Is this an actual anecdote of Elon playing video games?

yeah. he was live streaming a game, and kept dying to the tutorial boss. then he got trolled hard in chat. then he quit. https://www.theverge.com/news/645131/elon-musk-path-of-exile-2-livestream

So not his strength? Oh, I understand. He's grandstanding. It's almost like he really is a Trump wannabe.

Hehe... it was a "connectivity issue." 😏
