Elon Musk throws tantrum after being exposed by gamers, leaks YouTuber's DMs and seemingly takes away his checkmark

Citiraj:

Professional manchild and Tesla billionaire Elon Musk is deeply unhappy that he's been caught faking clout — and now he's throwing a tantrum, taking away the toys of other tykes who were mean to him. And no, this isn't some far-fetched analogy. Earlier this month, Musk compellingly accused of masquerading as a top-level player of the recently released free-to-play action RPG Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) by paying a skilled gamer to level up a character to the top game's top echelons.

During a January 7 livestream on X-formerly-Twitter, the platform's owner struggled with the very basics of the game, failing to even reliably click certain UI elements. In other words, there was no chance this was the same gamer who'd been controlling a character that would've required many hundreds of hours of grinding to level up. Then the character mysteriously perma-died, sparking conspiracy theories that Musk had killed it due to his own incompetence.

Some of the game's most well-known players mocked his ruse extensively on social media, calling him out for a bizarre "ego-trip." Now, Musk has seemingly had enough of being made fun of. In an apparent attempt to silence his critics, the richest man in the world took aim at American YouTuber Zack Hoyt, a streamer who goes by the handle Asmongold. Earlier this week, Hoyt published a 32-minute video on YouTube, discussing how Musk won't be "getting away" with parading as a top-level gamer — one of countless takedowns of the billionaire's childish antics on the video platform.

Days later, Musk took to X-formerly-Twitter, sharing screenshots of DMs between him and the controversial streamer, a privacy-invading practice that — as a Community Note appended to his tantrum points out — is "generally against the platform's Terms of Service (ToS)." Hoyt's blue check mark on the platform — a symbol that used to show someone's identity had been verified, but which Musk degraded to something anyone can get for a monthly fee, with disastrous results — also vanished.

Bokte, Asmongold i hrpa gamera budu dokrajčili Elona, a ovaj ne kuži kome točno se zamjeril s ovim pizdarijama.
