In a recent livestream, Elon Musk attempted to showcase his skills in Path of Exile 2, but things didn’t go as planned. After repeatedly dying to a tutorial boss, he became the subject of ridicule among viewers, leading to an unexpected turn of events that entertained everyone.
Musk, known for his leadership roles in various high-profile companies, occasionally finds time for gaming. Previously regarded as one of the top players in Diablo 4, his reputation was called into question when accusations arose suggesting he might not be candid about his achievements. The saga intensified when he admitted to receiving help to excel in Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4.
On April 6, 2025, during a “Starlink airborne continuity test,” Musk streamed his gameplay on X with little commentary. Viewers quickly noted that despite claiming expertise, he struggled considerably through the early sections of the game.
Dying multiple times while playing in Hardcore mode forced him to create new characters repeatedly. Other players seized this opportunity to flood chat with messages poking fun at him, with one particularly harsh comment declaring he “has no friends.” Such exchanges only added fuel to the humor surrounding the situation.
The stream concluded abruptly when yet another death occurred during a boss fight. Just before disconnecting due to high ping issues, Musk expressed frustration by stating, “Connection lost.” Following this mishap, social media erupted with reactions mocking or sympathizing with him.
While many viewers enjoyed teasing Musk’s performance, some reminded everyone that navigating Path of Exile 2‘s hardcore setting can be daunting—even for seasoned gamers. A player commented on social media that recent updates had significantly altered game balance: “To be fair, they just patched the game recently, which made it a lot tougher for many classes.” This indicates even someone like Musk faces challenges under such conditions.
