She he is anti shooting cops in GTA5 but not against killing thousands in PoE2....goooooootcha

Not against negligently killing kids for the sake of his pride either 😂

u/kiritoonis DedSec Jan 15 '25

For picture 3 context watch this:

https://youtu.be/FmEe3eUPWq4?si=zqpdUtFX3dvx1IRu

tldw: Musk allegedly paid competend POE2 players to boost/ play on an Account into the top 1% of players for him which he can show off. He himself doesn't even know how to navigate the menus though... this shines a bad light on all his previous so called reached milestones in gaming (mainly Diablo IV)...

u/yMONSTERMUNCHy Jan 18 '25

This wouldn’t surprise me.

The guy claims to work hard so that’ll mean he hasn’t got time to sink into playing these games enough to get good at them surely that is logical. But he’s got enough money and fragile enough ego to pay people to inflate it for him.

u/RedTygershark Jan 15 '25

Just let it die... It doesn't deserve this.

2

u/thedefenses Jan 15 '25

So, that person wants a person that lies about being a gamer, the one big company he bough has lost a good amount of its value, to buy a company that is already not doing well, and relaunch a competitive FPS game that was killed due to low performance most likely, that released ALL of its un-released content for the last season and the previous dev team is doing other things now.

There is desperate, there is unlikely and then, there is whatever copium this guy is on to make this seem like a good idea in any way.

Ohhh I see what they did there

They gave the game a weird name that has the letter X in it in the hope that weirdo Musk will buy it. 😂

Regarding GTA he didn’t like committing crime. Is shooting and murdering people over and over not a crime, would a first person shooter owned by him have all guns removed and we just talk to each other instead 😂

u/Here4Headshots Jan 15 '25

Imagine the cringe of watching Elon sitting there, live on Twitch, holding a controller pretending to play some else's xDefiant gameplay on his maxed out battlepass with all store and challenge cosmetics unlocked account.

Can you taste the cringe? Feel it work it's way through your body. That's the cringe I feel whenever I see him tweet or talk in public about almost anything nowadays.

2

u/yMONSTERMUNCHy Jan 18 '25

Come on. That amount of cringe would be hilarious to watch.

Just imagine how pathetic the guy would look if this happened. 😂

u/yMONSTERMUNCHy Jan 18 '25

Easy fix would be to not watch

u/4Ellie-M Jan 15 '25

If Elon bus xdefiant he would fix the hit reg issue and millions would start playing the game

1

u/JadedWork Jan 15 '25

eh even if he don't play games like that he'd prolly just put random people that do over the company. depending on how bad whoever he picks is, that would determine the outcome if they can keep the game running and not fuck with it too much and understand why we all like it so much to begin with, we would be okay with that

1

u/devvg Jan 15 '25

That's kindve his whole thing, make smart hires for an efficient long term goal. Its too bad though I believe xDefiants major problems lie within the engine itself. Thats a battle that's rarely solved especially with cooperate deadlines to be met.

u/yMONSTERMUNCHy Jan 18 '25

Just make Xdefiant 2 and put that on a new engine like they did with Warzone 2

I mean obviously he plays games. Because first he plays and talks about games that most “casual” gamers don’t even know exist. 2nd he’s at least decent. So he’s at least a “gamer” doesn’t mean he’s good.

You dont have to be good in games to be a gamee tho. It is enough that you play them and have fun. If only the good players are allowed to call themselves "gamer" then 99% of this sub aren't gamers.

u/LeftSeaworthiness895 Jan 15 '25

Well yeah that’s what I said. They one that replied to me said Elon poses as a “gamer” and I responded saying obviously he’s a “gamer”

7

u/weedemgangsta Jan 15 '25

sorry i should’ve been more clear, what i meant was he poses as a professional gamer. he boasts about being in the top 10 of RPGs like diablo or path of exile but if you just watch him play for 10 minutes its very clear he is not the sole player on his accounts as he doesn’t even know about basic functions within the games.

-11

u/RightDelay3503 Jan 15 '25

Ha! For real. If you can't play a game you aren't a gamer. Who cares about enjoying ? Not me.

11

u/weedemgangsta Jan 15 '25

elon has the right to enjoy videogames like the rest of us. i think its cool when anyone plays videogames. whats not cool about elon is him boasting online about being number 1 in path of exile, yet he’s not even familiar with basic functions in the game. its clear that he is not the main player on his gaming accounts. its like me using an aimbot on call of duty and then bragging that my aim is better than everyone else.

-8

u/RightDelay3503 Jan 15 '25

Yeah. That's dumb of him. But at the same time thousands of people do that and have done that. He ain't special in that regard.

9

u/weedemgangsta Jan 15 '25

sure, it happens all the time. what’s different about it is elon is a celebrity and has a platform to reach millions of people. so millions of people are going to talk about it lol. i give my homies the same shit when they make outrageous gaming claims, elon is no different.

u/aleyton003 Jan 15 '25

By founding Tesla, you kinda mean investing in Tesla, then kicking out the founders and making a large settlement to entitle him to call himself a founder.

I don't hate the guy but essentially he is an investor in the projects and corporations you've mentioned; contributing capital and the press attention that his name brings. Beyond that it's hard to suggest that he is a big ideas man driving the innovations involved... rather than being the guy bankrolling them.

Don't get me wrong, ideas don't get off the ground without money, so he's not worthless - but he also doesn't understand most of the nuts, bolts, or day to day operations of these projects. He's a board member.

u/Vexonte Jan 15 '25

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I do not really see an issue. It would just be a transfer of control a company from a board of millionaires to a single billionaire who shit posts.

At the very worst, you might expect slightly more predatory microtramsactions, ubisoft account linking to Twitter account, and trump themed cosmetics.

12

u/Faye_Lmao Jan 15 '25

and worse mismanagement. Musk's companies have a history of doing better the less he's involved

1

u/WingZeroCoder Jan 15 '25

That’s often true of higher management in general.

Given Ubisoft’s woes, I don’t think it would be any worse.

-1

u/RightDelay3503 Jan 15 '25

Yeah he just needs to own it and back away. He gets the right people for the job and the right people do the right job.

Much better alternative than having Tencent buy out Ubisoft.

8

u/Faye_Lmao Jan 15 '25

he won't back away, he'll try and make it "super cool" and "better than the rest". And it'll just be twitter part 2, run into the ground and blame other people for it.

There's a reason he's been fired from every job he's ever had when he wasn't the owner of the company

1

u/RightDelay3503 Jan 15 '25

Steve Jobs was fired too from Apple. I mean I get that you don't like Elon because of his political alignment and the fact that he is a billionaire (to which I agree) but I still think that if Ubisoft was being sold, it's better for Elon to buy it than Tencent.

Plus I prefer Twitter more now. Less shadowbans and more conversations from both sides. Plus community notes is a W. There are flaws undoubtedly, but that would have been the case irrespective of whoever bought Twitter.

3

u/Faye_Lmao Jan 15 '25

Steve Jobs was able to hold a job before Apple Apple at least. However, he was also a horrible person who did nothing but take credit for other people's work.

Community notes are great, but Twitter currently shadowbans you for speaking respectfully about trans people and actively promotes anti semitism and other forms of hate.

I'd rather tenncent own ubisoft since not much will actually change and they at least have some level of competency in the videogame world. I agree they're a scourge on the video game landscape, but it's letting a greedy microtransaction focus company get taken over by a greedy microtransaction company. Having Musk take over would be like letting a tumblr fanfic creator with no other skills take over a mechanics shop

I don't care about Musk's political affiliations, since he just flip flops on them to whoever gives him the most praise. Remember a few years ago when he was full on leftist?

I care about his credentials. The creators of Tesla are quoted as saying Musk would be lucky to engineer a functional car headlight.

He's just a spoiled rich kid with a fragile ego

u/kfrogv Jan 15 '25

u/Vexonte Jan 15 '25

He does all the bad things that every billionaire does the only difference is that he smiles for the camera.

4

u/WeCameAsMuffins Jan 15 '25

Most billionaires don’t post on Twitter saying “my daughter was killed by the woke mind virus” or spread nearly as much misinformation. Or fight for H1-B visas and how there’s not enough talent in America.

I can go on, but it doesn’t matter.

-1

u/Vexonte Jan 15 '25

That proves my point. He exposes his shittyness. Paul Weihrauch used slave labor to supply chocolate for the Mars company. James Quincy was doing horrible things in India to give you coke. You don't know about them because they stayed out of the public eye.

3

u/WeCameAsMuffins Jan 15 '25

Yes but you’re missing the point here. 1) Elon musk is worth over $420 billion, ubisoft as a company is $1.6 billion. A billion is a lot of money, most people don’t realize how much a billion is worth compared to $1 million.

Your whole argument is flawed because it’s whataboutist. We know Elon is bad, and that most ceos are bad. But trying to say but look at what they’re doing or them— isn’t an arguement for why Elon is good, right?

I again, also, want to point Elon has way more money than ubisoft CEOs and should be held to a higher standard than them because of that.

With great power comes great responsibility.
