- verdverm 2y agoI don't think the issue is that it is video games as much as that he is willing to be so inauthentic and lie about something as mundane as how good one is at a video game It points to the character of Elon
- apothegm 2y agoOh, I agree he’s a lying, self-aggrandizing schmuck. I just don’t get why video game skill is so important to his image in the first place to be worth lying about.
- johnneville 2y agoI care about the dishonesty not his skill at video games. I care about the dishonesty because via his influence with Trump and at DOGE, what he thinks and does impacts me as someone living the US.

- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoI think it’s that he was getting undeserved credit and popularity in that community for allegedly being one of the best players in the world. It would be shocking in general for any high level executive to be a leader in a video game, but especially him given all the companies he runs. So this bought him a lot of credibility, especially when he was live streaming. But it turned out he just paid someone to build up his characters to insane levels, which was very deceptive.
