Elon Musk just took a critical hit&mdash;from a video game account. And let&rsquo;s be real: this might be Assassin&rsquo;s Creed&rsquo;s most satisfying boss fight yet.
It started, as Musk controversies often do, with an ill-advised tweet. The billionaire, ever eager to weigh in uninvited, trashed Assassin&rsquo;s Creed Shadows&nbsp;as a &ldquo;terrible game&rdquo; and slammed a streamer promoting it as a &ldquo;fraud&rdquo; and a &ldquo;sell-out.&rdquo; He likely expected his usual fanboys to nod along. Instead, Ubisoft&rsquo;s Assassin&rsquo;s Creed&nbsp;account took a look at his gaming credibility, rolled a stealth check, and assassinated it in broad daylight.
&ldquo;Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?&rdquo; the franchise&rsquo;s official account clapped back&mdash;an execution so clean it could have triggered a cutscene. The tweet detonated instantly, racking up over 52.4 million views and 735,000 likes, leaving Musk&rsquo;s timeline in digital ruins.
Cue the internet&rsquo;s collective meltdown.
&ldquo;Can&rsquo;t believe I&rsquo;m gonna buy this game now because of this reply,&rdquo; one user declared, proving that Ubisoft&rsquo;s best marketing strategy might just be publicly dunking on Musk.
Another summed it up perfectly: &ldquo;Elon got roasted by Ubisoft.&rdquo;
But the best part? Musk&rsquo;s gaming reputation has been on thin ice for months. He&rsquo;s long claimed to be a top-ranked Diablo IV&nbsp;player, but when he streamed himself playing Path of Exile 2, viewers noticed something was&hellip; off. His movements and decision-making were less &ldquo;elite player&rdquo; and more &ldquo;uncle who just picked up a controller at a family gathering.&rdquo;
YouTuber MoistCr1tikal delivered the finishing blow:&nbsp;&ldquo;This is so clownish. He doesn&rsquo;t understand how the game works. It&rsquo;s so false it&rsquo;s laughable. He is beyond clueless, and from his gameplay, it seems like he doesn&rsquo;t even know how to play the game.&rdquo;
And just when you thought it couldn&rsquo;t get worse, Musk got kicked from Path of Exile 2&nbsp;for performing too many actions in a short time&mdash;a classic sign of using macros or cheats. Yes, the same guy who accuses others of fraud may have gotten booted for playing like a bot.
Musk has spent years selling himself as a genius in every field he touches&mdash;rockets, AI, social media, gaming. But much like Twitter&rsquo;s rebrand, his gameplay was both confusing and unnecessary. Maybe it&rsquo;s time he logs off before the respawn timer runs out on his credibility.
