      He secretly paid people to grind his POE2 character to become a top-leveled character and then claimed credit for it. Yes, he is pretending to know what he’s doing.

        “what hes doing” is a downplay, he had some of the best items in the game’s existance and was global top10. He is manipulating for power and status.

        This is what he does, he is not an inventor or somehow smart.

        He pretends and buys. While being able to stop world hunger and us-homelessness without even losing billionaire status

          Just as an aside, that $20bn figure wouldn’t even come close to ending homelessness in the US. That’s just how much it would cost to house the homeless population, which is a bandaid on the issue.

          The US government as a whole needs a major rewrite to actually address the issue. It’s not a situation with a simple solution.

            I agree. Housing is a human right, and any person being homeless is a failure of the political systems they exist within. Homelessness is a crime against humanity. No human being should be denied their own shelter. The US government would allow more people to become homeless if all presently homeless people were housed. It would undeniably be a good thing of Elon Musk did house all the homeless, but without systemic change, we will find ourselves back at Square 1 in 5 or 10 years.

            It is necessary to view and treat shelter as a human right that all people are guaranteed and provided by the system. Much the same as food, potable water, healthcare, and heat.

      I assume “tutorial boss” is the one you’re required to kill on any new character, before you can access the first city, the one that any first time player might have trouble with, but once you’ve done it once it’s never going to take you down again.

      Edit,

      The death in the video they posted was the first “boss” after the first city, also pretty pathetic to lose to, but not a required (tutorial) fight. Seeing his mechanics there it wouldn’t surprise me if the hillock (or whatever his poe2 counterpart is called) killed him.

      Second edit

      Musk died to one of the game’s tutorial bosses due to a bad connection, which subsequently concluded the stream, ending another sad, weird data point in the Elon Musk fake gamer saga.

      The entire thing was a publicity stream for how reliable star link was, seems like if he’s dieing to early game bosses because of connection issues star link might not be suitable for gaming on…

      Last edit, he died 3 times to the tutorial boss, at that point it’s connection issues and lack of skill.

        Read everything you wrote again but realize you’re talking about the wealthiest dude in the world who was hawking his own shit and this was the result.

        He literally has more resources at his disposal than any other human and this is what he produces, I guess as marketing?

        What the fuck is going on?
