Twitch streamer Quin69 has raised eyebrows regarding Elon Musk’s authenticity as a skilled player in the action role-playing game (ARPG) Path of Exile 2. The streamer alleges that Musk may not be as proficient as he claims, suggesting that the billionaire relies on the efforts of a more experienced player to achieve his gaming successes.
Musk, who has established a reputation for enjoying ARPGs, including Diablo 4, has broadcasted live streams where he showcases his gaming skills while engaging with his various business interests. As the gaming landscape evolves, especially with the emergence of Path of Exile 2 as a noteworthy contender to Diablo 4, Musk has recently shifted his focus to streaming this title.
Allegations of Account Sharing
Quin69 speculates that Musk might be funding someone to “pilot his account,”thereby circumventing the grind typically associated with high-level gameplay. By permitting another player to handle the more challenging aspects of Path of Exile 2, Musk can enjoy a more casual gaming experience while still taking credit for the outcome during his streams.
In Quin69’s perspective, “I don’t believe it’s his default character. I think he’s got a default fully piloted, bro. I think he gets someone to pilot the account fully, and then he just logs in and plays every now and then.” He elaborated that during Musk’s streams, a concerning pattern emerges; Musk often appears to struggle with the game’s more advanced mechanics, raising questions about his gaming expertise.
Quin69 pointed out significant gameplay missteps, stating, “He’s running past Chaos Orbs. He literally has no idea what he’s doing. This is straight-up account sharing.” He highlighted that Musk’s seemingly random navigation through maps indicates a lack of familiarity with the game’s requirements and mechanics, making his gameplay look suspicious. “He was just clicking the map repeatedly. He was clearly not eligible to access that map. That was giga-suss,” Quin69 added.
Though Quin69 concedes that Musk seems to possess some understanding of the game, he believes that it is unlikely Musk plays at an endgame level. “He’s clearly played and understands the mechanics, though, but you’re not playing to this point in the game and leaving Chaos Orbs on the ground,” he stated.
Interestingly, some critics of Quin69 have accused him of harboring envy toward Musk’s wealth and platform. However, responses in a Reddit discussion among Path of Exile players largely support Quin69’s stance, asserting that Musk’s gameplay does not reflect the skill he projects.
Musk’s Authenticity in Gaming
In further commentary on Musk’s gameplay, Quin69 expressed his frustration over the billionaire’s portrayal of his skill level. “It would be so much cooler if he was just in the campaign, just kind of learning the game. I’d relate to that so much more,” he said. He criticized Musk’s tendency to boast about being the best during a podcast appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, especially when the reality of his gameplay seems less impressive, claiming, “He’s passing it off like he is playing when he’s clearly not anywhere near as good as he says.”
Quin69’s closing thoughts reflect on Musk’s motivations for maintaining this facade, suggesting, “Who is he convincing? Why does he need to do this? He’s killing the fun of the game for himself and for what? To just say he’s good at the game? It’s just cringe.” He questions the logic of misleading viewers and the potential disappointments that arise when reality contradicts self-proclaimed proficiency.
As the discussion continues around the legitimacy of Musk’s gaming achievements, only future streams may reveal the truth behind his Path of Exile 2 skills, and if Quin69’s claims hold ground.
