Elon Musk has to be the most embarrassing man alive. In an interview with commentator and creator Hasan Piker, Vivian Jenna Wilson reveals that she and her twin brother used to carry their father in competitive Overwatch games.

“I’m not giving anyone that space in my mind,” Wilson said of her father. “The only thing that gets to live free in my mind are drag queens.”
Hasan asked Vivian about her father’s gaming hobby, and she gladly spilled the tea. She told Hasan that she was 90% sure the only reason her father wanted her and her brother to play Overwatch with him was so they could carry him to silver. Vivian was a Hanzo main clutching in silver, while Musk was a bronze Trobjorn main.

She continued by stating that he was awful at the game, stating that: “He was F***ing Dog S*** awful like God awful.”
Elon Musk tweeted “Hasan is a fraud” on March 25 after the commentary streamer promoted the new Assassin’s Creed game—because apparently having a Black character in a video game is a bigger issue than losing billions of dollars from your sinking stocks.
This led to the official Assassins Creed Twitter page firing back by referencing the time Elon paid someone to boost his Path of Exile 2 account.
I’m going to jump in here and say that paying to have an achievement in a game is cringy because, realistically, no one cares how good you are at video games. it’s meant to be more of a personal achievement. When I was a teen, I spent an entire summer replaying Devil May Cry 3, learning all the combos on muscle memory until I was able to S rank every mission in about an hour. I was proud of that because I earned it. I spent time improving at the game, and even when I beat Dark Souls—something most gamers have done—it still felt rewarding because of the time and all the failures it took to get there.
You know you didn’t earn it when you pay someone to play the game for you.
We’re also starting to see this issue with these “pay-to-win” micro-transactions in competitive gaming where you can “buy silver-rank”, turning what is meant to feel earned into a quick dopamine hit.
Funnily enough, things start to make sense when Vivian reveals that her father wants to be like Nolan Sorrento from Ready Player One.
“He made us read Ready Player One when we got in trouble,” Wilson said.
Well if that doesn’t say loser, what does?
