Gamers are accusing Elon Musk of cheating at popular video games by allegedly turning to loopholes and hiring better users to play for him
“I don't see the reason to do this,” one Diablo IV gamer said, “because he's already famous—very famous.”

I love how so many people in the PoE2 community are trying to find a rational explanation for this behavior, like trying to determine what publicity faking being a high level gamer gives.
I'd argue this is the clearest evidence we've received that Elon has narcissistic personality disorder. These are the actions of someone who is suffering from a mental illness. He needs validation from his army of followers for the insane, grandiose claims that he makes, and doesn't feel the need to spend even a modicum of effort on making his lies seem believable.
I think we had pretty clear evidence half a decade ago when Space Karen called a guy trying to rescue a trapped soccer team a pedo, just because his own stupid idea about a robot or whatever got rejected because it was so fucking dumb.
I knew one person who lied so compulsively that it was almost certainly some kind of personality disorder. They would lie about the most mundane things and lie when it would be obvious to everyone they were lying. Not saying Elon doesn't have NPD, but narcissism gets thrown around a lot and it could very well be some other thing or multiple other things accentuated by him being in a position of fame and power. It's got to be made worse by having so many true believers parroting your lies and doing the gymnastics for you.
My favorite example, that made me realize how much must illness like this sucks, was this hbomberguy video about Tommy Tallarico, the guy behind Video Games Live.
oof
Access to industrial amounts of drugs doesn't help either. Everyone knows Musk consumes a ton.
Not every dip shit has NPD and having NPD doesn't necessarily make you a dip shit
I struggle with empathy and I rather not even be in a group if I'm not actively noticed, I end up doing shit negative or positive to bet attention because it just makes me feel good
I didn't use to feel this way but I unknowingly acted this way before I learnt I had NPD
For me it became a cycle of moving communities, making friends real or not, lying or showing off to become prominent then leaving or becoming harsh and unfriendly when I stagnate
