    We’ve had GamerGate, we’ve had GamerGate 2.0 with SBI…

    Will we get ElonGamerGate?

    I cannot believe how stupid this is, but its quite clear that stupid bullshit drama about videogames and the surrounding commentary community … is actually a major force in shaping the politics of people roughly under 40.

      It’s definitely an odd one, but hey, if Path of Exile is the thing that gets many people to go “hey, he’s a liar”, I’ll certainly take it.

      More than happy to see this story spread, as it’s hilarious enough to spread virally, but also makes Musk look pathetic and like a compulsive liar.

      I mean, seriously, he’s the richest man on earth, why is his ego so fragile as to need to “prove” himself as a gamer, and to need to prove that so badly as to take a risk like faking that accomplishment live.
