Wonder what else he's cheated at eh?

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 88 points 1 day ago

Who'd of thought. A billionaire a cheater. /s

These people cheat at every aspects of life, society rewards narcissism, rewards people willing to forgo morals. We have systematised this were we can look at hi school bullies and have a vague idea where they will end up.

These people aren't worthy of our respect, and we need to make it known.

I hope every article uses that picture of him for everything.

[–] Saryn@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yo, did they change the photo? I'm only seeing it in the thembnail

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yes, bunch of Nazi supporting pussies.

[–] echodot 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Interestingly my instant seems to cache the original photo. If I go on the website it's a different image he still looks like prick though.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 5 points 19 hours ago

He's always looked like a prick. Probably because he is a prick.

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They probably don‘t want to loose the incel people in their audience

[–] ZiemekZ@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Not all incels are Nazis, though.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago

Nah, but it's part of the radicalisation stream. Get them when they're feeling worthless, point a finger and say it's not you, it's them. Once they've bought in, point at someone else. Keep going and next thing you know, you've made a domestic terrorist.

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 1 points 19 hours ago

No, but a lot of them are apologists for tech bros.

What a loser.

I totally understand people who use cheat engine or similar to break games and to have fun seeing what they can do. Skipping content. Whatever.

But those that cheat to be able to boast… pathetic.

And then he’s like “well, everyone’s doing it.” 🙄

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 84 points 2 days ago (16 children)

Honestly, one of the big reasons multiplayer sucks now is because of cheaters. You wanna cheat in a single-player game? I couldn't give less of a shit. But giving yourself an unfair advantage while playing against other people is pathetic and ruins the game for everyone...

Well, since the only persons on his mind appear to be Trump and himself: Yeah, everybody's cheating.

Idk how anyone can say he is not a real gamer after the nazi salutes seen side by side with his twitter history.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 128 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Man who never earned anything a day in his life continues streak by not earning video game achievements.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

This is a distraction. Ignore it.

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 161 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

If he says he’s top 20 player and it turns out he bought that account then what does that mean for the credibility of his other supposed achievements? Oops.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 105 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It tracks with everything else. He also bought Tesla in order to become a 'founder'.

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Not just bought either, he had to sue them too in order to be called a founder.

I'm sure if there was actual worthy news this wouldn't be reported on however there is obviously nothing else happening so clearly we need to talk about this instead.

I don't even want to joke about this anymore.

Stay strong and resist folks.

[–] SirDankbud@lemmy.ca 55 points 2 days ago (8 children)

This goes against the TOS for both games. If you play either, I highly recommend flooding them with reports on that. It would be great to see him banned. He'll probably just set up a new account and start again, but it'll cost him and you know he'll keep cheating so you can just rinse and repeat.

Elon Musk attempts to draw attention away from his drug fuelled gaff

Come on, you fuckin morons

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 2 days ago

Said the guy who called a Sieg Heil a "gaff"

He's the President of one of the more powerful countries in the world, so I think a lot of people.

[–] Myro@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

lol. Sad but true.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It reveals his character pretty well in a clear and verifiable way.

He denied it strongly. Only to have people call him out all over the place which eventually triggered him to admit to it.

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And more importantly It reveals his character in a way that some of his die hard supporters might actually care about.

He’s been shedding fans for a long time now, but way slower than he’s been going off the rails, because the things he’s done have rarely been directly contradictory to the image his fans have of him. Sure taken as a whole they are, but individual actions can be written off as haters using cult logic.

This though, this is… just so pathetic… so blatantly approval seeking and manipulative tendencies.

I enjoy that the meta image is him doing the nazi salute

Not that I like him doing it, just that it's being shown around.
