Elon Musk in Path of Exile 2 – Pro Gamer or Boosted?

In just a few days, Musk allegedly reached rank 59 in the Hardcore League, having lost several characters before that, and then climbed back up to rank 21 (09/01 was placed in this position) with a new one. All this while managing his business empire and remaining the most active user on Twitter.

Musk, the evidence is damning

• When out of mana, he waits over 10 seconds instead of using a mana flask.
• He doesn’t seem to understand that he can only run connected Atlas nodes, despite his characters being at a level that requires hundreds of completed maps.
• He picks up loot by dragging & dropping it into his inventory, seemingly unaware of faster methods.
• He struggles with inventory management and doesn’t understand why he can’t pick up more items.
• He questions why his gear is “low level” because it’s level 65, failing to understand the difference between item level and required level.
• His maps are stored in a stash tab labeled “Elon’s Maps”, which makes no sense if he were truly playing solo.

The cherry on top

• When players whispered his account for trades, the responses appeared in Chinese.
• His trade stash reportedly had tab names in Chinese, suggesting someone else is managing the account.
• His trade listings mysteriously disappeared once the controversy started gaining traction.
• His progression speed is insanely unrealistic, especially for someone supposedly running multiple companies and tweeting 200+ times a day.

So, what’s the verdict?

Either Musk has secretly developed the first-ever Neuralink for gaming…
Or someone else is playing for him.
Take your pick.
