In that case, it should be pretty easy to find another thread about it on this website from before his involvement with the Trump admin. Please link to one for us.
No takers?
ETA: How about articles from major news organizations from before he endorsed Trump? Not from gaming mags or gaming opinion pieces. Anything like this Newsweek article from before he joined up with Trump? LINK
Surely there are plenty of examples to choose from if this isn't a nakedly political "concern" being brought up solely because of his new association with Trump. Right?

I don't really give a shite about this because I figured everyone already knew he was paying others to play for him and buying gear, but here's an article from 2022 USA Today

You linked an article from USA Today's "For The Win" imprint, which is essentially a website specifically about sports, gaming, etc.
I went to USA Today's actual website and searched for the headline of that article, and it did not pop up. Here's my search results. Try it for yourself.
ETA: Anyone have an actual example?

Id guess it's cuz normal folks care more about someone famous presumably lying/faking something than them being bad at video games like the elden ring story.
I don't know why anyone would think Elon wasn't buying Diablo gear and I do think Elon is a gamer, there's no reason for him to grind gear when he can just buy it.

was that supposed to be an amusing rhyme or are you trying to tell us there is another celebrity’s dick you prefer to do tricks on?

I'm simply responding to the morons who claimed this topic was anything other than political. The only reason this thread exists on this board at all is because Elon endorsed Trump. No one here actually cares about how Elon Musk games or if he pays someone to farm/level for him.

I think it was lame of Elon to pretend on stream that he knew what he was doing. Guy is way too busy to grind an acct like that. Obviously it doesn’t matter

Pretty cringey IMO. Why does the richest person on earth need validation from gamers

That’s also the only reason you’ve spent the last 6 pages polishing his knob.

As I mentioned several pages ago, his gaming acumen was cited to repeatedly on this thread, which had nothing to do with Trump: LINK /
This is the gaming board. Is his lying about being an elite gamer not relevant within that context?

It’s a thread about him starting a gaming company. There’s a lot of posts in there questioning how he has the time to play games in general (seems like we know the answer now) and poking fun at his ER build.
Somebody in there claims to have seen him play Diablo and says he’s good at it. Maybe he is and just buys the best gear. PoE hasn’t been out that long so maybe he does the same with it and hasn’t played it a lot yet.
But again, who fricking cares?

I mean he got a hair transplant as well. Bezos basically did steroids and hgh to look how he does now, and Warren Buffet's whole schtick of not changing anything all reeks of insecurity. We think the rich and famous don't have the same issues a lot of us do, it's just funnier when it happens to them because they have resources to try to fix it without actually fixing it.

I know some of you essentially view the world through the lens of B.T. and A.D. (figured the Latin still held for some of you), but can you honestly tell me that previous thread wouldn’t have looked basically identically if Tesla bro announced he was opening an AI gaming studio a month before endorsing Trump as opposed to a few months after?
