I was really excited to read the start of that headline.
Elon Musk was caught on the street and beaten to death...
me2. its like seeing a donald trump is dying to eat bigmacs headline.
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.
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.
Elon Musk dies….
Tease!
My heart sank
when I finished reading the title
Sucking at games is not bad. Fucking human lives, exploiting countries, being a Billionaire and a fucking Nazi, is.
Yes, but it hurts him emotionally to call him a fake gamer.
Elon Musk is a fake gamer girl
Hahaha, this is too accurate
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.
So that's why his testosterone is so low and he needed all those hair plugs and face tucks and chin sculpting.
Dude just can’t win.
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.
“Elon, deep down you will always be cringe no matter how much money or power you have.”
Deep down? To me he's cringe on the very outside.
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.
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
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.
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’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.
Never before have I so wished for a sentence to end earlier.
~~Dogshit~~ dogeshit
Misleading headline.
Emphasis mine:
Musk died to one of the game’s tutorial bosses due to a bad connection
Not due to being bad at the game, as the title implies. It doesn't refute the core "message" of the facts, but I despise clickbait headlines.
He just claimed it was a bad connection. It definitely wasn't if you watched the stream. What makes this even funnier is that it was supposed to be a demonstration for Starlink and he ended up shitting on it because he couldn't handle the defeat.
Heh, that is even better. His ego wouldn't let him blame himself instead of the service he was purposely trying to promote... leading to him doing the opposite.
Bad connection, eh? Either Starlink is crap and prone to bad connections... or not even its owner uses it.
Imagine sucking so bad it makes the news.
That post title really got my hopes up.
