If he says he’s top 20 player and it turns out he bought that account then what does that mean for the credibility of his other supposed achievements? Oops.
These people cheat at every aspects of life, society rewards narcissism, rewards people willing to forgo morals. We have systematised this were we can look at hi school bullies and have a vague idea where they will end up.
These people aren't worthy of our respect, and we need to make it known.
This goes against the TOS for both games. If you play either, I highly recommend flooding them with reports on that. It would be great to see him banned. He'll probably just set up a new account and start again, but it'll cost him and you know he'll keep cheating so you can just rinse and repeat.
I'm sure if there was actual worthy news this wouldn't be reported on however there is obviously nothing else happening so clearly we need to talk about this instead.
He didn't say "account boosting", he said they share accounts. I don't play PoE, much less competitively, so I don't know if that's true, but let's assume it is. Just disclose it. Like, disclose it publicly before you play the game. Don't deny it after being called out on it and then retaliate against the person calling you out on your platform like a petty manchild, then disclose it in private. If anything, people will respect you more for being someone who doesn't play video games all day every day like it's their job.
I"m just glad he had the balls to drop the act, I've known Twitch Streamers who get caught blatantly cheating who are defiant to the end and demand to sue the company
Edit: Dear downvoters, I"m not saying Elon cheating is a good thing nor am I praising him, I"m just saying I'm glad that he came out and admitted it instead of "Naw bro, I'm totally playing fair and am an expert on Diablo of Exiles or whatever it's called.", this is more of a "The bar is so low that I'm glad you shat your pants instead of peeing in my face." than a real compliment.
