He has a history of lying and making exaggerated claims. Back in 2016 he was selling this lie that by 2018 you'd be able to summon your car from New York to Los Angeles autonomously [0]. Well, it's 2025 and he still hasn't done anything even close to that, not even as a proof of concept. If their autopilot is actually that great, prove it by having the car autonomously drive from one end of the country to the other, even if it's done under supervision. Most recently, Elon has been caught lying about something as petty as being good at a game called Path of Exile 2. He pays someone to boost his account to a really high level in hardcore, and then pilots it for a few minutes on a livestream. Something has to be wrong with him, to think that he can fool people into thinking that he somehow grinds insane hours as CEO of multiple companies while somehow also grinding the insane number of hours that it would take to reach the top of the leaderboards in PoE2. There's just not enough hours in the day... If someone is willing to lie and cheat over something as mundane as a video game ranking, do you really think he wouldn't lie about something when there are significant resources on the line?

The hardcore poe2 ladder is hardly mundane. It is literally one of the most difficult things in all of CRPG gaming. Ever! Aside from it being extremely competitive, you have to be a master at market exploitation, probabilities, gameplay mechanics, UI ergonomics, personal discipline, and more, to be top 10 material. Or at least any 80% of those. He picked the wrong hive to assimilate. I’m holding out hope that he will come around. Maybe he will need to take a crash course in advanced POE gaming, Billy Madison style, and apologize for hopefully the right reasons. But he’s in even bigger trouble now it seems. Elon has now retaliated against Asmongold, leaking private DMs and taking away his checkmark. Elon needs to get himself under control as this could get much worse. It’s an embarrassment to the country, frankly. Imagine if this had happened in October instead.
