Gamers and streamers question the authenticity of Musk's claim to high rankings as evidence of account sharing and lack of gameplay knowledge emerges.
- Elon Musk claimed to have reached Level 97 in the hardcore mode of Path of Exile 2, a feat requiring significant skill and time investment.
- During a livestream on January 7, Musk's gameplay raised suspicions due to his lack of familiarity with basic mechanics and errors inconsistent with an experienced player.
- Prominent streamers, including Asmongold and Quin69TV, accused Musk of account sharing or paying others to grind on his behalf, citing inconsistencies in his performance and account activity.
- Analysis from the gaming community highlighted discrepancies, such as advanced gear unlikely to be self-earned and gameplay data suggesting activity from outside Musk's usual location.
