    What a loser.

    I totally understand people who use cheat engine or similar to break games and to have fun seeing what they can do. Skipping content. Whatever.

    But those that cheat to be able to boast… pathetic.

    And then he’s like “well, everyone’s doing it.” 🙄

    Man who never earned anything a day in his life continues streak by not earning video game achievements.

      What do Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning have to do with Elon lying about having mad gaming skills?

        Because it’s the same thing. He’s boasting about other people’s achievement. He gives them money and pretends he did it.

        It shows you a trend. What other things has he lied about?? He knows more about manufacturing than anyone else… Look at the POS cybertruk

        Full self driving will be here next year… Yep 2016 is here and gone, no FSD…

        Starship will get us to the mars…

        The manchild is a compulsive liar and a fucking Nazi

    Not many individuals manage to form a stain of shame on their related species. I guess he is, indeed, remarkable in that way.

    I just remembered that Grimes came out defending him on this topic.

    Or did I fall for a meme/shitpost?

      He needs to pretend to be a top tier gamer to win the affection of internet strangers because he craves validation and attention.

      Natural born grifter and liar.

        To me the reality of it is so damn stupid, If this were back to lying about quake, that’s one thing. He’s claiming on games with continual progression however. Of which even if you have amazing skill, it’s meaningless without time. IE it would be well understood that if someone is in those leaderboards legitimately, they’ve been living the NEET lifestyle (IE spending almost all waking hours playing the game), not say… on a nation tour following around a presidential candidate, while also forming a new government consulting group, spending considerable time on twitter as a user… and being a micromanaging incompetent CEO at 4+ companies.

    Just excuses. Not like I care, but he’ll never actually own up to this or apologize for being rude to people who called him out.
