Elon, you don't need to apologize for anything.

You've shown the people you were trying to impress, exactly who you are. A liar, a cheat, a pay2win newb pretending to be hot shit but failing terribly on it, the worst kind of gamer that most gamers have encountered.

We don't know that, it's not like he is out there publicly doing Nazi salutes in front of thousands ...

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 67 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Exactly! All the Respectable News Outlets®©™ have said he just has an awkward wave! Nothing to see here!

Do believe it was thrice

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 12 points 2 days ago

It was just an awkward wave! And you might have heard him say Sieg Heil, but he was just awkwardly sneezing, he's just a silly awkward boi.

I see we've hit the "it wasn't that big a deal" part of the Narcissist's Prayer.

And if it was, it's the dems fault for not having a good enough platform to avoid this

He should deal with his accounts being banned, because account sharing is against the tos in both games.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 48 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I suspect neither company wants to piss him off, but holy shit, that would be *chefskiss*

[–] Carbonizer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

GGG is based out of New Zealand, they don't have to care about any political ramifications unlike Actiblizz

[–] ech@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What did I say to suggest it had anything to do with politics?

[–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

For what reasons other than political would blizzard want to stay on his good side? Or do you think Elon's money in the cosmetic store would just be that valuable to them?

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 110 points 2 days ago (1 children)

New title: Rich guy who has bought his way into everything in his life admits to buying his way into boosting his accounts, internet expresses great lack of surprise.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You forgot: expresses a complete lack of moral capacity to understand why he should feel bad about it.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 97 points 2 days ago (13 children)

I am so fucking sick of hearing about this twat in every corner of my life.

If he lies about this then what else does he lie about?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Like Donald Trump, I just assume he's lying if sounds are coming out of his mouth.

He lost the benefit of the doubt in 2018 when he falsely accused a rescue worker of being a pedophile.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What's crazy is that he seemed kind of normal beforehand.

[–] TurtleSoup@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unchecked drug use will do that to ya. Dude was geeked out of his skull at the inauguration.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh I mean calling that diver a pedophile. That seemed like the first crack and now he's naziing at people

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 3 points 20 hours ago

He got out in front of his PR operation on that one, but a lot of leftists had him pegged long before that incident. It was obvious that he was funding an astroturf campaign to deify himself, and he has always been rabidly aggressive to worker's rights.

[–] TurtleSoup@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Oh yea. That's about when I realized that Musk is a man child and has a temper tantrum when he's not the center of attention.

"What would I be appologizing for?"

Just one thing, lying and claiming that you accomplished the progress in the games yourself.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 11 points 2 days ago

What cracks me up is I prefer pve. I like cooperative play but not really competitive play in games. It always seemed to me the pvp community had so many people looking to get an advantage or were ok with cheating. Funny thing is it does not even matter if you cheat in pve as its just your own gameplay. I mean like in doom I would do the full map cheat when I got to the exit to go back and get everything but I did not want it till I got through the level. I mean its still cheating but there is a reason I did not use the unlimited ammo or health or such codes.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's interesting that his thought process is, "It's not cheating, everyone does it which means this is fine!"

I mean, the thought process he's admitting to here is interesting in light of Trump thanking Musk for "He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide."

[–] ech@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

Not exactly "interesting" - he's just deeply narcissistic. Here's a handy guide:

"That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

(Current story sits here)

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it."

Most certainly, "everyone" does not feel compelled to pay people to have fun for them.

Don’t care if he doesn’t feel bad about it, I know he sucks, fucking poser

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

He was playing using a neuralink prototype, that's why he looked as if he was abusing ketamine
