Elon Musk has openly admitted to secretly boosting his Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 characters, potentially using real money trading for gear. A new video featuring DMs with Musk revealed that he had permission to share his gaming prowess, or lack thereof.
In the conversation, Musk was asked if he had ever level-boosted accounts or purchased gear/resources for PoE2 and Diablo 4. He responded, “It’s impossible to beat players in Asia if you don’t.” Musk has stated on his streams that he is the one playing, but acknowledges that high-level gameplay is like “Cookie Clicker” compared to his actual skill.
When questioned about taking credit for his characters’ progress, Musk said it was not his intention and that multiple people play accounts to win leveling races. However, he did pose as a top gamer and positioned himself as one of the best in the world.
The admission raises questions about Musk’s gaming habits and whether he is being transparent about his skills. As someone who has been involved in the video game industry for over 10 years, it’s worth exploring this further to see if there are any implications for the gaming community.
