Grok 2 Did Elon Musk really play his PoE 2 character to level 97 or did he have someone play it for him? 13 posts PC: EP 15 web pages CAMER The question of whether Elon Musk genuinely played his Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) character to level 97 or had someone else do it has sparked significant discussion within the gaming community. Here's an analysis based on available information: Evidence Suggesting Musk Did Not Play the Character Himself: • Gameplay Inconsistencies: During a livestream on January 7, 2025, Musk showcased gameplay with a level 95 hardcore character, which he claimed to have leveled himself. However, observers noted several inconsistencies. Musk displayed a lack of understanding of basic game mechanics, such as misinterpreting item levels versus required levels, which would be fundamental knowledge for someone who achieved level 97. He also seemed unfamiliar with map interactions and item management, indicating a gap in gameplay experience that would be unusual for a high-level player. PC PC • Stash Tab Naming: A suspicious element was a stash tab named "Elon's map," suggesting that someone else might have prepared the gameplay for Musk, making it easier for him to pretend he was at that level of play without the risk of immediate character death. PC PC • Community and Expert Analysis: Several high-profile PoE 2 players and streamers, like Quin69TV, Asmongold, and others, have openly questioned Musk's claims. They argue that the gameplay shown did not match the skill level required to reach such a high level in hardcore mode, where one mistake can end the character's life. These analyses have led to widespread skepticism about Musk's involvement in leveling the character. • Reputation for Boosting: Musk has been accused in the past of boosting or having others play for him in other games like Diablo 4, which adds to the skepticism surrounding his PoE 2 achievements. F Counterpoints or Evidence Supporting Musk's Claim: • No Direct Proof of Cheating: While there's significant circumstantial evidence, no definitive proof exists that Musk did not play the character himself. Musk has not offered any detailed explanation or defense for his gameplay, leaving his involvement ambiguous. • Time and Dedication: Reaching level 97 in PoE 2's hardcore mode does require immense dedication. Musk, despite his busy schedule, could theoretically have found time to play, but this seems improbable given his other commitments. PC Conclusion: From the evidence and expert opinions available, it seems more likely that Elon Musk did not personally play his character to level 97 in Path of Exile 2. The community's reaction, combined with the analysis of his gameplay, leans heavily toward the conclusion that his character might have been boosted by someone else. However, without explicit confirmation or denial from Musk, and in the absence of concrete evidence, this remains speculative. The skepticism primarily stems from the observed gameplay and the practicalities of achieving such a high rank given Musk's public commitments.

Elon Musk hosted a "test stream" of X's live-streaming capabilities on January 7th by showing him playing his high ranking _Path of Exile 2_ character. After his character died, Musk posted a screenshot of the _Path of Exile 2_ leaderboard, saying "About 40% of players on the hardcore ladder are dead."
