Right, he thinks D4 is a good game and that GTA3-5 are bad.
"Gamer."
I could see him starting a company that uses "AI" (really just standard procedurals cranked to 11) to make infinite ARPG slop levels and slop monsters. It could even be playable, but I can't imagine it being great.
Let's be honest, he probably paid someone who works for him to farm all the gear required to do that ladder run on stream.

He doesn't need to be a "gamer". He can definitely hire the right people, he's shown with his other 3 industry disrupting businesses. All we need is a financer who knows how to say "go fuck yourself".
I'm team musk on this one, even if he does have awful taste in games. I have a lot of friends who play horrible games but have based views otherwise.

I played through the D4 campaign and spent about 4 hours playing after that before completely dropping it. I don't regret my purchase and enjoyed the time I spent playing it.
D4 is a good, but not great game. It lacks the depth and complexity necessary to keep people's interest after they complete the campaign, but it's an incredible game for someone like Musk who has 50 jobs, 700 kids, and sparse free time.
He's exactly the stereotypical middle-aged dad the game works for.

Its a lowest common denominator D3 reskin. Its a terrible game.
Also 50 jobs, 700 kids and... #1 on the D4 leaderboard?
Good post.

If he makes a good game that's a good thing. But I'm not going to buy it sight unseen in the hopes of helping Musk like people who buy Trump stuff he puts out like shoes "to help Trump". I don't get that at all. Him being a huge D4 fan may just mean we will have to agree to disagree on what makes a great game.

He's back down at #46 as of this post. You keep pushing 24/7 or you slip down, and he does have "50 jobs".

He plays D4 to relieve stress, and he's one of those guys who sleeps 3-4 hours a day tops. He said that, when you play D4 at that level, you can't use your brain for anything else, and that's why he does it. Brain cleanser.

I'll never understand why people hate Elon with such a passion. There are plenty of rich assholes in the world. Why the mention of his name bends people over backwards will forever be a mystery to me. Unless we're just going to come right out and say that this shit didnt start until the same media companies we all hate started plastering hateful rhetoric towards him on every fucking front page news. But that would be to obvious and draw attention to how easily manipulated some people are.

It’s just Trump Derangement Syndrome hating Elon by association. Elon Derangement Syndrome.I'll never understand why people hate Elon with such a passion.

Just watch MSM talking about how they don’t think billionaires should have influence in politics all of a sudden. They were totally fine with Zuckerberg directly fucking with an election, fine with Bezos’s WaPo posting complete bullshit day after day, fine with George Soros, Rothschild, Koch’s, Gates, and on and on. Once a billionaire goes against the narrative, suddenly it’s a problem and threat to democracy.
The dude is driving their lame EV agenda harder than anyone else on the planet, getting internet to the entire underdeveloped world, making space travel likely within our lifetimes, but since he goes against mind control propaganda, he’s the devil.
My favorite talking point they keep parroting is “no one elected him”. No shit? You mean like the entire swath of alphabet agencies that are bogging us down in wars and regulations no one wants? Go fuck yourselves. I hope MSM as a whole dies a horrible death.

Nobody in here was spewing anti-Elon rhetoric. Just laughing at D4 and the idea that he's gaming's savior when he loves a game that is legitimately bad. Then the people who idolize him get upset that not everyone blindly worships him like they do. It's fucking weird how so many people here literally worship the guy.

To be fair, there were Elon fans and Elon haters long before he aligned himself with Trump. Of course once he did, all the NPCs became Elon haters.
The richest guy in the world. People "have an opinion" about him just to demonstrate that they know stuff. Its really not that deep.

Its pretty obvious to see through the veil of "Well I hate Elon, but I know what forum Im on" in the last page. If this was really just about picking on D4, then we should be talking about Xi Xing Ping Pao or whatever other fucking asian fuck is in 1st place right now. What I thought was interesting about it is that he has 700 kids, 50 jobs and still made time to get to that spot. Apparently everyone can get to the number one spot because LAWL D4 EZ - but only because Elon did it. Such a fucking jerk off competition every time his name is mentioned and I just dont get it.
