Path of Exile 2 / Ілон Маск
Elon Musk decided to play Path of Exile 2 on a stream and something went really wrong.
Instead of an easy game and accompanying jokes, the chat made fun of the billionaire who lost to the entry-level boss. Moreover, he lost twice, so users were savoring his loss.
On April 6, Musk launched a PoE 2 stream from a private jet. And everything could have been beautiful — elite technology, premium connection, and a game between business flights. His first opponent was the Devourer, who is an optional boss in the first act. Those who have played — know how to defeat him: Move, dodge the tail, clean up the larvae. But Musk died quickly.
The second attempt was also unsuccessful — he was eaten by the Bloated Miller. After that, Musk began to have problems with his connection, and the audience in the chat opened a portal to hell: memes, jokes, and hate were pouring in.
It is quite normal to lose to the boss, but Musk has a bright history with PoE 2, so it only took one careless step for the audience to troll him. The billionaire has previously admitted that used a boost — allowed others to play on their account to rise in the rankings. At the same time, Musk claimed that he plays on streams himself.
The community, of course, did not ignore this. Users in Reddit quickly began to mock, but some (sarcastically) supported Musk: «To be honest, the tutorial boss is not that easy if you’ve never played an ARPG before».
«You know what, maybe we’ve been too harsh on GGG, we get to bully billionaires twice now and no other game has allowed us to do that so far», — writes user.
Another user he continued: «I think we need to bring back Quake tournaments so we can embarrass him for the 3rd time». In addition, a popular streamer reacted to Musk’s stream Quin69TV who said that he could not pass Act 1 without serious help. In his opinion, Elon simply doesn’t understand the mechanics of the game and doesn’t show any progress despite all his attempts.
Recently, Musk has been trolled by the gaming community. In addition to the Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4 scandals, Ubisoft has recently mocked him. The billionaire criticized the quality of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, а Ubisoft reminded him that the cheater. It would seem that the scandals should have subsided for a while, but suddenly Musk’s daughter called him «horrible shit» in Overwatch. There have been a lot of such cases lately, but users seem to like it.
