Elon, you don't need to apologize for anything.
You've shown the people you were trying to impress, exactly who you are. A liar, a cheat, a pay2win newb pretending to be hot shit but failing terribly on it, the worst kind of gamer that most gamers have encountered.
You forgot Nazi.
We don't know that, it's not like he is out there publicly doing Nazi salutes in front of thousands ...
Exactly! All the Respectable News Outlets®©™ have said he just has an awkward wave! Nothing to see here!
Twice.
Do believe it was thrice
It was just an awkward wave! And you might have heard him say Sieg Heil, but he was just awkwardly sneezing, he's just a silly awkward boi.
I see we've hit the "it wasn't that big a deal" part of the Narcissist's Prayer.
inb4 "and if it was"
And if it was, it's the dems fault for not having a good enough platform to avoid this
/s
He should deal with his accounts being banned, because account sharing is against the tos in both games.
I suspect neither company wants to piss him off, but holy shit, that would be *chefskiss*
GGG is based out of New Zealand, they don't have to care about any political ramifications unlike Actiblizz
What did I say to suggest it had anything to do with politics?
For what reasons other than political would blizzard want to stay on his good side? Or do you think Elon's money in the cosmetic store would just be that valuable to them?
New title: Rich guy who has bought his way into everything in his life admits to buying his way into boosting his accounts, internet expresses great lack of surprise.
You forgot: expresses a complete lack of moral capacity to understand why he should feel bad about it.
I am so fucking sick of hearing about this twat in every corner of my life.
Someone has a gun to your head? Because I just stop doing something I don't like.
I didn't expect to see Musk in the headline of something while scrolling a PC gaming forum, excuse me.
He pops up literally everywhere. It's fucking infuriating. I wish he'd just make some really really really really really bad life choices and end up on the street, eating from a dumpster and being criminalised for trying to survive.
I hope he gets shot in the throat and bleeds out slow enough to realize he's no longer the main character in his life.
Nah, too easy. He'd only have a minute tops of consciousness, with an arterial bleed like that, to mull over where it all went wrong. I'd definitely rather have him relegated to the most vulnerable section of society, and struggling to stay alive for at least a decade.
It's a trade off between time of punishment vs chance of being rescued. I hate using the phrase, but... agree to disagree?
Fuck it, if he's not stuck in it for minimum ten years before he kicks off, a shriveled husk of a man.... I'll take arterial bleed out. Agree to agree?
"Just stop being raped!"
What an incredibly inappropriate comparison.
And?
If he lies about this then what else does he lie about?
Like Donald Trump, I just assume he's lying if sounds are coming out of his mouth.
He lost the benefit of the doubt in 2018 when he falsely accused a rescue worker of being a pedophile.
What's crazy is that he seemed kind of normal beforehand.
Oh I mean calling that diver a pedophile. That seemed like the first crack and now he's naziing at people
He got out in front of his PR operation on that one, but a lot of leftists had him pegged long before that incident. It was obvious that he was funding an astroturf campaign to deify himself, and he has always been rabidly aggressive to worker's rights.
Did he?
Everything
It worked so well 😂 thank you!
I remember Clinton
Yeah, Clinton lied and was impeached https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton
Yeah, seems like that doesn't happen anymore
Republicans like to complain about perjury traps, but that was an actual perjury trap. Starr was playing word games the whole time. People focus on Continue answers being ridiculous, but those are the kinds of things you have to say to combat the absurd questions he was being asked. Bill is still a piece of shit, but this whole thing was political theatre.
Once again, with Republicans, every accusation is a confession. But yeah, Clinton was shit enough to make it easy for them.
Agreed, it was a good thing for him he was a lawyer, but he took so much shit for it, hence "That depends on what the meaning of the word IS is"
"What would I be appologizing for?"
Just one thing, lying and claiming that you accomplished the progress in the games yourself.

It's interesting that his thought process is, "It's not cheating, everyone does it which means this is fine!"
I mean, the thought process he's admitting to here is interesting in light of Trump thanking Musk for "He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide."
Most certainly, "everyone" does not feel compelled to pay people to have fun for them.
Not exactly "interesting" - he's just deeply narcissistic. Here's a handy guide:
"That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
(Current story sits here)
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it."
What cracks me up is I prefer pve. I like cooperative play but not really competitive play in games. It always seemed to me the pvp community had so many people looking to get an advantage or were ok with cheating. Funny thing is it does not even matter if you cheat in pve as its just your own gameplay. I mean like in doom I would do the full map cheat when I got to the exit to go back and get everything but I did not want it till I got through the level. I mean its still cheating but there is a reason I did not use the unlimited ammo or health or such codes.
Don’t care if he doesn’t feel bad about it, I know he sucks, fucking poser
He was playing using a neuralink prototype, that's why he looked as if he was abusing ketamine
The dude has no integrity, or he would care about being caught in a lie.
