Elon Musk and games: Pro-player son or just another bronze in Overwatch?

Billionaire is exposed by his own daughter, who reveals that he asked for help to climb ranks

Elon Musk loves to show off his achievements in the world of games. The owner of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter) has boasted about accomplishments in Diablo IV, Path of Exile 2, and other games, but a recent revelation cast doubts on his real skills.

The bomb was dropped by none other than his daughter, Vivian Wilson, who decided to expose the not so glorious side of the billionaire. During a conversation, she revealed that, when she was 12 years old, her father was stuck in the Bronze rank in Overwatch and asked his children for help to climb ranks in his place.

Was Musk a boosted bronze?

According to Vivian Wilson, she and her twin brother played on their father's account because he was too bad at the Blizzard hero shooter. The young woman stated that Musk often asked for help because he struggled to advance in ranked matches.

The daughter's revelation brought to light an old theory: the billionaire doesn't play as well as he claims and may have relied on external help for some of his achievements in the gaming world.

This isn't the first time Musk has been involved in gaming controversies

This isn't the only time Elon Musk has become a target of the gaming community. Last week, he got into a heated argument with a youtuber after criticizing Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The feud was so intense that Ubisoft got involved, suggesting that the businessman pays other people to play in his place.

Now, with an accusation coming from within the family, it's hard for Musk to deny. After all, if even his children say that he doesn't know how to play Overwatch, what else could he be exaggerating when boasting about his gaming feats?

While the internet has fun with the exposure of the billionaire, the question remains: did he ever manage to climb out of Bronze on his own?
