Summary
- Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk's eldest daughter, recently denounced the billionaire's skills in the popular hero shooter Overwatch.
- Wilson claimed Musk was at a lower rank than her in Overwatch and would "constantly" ask her to play ranked matches with him, likely since he needed to be carried in them.
- She also commented on Musk's Path of Exile 2 controversy, expressing doubt over his prowess in the action RPG and rhetorically asking why he would pretend to be good at games.
Elon Musk's daughter, Vivian Wilson, has criticized the billionaire's gaming prowess in a recent Twitch stream with prominent content creator Hasan Piker. Wilson has long been vocal online about her displeasure with Musk, and this time, she aimed her sights at his skills in Blizzard's smash-hit hero shooter Overwatch.
Musk is frequently involved in gaming-related controversies, so it comes as no surprise that Wilson's comments emerge amid an ongoing spat between the billionaire and Hasan. Earlier this week, Musk called Hasan a fraud for participating in a sponsored stream for Assassin's Creed Shadows. The official Assassin's Creed Twitter account even clapped back against Elon for his disparagement of Hasan, and the streamer also invited Musk's eldest daughter, Wilson, to his March 28 Twitch stream, where she took the opportunity to offer a candid assessment of his skills (or lack thereof).
Twitch Has Unbanned Hasan
After just one day off the platform, Twitch decides to unban popular political streamer and commentator Hasan Piker following his divisive remarks.
According to Wilson, Musk was ranked Bronze in Overwatch when she was 12, while she and her twin brother, Griffin, held higher ranks. She recounted how Musk would frequently ask them to play ranked matches with him, likely so they could carry him through tougher competition. Musk was apparently a "Bronze Torbjorn main," while Wilson herself played as a "Hanzo main who was barely in Silver." Wilson didn't mince words, saying bluntly that Musk was "dogsh*t awful" at Overwatch.
Vivian Wilson "90 Percent Sure" That Elon Musk Needed Carrying in Overwatch Matches
Wilson also threw some shade at Musk's recent controversy with Path of Exile 2, where earlier this year, Twitch streamer Quin69 accused Musk of faking his lofty leaderboard ranking in the action RPG. The backlash prompted Musk to eventually admit that he had engaged in account sharing for Path of Exile 2, but claimed that he never intended to misrepresent his skills. Wilson dismissed the idea of Musk being a top-tier gamer, sarcastically rejecting his supposed proficiency at Path of Exile 2 and questioning why he would even pretend to be good at games. "It's fine not to be a gamer," she quipped.
The Path of Exile 2 situation already cast a lot of doubt on Musk's credibility as a gamer, and Wilson's recent claims of the billionaire's lack of skill in Overwatch have incited further skepticism. Interestingly, when Musk confessed to boosting his Path of Exile 2 account, his ex-wife Grimes vouched for his gaming prowess for titles like Diablo 4 and The Battle of Polytopia. Musk was purportedly the first US-based druid to beat Diablo 4's Abbatoir of Zir dungeon, and finished the season as the best in the country.
