Elon Musk continues to garner mockery when it comes to gaming, this time getting rinsed by the official Assassin’s Creed account on his own website.
The X account @AssassinsCreed ratioed Musk after notorious video game critic Grummz criticized the Ubisoft team behind Assassin’s Creed: Shadows for sponsoring leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker to play its new game, prompting Musk to weigh in by calling Piker a “fraud” and a “sell out” for promoting a “terrible game just for the money.”
The official @AssassinsCreed account was quick on the uptake, responding to Musk by calling back to his fraud gamer controversy and asking him, “Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?” The tweet got over 400,000 likes overnight and prompted a barrage of memes and jokes at Musk’s expense.
Our chronically online readers might be wise to know that Musk was embroiled in a public and embarrassing gamer controversy earlier this year. Eagle-eyed Path of Exile 2 veterans had figured out that he was trying to fake it till he made it in Path of Exile 2, blundering across the map despite operating a high-rank character as though it were the first time he was playing the game.
Players also noticed that the publicly available game data shows that Musk is “playing from Asia or using a VPN to play from Asia,” an inexplicable decision they chalked down to him hiring someone to “grind” at the game for him. Musk eventually admitted to “account boosting,” writing, “It’s impossible to beat the players in Asia if you don’t, as they do!”
What an ego-trip… Elon Musk has been livestreaming himself playing overpowered Path Of Exile 2 character, proudly and seriously pretending that he got there himself, and actual POE veterans are laughing their asses off watching and dissecting that charade. Why Elon, why?🤦♂️🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/kAIKYoaEGq

That is why both Hasan Piker and @AssassinCreed made it clear that they thought it was rich for Musk to be calling anyone else a fraud when it came to gaming.
Hasan exchanged barbs with Musk in a series of Grummz-mediated screenshots yesterday, with Piker challenging Musk to a “duel” on Elden Ring and Musk calling him “chickens—” for blocking him on X, all while Grummz egged on the argument.
Nonetheless, the official Assassin’s Creed ratio stole the show, and several internet users posted jokes about the account roasting Elon Musk.
Many internet users conceded to the corporate ratio, saying, “I was unfamiliar with your game.” X user @soundaholism quoted the @AssassinsCreed, vowing to buy AC: Shadows without waiting for a sale solely motivated by them ratioing Musk. Meanwhile, other internet users joked about how Musk paid $44 billion just to get cooked on his own website.
