I Am Disgusted By Elon Musk's Gaming Setup
Watching these streams hurt me but I have to know: is one of the wealthiest men on earth using a mediocre streaming setup?
I'm so torn.
On the one hand, let people play games on shitty setups without shaming them.
On the other hand, what a fucking loser, lmao.
The guy is a billionaire, he as no excuse to have a third rate gaming chair.
Yeah, i don't shame setups but I'll make an exception for an exceptional specimen. I'd shame that punk for breathin' wrong. Example: He's definitely using more a' my air than i'd like. I don't hold much hope but i do hold some; that i live to see him get all he deserves.
You can be disgusted at the disgusting loser, regardless of their gaming setup.
In the context of the incredibly stupid and horrible stuff the guy does their setup is peanuts.
It's symptomatic, but in no way the biggest character flaw he has.
Very unimportant, but very funny and if it pisses Elon off it's worth the time it took to type it.
Wow. This is just about the most pitiful criticism of the man I've seen yet. iS ThIs a pSyOp mEaNt tO MaKe mUsK HaTeRs lOoK BaD - levels of petty. Mostly just makes me feel bad for the average streamer; The candle thing was almost creepy enough on its own to take the other "issues" listed at face value though.
Yeah who gives a shit, way way way bigger issues to focus on
This is a stupid article. Fuck Elon, but I mean who cares how he streams? He's streaming like that exactly because he's rich and doesn't need to give a shit. I find it funny how every suggestion is like "he should have paid someone to do it for him", maybe he wants to do it himself? This is entertainment for him.
Sure, he has zero taste or knowledge of streaming/proper gaming setups, but he doesn't care and neither should you.
I completely agree there are more important things to hate about this manchild. Having said that this really does help deconstruct that he is some great gamer or has any decent taste.
I do agree that some of the complaints were rather overdone, such as his headset. But the giant gaming candle with its own assistant warrants the general disgust.
There are much better reasons to dislike him than these.
Sure, but it doesn't mean you can't also dislike him for this. It's called multitasking!
I feel like these commenters didn't watch the disaster that was Elon pretending he was the greatest PoE2 player of all time.
After that, I think it's fair game to write shit about his gaming setup. It's a puff piece, for sure, but it's a well-deserved one.
because you make fun of one thing you don't like, does that somehow mean you do not like them for only that? Does it mean you think that is the biggest reason to not like them?
Right? No mention of him being a Nazi / fascist.
Big whoop. The nazi deserves to be a nobody.
He is the richest person on the planet and currently dicking around in the US government's department of the treasury as an unelected, regular citizen with no repercussions or consequences.
We are long past the man being a nobody.
Also, his gaming candle is stupid and he deserves the mockery.
Don't get fooled, trying to look "cool" is part of his pr campaign. Their favorite game they spend all day playing is hoarding money and power off people.
How does one look cool with that shit keyboard and headset?
Yeah, it's fucking embarrassing to have this rig as a middle class g*mer, much less an oligarch.
Any pr campaign these idiots do look ridiculous but just like ads it works or they wouldn't be doing it. The average person probably falls for it.
Elon, hire me to fix your setup bud...
Also, to play your videogames because you're shit at them.
You would certainly not be happy with my gaming setup. I have an apple Membrane keyboard because I’ve played way too long on old laptops and I got so used to them that I don’t like any others. Then I have a 10+ year old mouse that’s just perfect for my hands, I don’t get cramps.
And than I have a MacBook Air that is connected to the PC via Ethernet and steam link streams the game.
tbf Apple membrane keyboards are pretty nice for what they are. I wouldn't daily one, but I've frequently used them in a professional context.

Centre-aligned taskbars are nice though :(
I have one of the Samsung 49 inch super ultra wides. Not having a center aligned taskbar on this thing is atrocious. But on a normal 16:9 screen I prefer it on the left. Not sure where I'd like it on the screen he's using.
Lmao he really criticized his center aligned task bar. L take.
Look, i hate elon like everybody else. You know because he's a fascist.
But this article is just so petty and shit. Like wtf is wrong with a centered taskbar? Get a grip on life.
If you're okay with a centered task bar, then fuck you. /s
Centered task bar is goated
it's okay, king. let them enjoy their private personal moments.
