Vivian Jenna Wilson has a blunt opinion about how good a gamer Musk really is.
On March 29, Musk’s estranged daughter appeared on the Twitch channel of streamer Hasan Piker. Wilson commented on Musk’s previous claims of world-class performance in Diablo IV and Path of Exile 2. Musk has since admitted that he did paid account boosting in both games, i.e. he had someone else do the dirty work and had no idea about the games (this was especially evident in his Path of Exile 2 stream…).
“When I was 12, he was Bronze in Overwatch and my twin and I weren’t. He kept trying to get us to play ranked with him, and I’m 90% sure it was just because we could carry him. I was a twelve-year-old Hanzo main who was barely in Silver. He was a bronze Torbjörn main. He was f*cking sh*t. Awful, like godawful. So no, I don’t believe the f*cking ‘I’m a pro Path of Exile’ whatever the f*ck. No the f*ck you are not. That is so creepy. Why would you even pretend to be – it’s fine not to be a gamer,” Wilson told Piker when asked about Musk’s recent adventures in the gaming world.
Context: Bronze is the lowest level of ranked Overwatch play. This category represents the bottom 5-10% of the player base, meaning Musk wasn’t good enough to climb the ladder on his own. By publicly discussing his gaming habits, his newsworthy performances in two high-profile games, and his admission that he spent money to project an illusory level of mastery all along, Musk has rightfully put his skills under such intense scrutiny.
Musk’s involvement in the gaming industry can only be described as superficial at the moment, but he has previously threatened to start an “artificial intelligence game studio”. Recently, Musk called Piker a fraud for creating a sponsored stream of Assassin’s Creed Shadows… and Wilson’s reaction during the broadcast was just icing on the cake.
At least we can believe Wilson.
