"Musk's gaming habits have been continually mocked after he 'rage quit' a Path of Exile 2 livestream in April over his clearly poor performance. In an effort to showcase Starlink's Wi-Fi capabilities, Musk livestreamed the video game while aboard his private jet. The broadcast was brief; however, after the game's chat function was inundated with users mocking Musk, both for his poor gaming skills and for "ruining the [US]" through his political actions while he was head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)."
"The businessman, who professes to be an avid gamer, raised eyebrows after appearing to reach the top of the Diablo IV online leaderboards in November 2024, prompting people to question how he has the time to play the game enough to make it to number one.

"The parody news brand, which primarily writes spoof articles on gaming culture, took a moment from writing about Mega Man beating " the s**t " out of his rivals to drag the 54-year-old billionaire and his anti-trans views. In a Sunday (14 September) post on X/Twitter rival Bluesky, it joked that the "real reason" for Musk's anti-trans stance "is because they're all better at video games than you are." After the fierce read, the publication shared a follow-up post featuring the trans Pride flag and the caption: "Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.""
