“This sounds like a middle-schooler giving a book report on a book they’ve never read,” said one comment under a YouTube video of Elon Musk’s gameplay. The public spat led to an avalanche of comments that labelled Musk a “man-child” and lampooned his “fragile ego,” while many previous fans added that the billionaire had lost their trust.The brouhaha punctures Elon Musk’s carefully cultivated persona as something of a superhuman with extraordinary time management skills: running multiple corporations, posting breathlessly on X and excelling at video games – all while being a father to several children.
The tycoon has frequently shared his gaming experiences on social media, claiming to be one of the top players in various online games. “As a gamer, you have a lot of pride in your rank/level. Trying to fake that while also being the richest guy in the world is just so absurdly unnecessary,” wrote one user on X.
