the fact that he’s desperate to both be seen as an infallible genius, and well liked.
If it was the image people had of him 10 - 20 years ago, him admitting that he likes video games but wasn’t that great at them might have actually helped his image.
If Elon had said he loved PoE2 but he sucks at it because he rarely has time to play then that would have at least aligned with his claims that he works 60 to 80 hours a week. Elon pretending to work 80 hour weeks and also grind 16 hours a day on PoE2 was just insane. He is such an idiot
So that’s why his testosterone is so low and he needed all those hair plugs and face tucks and chin sculpting.
And oil drums full of HGH that ballooned his torso like mister Creosote from Monty Python.
Gender affirmation for Elon not for thee lol
Deep down? To me he’s cringe on the very outside.
Tease!
My heart sank
when I finished reading the title
Talk about bait and switch headline
#MUSK DIES
^(to a video game boss)
Elon Musk is a fake gamer girl
Hahaha, this is too accurate
My wife thinks maybe he has a humiliation kink.
There’s an interesting psychological analysis about musk on a podcast called Psychology in Seattle. They speculate that he is unconconsiously recreating his childhood bullying on twitter due to a psychological phenomenum called “repetition compulsion”. As in, you recreate relationships from childhood to try to have a " corrective experience" to heal the trauma.
This is exactly what Ted Bundy did when his first love dumped him.
He fell for a woman called Diane Edwards while in college, and they dated for about a year. She was everything he thought a woman should be; beautiful, smart, successful, and from a well-off family. She dumped him because she saw him as “pitifully weak”. Psychologists believe, and Bundy himself all but confirmed, that this was the catalyst that would fuel his homicidal rage towards women. It’s also believed that Diane heavily influenced the type of women he killed; young white college students with brown hair parted in the middle. He began killing women the same year Diane dumped him.
Five years later he was married and living a double life as a serial killer. During this time, he sought out and reconnected with Diane behind his wife’s back, and Diane was impressed with his transformation. He was on the cusp of a successful legal and political career, and he seemed a lot more masculine and sure of himself. She was smitten and wanted to pursue the relationship. They even got as far as discussing marriage. That’s when Bundy dumped her and cut off all contact with her, getting his “corrective experience” moment, which clearly did nothing to heal the trauma of rejection that spurred one of the most terrifying episodes of serial murder in history.
Elon Musk doesn’t need to beat the bullies to get closure. He needs therapy. Or rather, he needed therapy, and he needed it many years ago. At this point, he’s in his “dumping Diane” phase, where he’s already hurt so many people and he’s so far gone that no amount of therapy would help him. He’s already too addicted to the monster he’s become to ever want to heal himself. His need to have these corrective experiences, like Bundy with Diane, is strictly to feed the monster’s ego.
That post title really got my hopes up.
