ByteOnBikesElon Musk kicked from Path of Exile 2 for 'cheating' weeks after becoming Diablo 4's top player
Well the intern he hired I guess.
Everyone who saw his Elden Ring build he’s as good a videogame player as a father.
Jo MiranLemmy Gold for you.
UltraGiGaGiganticOh shit this is rad as hell
This kicks so much ass!
Even if you tried, it would be hard to come up with a funnier build. Seriously, it’s life imitating art…
Oh how unfair. He busts his ass running 3 companies, running one more company into the ground, running around Trump’s club annoying everyone, arguing with everyone on twitter, attending major events, and he has enough free time left over to gain top 10 skills in multiple video games?
No. He does not. Is he cheating or just lying about everything?
Is he cheating or just lying about everything?
yes.
I dont know about path of exiles, but he exploited a bug that was going around to get that Diablo spot.
Given that in diablo it was a bug, I think thats fair game. But if he’s cheating as in using hacks or whatever, thats hilarious and fucked and he dserves the ban lol.
he
You mean the person he paid
Is he cheating or just lying about everything?
First one, then t’other.
RayquetzalcoatlMy boss still believes he plays a major role in designing the rockets at Space-X. Surprisingly, my boss apparently isn’t a child.
I’m good friends with someone who worked at SpaceX. Apparently he has an entire team of people designated specifically to keeping him away from the engineers. Their entire job is to run interference and keep him distracted, so he can’t go marching into the engineers’ areas and ruin all of their work. Because apparently they have learned that if he is given free reign, he’ll tell the engineers to do a bunch of impossible shit, fire them all when they say they can’t, and then the management is left scrambling to hire new engineers.
agamemnonymousMy only reference is an old reddit thread from someone who claimed to work there, but it exactly corroborates this.
Which is a fun coincidence cos that’s not dissimilar to how my boss “runs” our department lol
da_cow (she/her)That’s quite funny but also very sad.
It would seem cheating
GGG doesn’t fuck around, he was cheating for sure.
the only obvious thing for him to do to correct this heinous wrong is to liquidate everything and try to buy tencent.
Damn, this is how I find out GGG is owned by Tencent? I actually don’t think he has enough wealth in assets (at least that he can liquidate) to actually buy Tencent though for the record
CoskiiYeah, it was a fairly big story in the poe circles when it happened. By the same token, warframe is also owned by tencent.
Is this satire?
I just can’t tell anymore what’s real and what’s not…
Not it legitimately happened and Leon tried to play it off as if it was proof of his high skills, he tweeted how he really was just performing a high number of actions per minute and the game kicked him because of it.
Of course, to literally anyone with the context and a brain can see he’s full of shit.
Musk shared a photo of a disconnected screen from Path of Exile 2. The reason given within the photo was “You have been kicked for performing too many actions too fast.”
Musk wrote, “Wasn’t even using a macro lol.” One user replied “hey give us like 10+ active skills and don’t expect us to hit the buttons?!” To which Musk replied, “Seriously… And the penalty for too many clicks/sec is you get executed immediately! I think this will get patched.”
Gotta love the dicksuckers that come rushing in to find a way to blame the game for offending their lord.
Forbes has time for this wank?
This is Forbes contributor. It’s a blog, not by Forbes staff.
“Wasn’t even using a macro lol.”
No one thought you were using one until you said that
How does he even have time to play games
The same way Trump manages to golf as president.
RenatHe have some much time for posting on twitter cause he don’t have normal job so he have time to play games.
PyrBecause he is a CEO.
CEOs don’t actually do anything, they are just a face. They collect all the money and then fuck off to do whatever they want, which for musk is TV interviews, trump rallies, obsess over Twitter and apparently play video games.
I mean ideally CEOs make informed decisions and have at least a pretty good grasp about what the company does and what could be done to make it better (after listening to people under him). CEOs like Musk are lazy and skip the actual work and make uninformed decisions that hurt the company.
CEOs like that just needs some extra motivation, maybe a 20 mill pay raise will make them work a tiny bit harder
I’m thinking you’ve never been near a CEO for any period of time. It’s a non stop barrage of critical choices with major outcomes. Day and night.
Life is a barrage of critical choices with major outcomes. The ability to make decisions is not a distinguishing trait amongst humans.
True but often do you need to make ones that affect millions of people or involve millions of dollars. It’s not the ability to make decisions. It’s the level of responsibility in those decisions.
What size business? A “CEO” of a company with 20 or so employees is a whole different thing to Musk.
This guy was in my family for a decade during his rice up the ladder. Company he worked when I knew him was over 200k employees. He was VP there but he’s CEO at a different giant company now.
That’s nice, but it’s still only an anecdote and with your proximity to him leads to a bias. What I’ve learned about these people is that their real skill is being a smooth talker. I’ve dealt with business and political types and all the successful ones are smooth talkers. The root word for conman is Confidence, but that confidence doesn’t have to have any backing to it.
Confidence also means they need to have it in you. If you make wrong decisions you won’t be at the top for very long and your company will tank. Not defending CEO’s. Just saying in my experience these people are a different breed and most people would crumble.
Just saying in my experience these people are a different breed and most people would crumble.
That’s called psychopathy.
Yes definately. Most have been found to have toxoplasmosis as well which makes them take more risks.
There are CEOs like that. Then there are CEOs completely reshaping their industry while fighting out what new systems the company needs from scratch. Everyone wants the second kind, but most of then are the first kind, including Elon.
I’ve had his role a couple times on a smaller scale. My job was to make one or two decisions per day, communicate the ideology of why to subordinates, and hold them accountable. I spent tens of hours reasoning why and how, then ten minutes doing the work.
Elon skips the reasoning part. He just spends a few minutes per day communicating nonsense. My favorite line so far is, “We coup who we want.”
He took a break from tweeting all day
x00zWell if you cheat you don’t really need much time to climb to the top.
When you’re that rich, ie the richest person on the planet, time is not a scarcity. His management style is to say do it or your fired. Doesn’t take a lot of time to be a dick to everyone.
To the point where they actively keep him away from the engineers as he keeps demanding impossible things.
He has people. For the wealthy, being busy is a choice. He can decide to disconnect from his duties whenever he wants, because he has entire teams of people who will pick up the slack.
Just wait till this game is free in a half year. It will actually be done at that time
circuitfarmerReally showing off how much work CEOs need to do.
Exactly. This is the first I’ve heard of this (thankfulky, I do try and limit the garbage I read) but no gamer is gonna see a world record holder and not think “that guy must be grinding on Twitch 60 hours a week!” Why wouldn’t they assume he was cheating?
Great. Now he’ll just buy Grinding Gear Games.
Not unless he wants to buy Tencent as well, which is unlikely
Aw shit here we go again. They’re going to call it a foreign owned social media app…
He’s on track to become the world’s first trillion aire, he’s access to the US President’s inner circle and yet he’s just a pitiful excuse of a person
Well, we CAN stop him from becoming a trillionaire - we just need more Luigi’s.
This is going to sound ignorant/stupid, but how is he so rich?
Tesla isn’t a huge car brand compared to the likes of Ford, Renault, Volkswagen, etc. They’re big in the EV space, but we’ve been waiting over a decade for an affordable EV from Tesla and all we’ve got since then is just nonsense. Obviously he’s been getting huge bumps from his position, but how has it only made him so rich? As an aside, how the fuck hasn’t the rest of the Tesla board not sacked him yet?! His last contribution was the Cybertruck, and his next step is literally to suck ALL profit into a dividend payout for himself. What viable business does something this stupid?!
I just don’t get how he’s so rich. In a sane world, the Tesla board would kick him out and put someone more devoted to the brand in charge.
2ugly2liveWhat a fucking loser.
GladaedThis is a standard disconnect. Kicked for performing too many actions may be caused by e.g. lag spikes. This is not a cheating ban, but pointless drama.
