Unironically true. The person best primed to enter the cult of Elon is the tech-bro. Those people also tend to play videogames. Which in turn means they are primed for takeover by chud channels. Elon’s fuck up is such that even the biggest chud channels can’t help but point and laugh.
I used to think that the one redeemable skill Musk has is that he’s a good marketer. He created the self image of a genius inventor and turned it into several speculative bubbles all his to profit from. Mayhap that was never even true because at the very least his ego is stabbing him in the back.
Elon could have made a video of him being a normal player having fun and fucking up at a Path of Exile boss. He’d have gained mad ‘respect’ from everyone who watched him. But no, he has to be the Tony Stark of videogame timewasters. It’s just embarrassing.

I think this is the central aspect of why he is so pathetic, he’s unwilling to let any sort of vulnerability show on purpose. He doesn’t understand how that kind of thing humanizes a person, because he’s a fundamentally broken individual. You can only admire someone because they’re competent, people should always strive to dominate, rather than fuck around and have a good time and be human.
It’s like how he posted his unbelievably garbage Elden Ring build but described it in this way that tried to sound like he was a genius engineer optimizing gaming. In fact, I think he got dragged so much after posting cringe that time that he became at least a little bit self-conscious and decided to prove the point that he’s an epic gamer by “mastering” other games. The fact that he’s trying to do that by hiring other people to do the gaming for him is very representative of his awful personal character and complete lack of self-awareness.
Well you see, you just can’t find the kind of top 0.1% talent you need for this kind of gaming in the U.S. anymore. If we’re going to make Gaming great again we need to be able to recruit from countries who have cultures centered around achieving exceptional results and getting my account on the top 100 players ranking.
From Elon’s perspective, paying someone else to do something that he takes credit for is the fundamental strategy he has used for his entire life and it’s worked swimmingly so far

For what its worth, the fact that he outsourced his Top Gaming Skills to China is just poetry.
