He's fighting the left so he's good.
Its pretty questionable that you're against him. Why are you so angry that some people wants to fight leftists brainwashing? Got something to tell us?
I know you're baiting but for anyone else reading corporations are not your friend. Musk going "erhmmm I hate WOKE!!" doesn't magically wash his hands of being an all around bloodsucker with an ego the size of the moon (which he said he'd reach by now btw)
Not him, but I don't give a frick about any of that. All that matter is that he pushes my objectively correct views and beliefs. I will praise him because he has the means, power, and visibility to broadcast my beliefs to millions of people.

That's got to be incredibly painful.
But covering up your ears and screaming that I don't have enough Ganker karma and that I'm not a REAAAAAAL Gankerdler is just proving YOU don't understand this website.
Especially since you keep dancing around the fact that moot perma'd a ton of people during gamergate and after that a bunch of homosexualy ass forums came over here because it was some sort of "victory" and try to keep up with this delusional fantasy of yours where Ganker was super invaded by like a heckin million outziderz when even a basic understanding of the website at the time would make it incredibly obvious that said outsiders would have been banned.
You're literally whining that people that like gaming, still use the videogame board on the anonymous website while pretending to be the very real person who totally understands how this website works and that it's your secret club, and not that it hasn't historically been one of the most populated websites on the internet forever.

On the contrary it's pretty powerful actually, which is the reason you can't just sue people to bankruptcy for saying something mean about you the way you can in shitholes like the UK.

>harass him for no reason
Shut the frick up moron. He spews autism near constantly and the only reason he got a pass for so long is because he was "le quirky rich mane".
Why do people always seem to think that the big bad media villains that they hate are literally bad at literally everything? Like people criticize trump for golf all the time, literally just because he's not the best golfer in the world. You don't just become a billionaire by accident. It requires a lot of different skills.
It's an ego thing, if everyone you don't like (especially for being more successful than you) is stupid, evil, incompetent or whatever you feel better about it
I've honestly seen people on Twitter or reddit or something saying about trump "I don't care if there's no proof, I can totally see him do this so I'll believe it anyway". These are the exact same people who ask for proof on literally everything and then refuse to read it because they don't like the source it came from
How can you be this fricking dense? You don’t have to like him only because ”the left” or ”libs” hate him.
Trump and Elon are both obvious compulsive liars. I don’t know if constant blatant lying is ok in America, but in Europe it isn’t. You can’t trust literally anything Musk or Trump say or promise, because it has a high chance of being narcissitic delusional bullshit.
>You don't just become a billionaire by accident. It requires a lot of different skills.
No it requires a lot of money, which you can make very slowly by having a lot of skills, or have it handed to you like Trump did. Also it requires you to not be a total sperg. Trump acts like a moron sometimes but he is a very charismatic person.
Look man... I don't think at this point anyone should play red vs blue anymore. If you want to hate everything that isn't European then fine but let's not act as if the conservative party hasn't been a joke for these last few years
Eh, he's smart at certain things (like making money) but dumb at others. The problem with Elon is he's the type to think being successful and smart at some things makes your opinion on everything valuable.
He's a fricking cartoon character who constantly seeks attention because even though he's born in an emerald mine owning family that let hin bruteforce any career goal he'll need be able to afford genuine affection, only reason to not shit of him is out of pity

every session was like "dont reveal your power level, dont reveal your power level, dont reveal your power level...".

"Others" in this case refers to Dennis "Thresh" Fong, who is widely considered one of the best quake player ever. He won John Carmack's Ferrari 328 in a tourny in 1997. He says Musk was pretty bad. But you were too busy bootlicking to read half a page into the article.
nta but maybe it's a case of a top 10 player saying he's shit because he was only top 1000 or something. not sure how it is in quake but in most rts a top 10 player will destroy a rank 500 player every time even though the rank 500 player is still better than 99% of the world
I think this is probably the case, for a time in the 2000s, I was a "top" player in CSS, I would top all of the best servers consistently, and I was not an AWP gay. Then I tried tournaments, I did okay in the entry ones but at the medium level ones I was getting slapped.
I thought after thousands of hours I was literally one of the best players in the world. There's always some russian out there better at you
this is 100% the case. used to be a pro cs:s and cs:go player up until 2015, and pretty much everyone considered everything except for the ~top300 players trash
there is a massive skill gap between what normies consider a god player and what an actual professional god player is
>used to be a pro cs:s and cs:go player up until 2015
No you weren't, why even make up shit like that?
You are probably some average shitter with huge ego.
Depends on his definition of bad. Top players can have a massively skewed view of the playerbase usually.
For someone in top 10, a top 100 player can be regarded as bad.
Just the fact that they even remember his in-game name is pretty telling.

A reasonable point except musk said he was one of the top players in the world, not just pretty good. A top player worldwide wouldn't say another top player worldwide is "not very good." Musk also pretty much known for lying constantly and/or greatly exaggerating his own capabilities.
there is no better empirical measure of who was "best in the world" in the past other than who was playing in the cash prize tournaments. if he played there and did decently he's entitled to the claim. of course there could be thousands of people way better than him at that time elsewhere in the world, but there's no way to know. he has more credentials in this case than any of the haters. and it was just some passing comment in a long interview, the people making a big deal out of it are the shitty gossip column writers, not him.
It's pretty easy to be known for "constantly lying" when liberal homosexuals keep saying that literally everything he says is a lie no matter how petty they sound

If one of, if not the best quake players around is even aware of elon having played.....wouldn't that put elon at a pretty reasonable level?
Level-headed people follow other level-headed people, people with mental illnesses tend worship others with mental illnesses (while pretending neither party is mentally ill).
Kek, Quakeworld's history is easily searchable, along with who was who in terms of skill and prize winnings. It's was the mid to late 90s, not that long ago
Musk was not a legendary of player
Yes, Joe Rogan also played back in the day. But to claim he was one of the best is just lunacy. You will not find a demo of him beating a pro or winning anything of relevance
Imagine a gaming medium where you could just meet people who would go on to become billionaires. Instead of people who go on to become troons and dead by 40.
you can still do that
those quake gamers werent doing anything different from today, just networking
instead of wasting mental energy and time on troons just talk about business to business and engage with others that have those ideas

Someone recorded coming across Phil Spencer in Fallout 76. He was just chilling playing the game and someone figured out it was him
There's also this from 1999

So he did play a bunch, and probably was better than vast majority of people (as is pretty much anyone who spends a long time playing one game a bunch), but not "top player"
I mean so does Bill gates, and leftards such his wiener on everything he says even if he has no credibility in the field
Yeah, it applies to a lot of people. Always hated when they had Bill Gates on getting interviewed about some bullshit outside his expertise.
If true, then I probably played against Musk myself back in the day... BUT there is really no way to verify this.
The early days of internet gaming are pretty much a permanent terra incognita, as nearly nothing was documented. Youtube, Twitch and so on didn't even exist until many years later. Gaming was just all about having FUN back then.
That said, I was really good Jedi Knight player on the "Internet Gaming Zone" back in the day, but I bet nobody actually remembers AtomicDlux anymore.
mostly unrelated so stop reading now, but it was nice to find out that you may of may of not killed/played with a dev in cod modern warfare because of a dev only weapon. tl;dr there was a magnum revolver, and normal players could only have certain attachments, but devs could put a silencer and a scope on it, so if you found one/got killed by one/picked one up, you probably interacted with a dev
All other metrics are bullshit

it's crazy how blind the fanboyism behind him is. he talks like a teenager desperately trying to fit in, his opinions on games aren't even opinions, he just regurgitates what he thinks is the most "in" thing to say to gain more traction. look, elden ring is cool and all but it is genuinely nowhere near one of the best games of all time, and him bringing up quake like he did is such a pathetic "seeeee!!! I'm an oldgay!!" attempt. i figure most people see right through this shit but some of you are truly braindead if you don't

then she moved on and became an alcoholic prostitute
Lefties are so mad they can't just spout misinformation on x (formerly Sneed) without getting fact checked so they write rent free tabloid pieces on Musk
Just two more weeks until X is finished am I rite sissysisters??
well yeah, they've lost billions and billions of dollars since his takeover. 20b alone with the rebranding and devaluing of the brand.
and we also know he's talking bullshit about the site still growing because of the court docs showing massive drops in actual user engagement as people simply stop using it.
He's the richest man in the world, owns one of the biggest communication platforms in the core web and people are fricking furious about that and desperately trying to stop that from being true.
Because he is desperate for positive attention and validation.
He woke up one day, probably aftet one of his many divorces or maybe when his troony kid said they hated him and realized that he is alone in the world and that he is feeling a deep void inside his chest that is slowly consuning his whole being. He believes the adoration of the masses can slow this progression, so he keeps making desperate bids for popularity.
And since he had some residual popularity from better times, media outlets consider him profitable, especially due to the growing number of antifans.
>be big famous corporation guy >don't push for woke shit every second every single day for once >become persona non grata in the eyes of 90% of the media
Many such cases.
Elon is so full of shit. Listening to him try to talk about martial arts on Rogan was painful. I like SpaceX and he's a step up from the previous Twitter owners (not hard though, he's still doing a shit job). But Elon is a lame attention prostitute who seems desperate to be liked.
>he's a step up from the previous Twitter owners
Given that he made a company that was barely breaking even (impressive feat for social media btw) lose over half its value in less than a year, I think he's a significant step down.
>For such an old game I'm surprised it still has much of an online community.
That's what happens when a game with a certain appeal doesn't have a good spiritual successor.
He always seemed kind of like a grifter to me. I keep waiting for him to actually accomplish any of the fantastical things he's set out to do but he's essentially just a glorified hype man and ""ideas guy"".
Seems pretty successful to me
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_9
I mean far more than what can be said about the YouTube eceleb grifters you watch everyday while getting their Jollies off on donations
Musk could be exaggerating, I have no way to know. But whoever they got to comment on it could just as well have political reasons for wanting to smear him. If actual top players from back then remembered him from Quake, I presume by his old username, then that says enough really.
I tried playing quake 2 with my torture the other day and don’t get me wrong I understand the appeal of arena shooting gameplay, but holy shot the game was disgusting brown, the guns felt like shit to use, and the maps were labyrinths of tight corridors. It was not fun. Also why the frick is quad damage a thing? What happened to double or triple damage?

Back then being the best at a game usually meant you just had the best connection. It wasn't hard to be in the 99th percectile of players when half the players are warping in the corner or idling in the server to chat.
I have no idea what you're trying to say with this post. He was a tourney player. No one "wrote this story for him" because there is no story, it's a bunch of celebrity gossip articles based on a couple sentences he said in the Lex Fridman interview. It's not like his PR team put out a statement bragging or anything. He just mentioned it while chatting.

Elon and his buddies played a lot of Quake back in the day. Seeing as how he was playing on the same servers as the absolute peak players he can't have been too awful.
Someone should go talk shit to him about this on TwitteX, maybe get him to show off on some public server
I was the second best Half Life deathmatch player in my home city, I came second in the one and only town-wide tournament we had meant to settle things once and for all co-hosted by a few cybercafes, with about 200 participants
Based. I was the second best Smash Bros. Melee player Among my high school friends. We had a tournament and I came in second (never fought a Sheik before the final match, didn't know what to do). If I want to build myself up more, I could say that my group of friends were probably the only ones holding Smash tournaments. So 2nd at my high school at best but that's unlikely. I'm sure some dudes we didn't know were better than us.
I remember good players from 15 years ago in games I played.
Found some anons here that remembered me on a particular mod / server as well from 12 years ago.
I mean it's pretty memorable that "this guy is the Zip2 guy and I see him online all the time." They didn't just bring Thresh in to say it either, he brought it up himself on some podcast.
Anyone who actually thought Elon was a top Quake player doesn't realize how full of shit he always is. The fact that he's an oldie and was acknowledged is just a fun fact and that's it.
Its just normal stuff, you can ask most 40+ year olds about wether they were good at their highschool sports or the vidya they used to play and most people will claim to have been much better than they actually were, selective memory. Hardly anything to get upset about
That sounds like a whole lot of making excuses for patently lying. It's a pretty tall claim to be best at anything "in the world". Especially in a game culture where "being the best" is literally legendary status. Something Elon should know better about.
>rich man has normal human trait everyone uses in job interviews (exaggeration to make himself seem like a more interesting person) >everyone and their mother comes around fact checking and shitting on him even though anybody with any social skills can tell it's a playful boast
I mean he certainly isn't one of the best because he wasn't at any tourneys, he never went to prove it back and nobody can prove it now so him being literally "one of the best" is hot air.
But everyone trying to dogpile the guy for saying "yeah I used to be pretty good at quake back in the day" is as desperate for attention as he is. It's trendy to like him, it's trendy to shit on him, it's trendy to talk about this guy in any way shape or form, and shit like this pulls in money for """journalists""". Stop caring about actual celebrity gossip because it lets the press get away with twisting words and hyperbole. You're grown ass men.

We were the team that beat him and Zip2. We were Clan Olympus (dumb name, yes). It was the first tournament held by MPath/Mplayer (that eventually hosted the Red Annihilation single player game that awarded the Ferrari). I remember distinctly going to their webpage after playing against them in the final and seeing their "about" page with their executive profiles. All were unremarkable looking 20-something unkempt nerds, much like we were, and didn't think anything of it until Elon became a billionaire and his ties to his older companies became public knowledge.

"Are you bribing the MAE East admins to sit on their bandwidth?", "You should be handicapped" (I was on UMD's Digex T3 connection back then for the record). It was absolutely Elon, lol."
When did Elon move to the states? He lived in South Africa for a bit right? If he's playing Quake tournaments, he's probably at his late teens back then.
even if that were true, it would be impossible to confirm if he didnt compete. it's somewhat believable because he was an afrikaaner, rich kid who had access to computers before anyone else and was a loafer in college. he could have very well been top 50 in north america at one point. though, unless he provides proof like tourney results or even ingame handle, it's all hearsay.
>All the subhuman leftists/democrats cheering on EU government trying to frick over twitter because of "hate speech"
They really don't want anywhere big/popular that right-wingers can reside without immediately being censored/banned to exist. Being totally genuine here, if you believe/hold any democratic beliefs, or agree with said beliefs, you deserve to be hurt, censored, and more. I'm honestly waiting for the next mass shooting to happen in their shitholes cities at this point. We haven't had any in a long time, which is unfortunate. These "people" need to leave Earth and fast.
>censorship and bans is fine if it's for my side

No-one sane actually believes in free speech. You don't gain ANYTHING from the opposition's beliefs being able to be spouted freely, spreading to more people and eventually taking over theirs.
>censorship and bans is fine when it's against mentally-ill shit that makes the world worse
FTFY. Censor leftists/democrat beliefs is objectively good.
Being called mentally-ill doesn't really mean anything coming from you people, honestly.
I don't care who the shooters actually were. As long as they resulted in people like leftists being the victims.

I never gave a shit about comp but I played with comp players when I cared, but statics/etc never sat right, I didn't want to have a 2nd job. Same thing with MMOs.

>money is the ONLY thing that matters! (except when we do it and our game companies go bankrupt!)
He's said multiple times that he didn't buy twitter for the money, he did it because he believed that leftists are a death cult that is destroying Western civilization. Obviously going against that isn't going to be cheap when the advertisers are all israeli and want mass censorship or right wingers, much like you two do
In the short term because he's owned the site for like a year. He just cares about money, the internet isn't your battleground, you are not living in a Marvel movie
Anon, this might come as a shock to you but rich people actually do have opinions on things and the way they spend their money is often a reflection of their opinions.
Musk wanted to own the libs and be a massive attentionprostitute, so he bought Twitter for $40 billion (and that was an incredibly wasteful purchase, he's never making that back) to do it.
>Trump out of nowhere
Bud your entire side are grifters, the tabloid pieces like OP or the ecelebs you watch and donate to that spout misinformation all while your politicians line their own pockets
Lmao
Idk lefties used to dick suck him but because he said free speech they don't like him anymore. Also it's bizarre projection when most people aren't actually supporting Elon musk but in the fact that he causes lefties to seethe.
The mere existence of him is their existence. Kind of like how lefties used to deep throat Putin back in 2008 now that he's a loser they try to accuse the other group doing what they used to do.
Lmao bud do you still have your Putin person of the year posters in your room or have you hid those in shame already?
Why don't you move to eastern europe already you little moron
I could believe that he played a lot of Quake back in the day. However, judging by his Elden Ring and Diablo 4 performance he obviously sucks at video games.

They don't mind Hassan being rich because their views align with his. Even the hypocrisy of him being a fake communist doesn't matter since their beliefs are all fake anyway
Honestly I think anyone who says they could beat someone like Elon in a game of wits let alone one of skill is fricking delusional. It'd be like trying to fight Mike Tyson.
In the context of playing quake yeah I am confident a lot of people could kick his ass. Elon is a skilled business man that does not automatically make him good at games. that's like saying because mike Tyson was nigh unbeatable in boxing he would be just as good in a gun or swordfight.
I'm not a subhuman, pathetic jealous b***h so I don't care about anyone being a millionaire or a billionaire. I only care if they're a millionaire or billionaire and have shit, terrible beliefs, since then they have the means and potential power to spread said beliefs.
Why hasn't he told Rogan this? He's been in his pod twice. I bet Rogan would challenge his ass, since he said he was good, and they both haven't played in ages.
You're as moronic as your average leftist.

No? I've never said anything about Elon before the post you quoted. I don't talk about this shit openly. Any other words you wanna put in my mouth?
all political parties are guilty of misinforming the public and lying about eachother, everyone in parliament should be lynched infront of the public. simple fricking as.
It's our job to keep people in check, straying from the one and honest path is how one enters the Devil's flock. People like Elon do God's work by ensuring that the Left are stifled as much as possible, their methods and language cannot exist in a true free society because they only seek to disrupt and destroy what good the Right has created. If you weren't here to argue in bad faith, probably as a paid actor or fed, you would know this to be true.
Leftists/Democrats shouldn't be censoring anyone since they're brainfricked subhumans who should be the ones censored. Stop trying to pretend everything is the same and every action exists in a vacuum.
Given his inability to take jokes and criticism at his expense I am going to call bullshit I doubt he played for very long given all the trash talking he would have received back then. Of course if he played today he would make sure its with a group of sycophant's that would never dare insult him.
I mostly only hear anything about him because trannies and other moron npc tweeterbrains seeth so much over everything he does. Hard to not like the guy
Newsflash, no one gives a shit if he was or wasn't, he's a 50 year old manchild either way
He's indisputably successful though. Also, I hope I can have such a youthful attitude and energy when I'm 50. Are you just mad he ruined your twitter?
I'm like less than half his age so yeah I think it's still rather pathetic for a 50 year old man with hair plugs to still be bragging about being good at boomer shooters lol
>Maybe he wasn't the best but he's recognised as an OG, was probably playing Quake and UT when you were shitting diapers.
Here in is the issue with Musk, "one of the top Quake players in the world" is an extreme claim and largely a lie.
"I used to play with some of the top Quake players in the world, including [Quake tournament winning guy]" is a defensible and reasonable claim (and the truth).
>Who would have thought???
I wouldn't have thought it possible, to the extent that surely this homosexual has an entire team of people that manages his entire public persona the way all richgays do?
It boggles the mind; like everything you say as a richgay celebrity high profile moron is going to be scrutinized and any deviation from the absolute truth is going to cost you credibility.
Even if it's something stupid and trivial like this, it's going to make your brand less desirable, it's going to make people feel that much less inclined to take a chance on your business venture or whatever for fear of being stained by your brand's diminished value.
Like, even if he himself has no concept of any of this (which wouldn't make sense), he's got to have tard wranglers that make this type of shit their life's work, surely?
OP BTFO. your response? Maybe he wasn't the best but he's recognised as an OG, was probably playing Quake and UT when you were shitting diapers.
, he wasn't very good.
He wasn't hanging with them in the sense of doing well, he was just a guy that hung out with them in their server and played. A groupie basically.
We can't know who's exaggerating here, except to say that zip2 isn't a name anyone knows in the list of successful Quake players.
Look at what happened when Ganker tried to raid Darksydephil, they all got fricking destroyed on stream and multip[le tripgays stopped using the trip out of shame.
You've overestimating Ganker, and underestimating a guy that's playted this shit since the 90s
I don't have a horse in this race, my broader point is that Musk did a classic richgay moron thing and bragged.
He exaggerated the truth, made a crazy claim that he thought no one would verify, in order to impress someone he was talking to.
Normal people can get away with that (at the risk of being labeled "that guy that exaggerates shit"), but not someone with the celebrity of Elon Musk.

He's fighting the left so he's good.
Its pretty questionable that you're against him. Why are you so angry that some people wants to fight leftists brainwashing? Got something to tell us?
So what do you call a useful idiot that follows a bigger jackass?
I know you're baiting but for anyone else reading corporations are not your friend. Musk going "erhmmm I hate WOKE!!" doesn't magically wash his hands of being an all around bloodsucker with an ego the size of the moon (which he said he'd reach by now btw)
Not him, but I don't give a frick about any of that. All that matter is that he pushes my objectively correct views and beliefs. I will praise him because he has the means, power, and visibility to broadcast my beliefs to millions of people.

Yes, yes different people bad and ruined Ganker which is well known for being a place where your identity as a true and honest Gankerdler is literally the first and foremost thing of importance.
lol so you're one of those people who is upset about getting called. god i wish moot came back and fixed everything

you dont even know what the frick that means. stop pretending to be an oldgay, it's embarrassing.
>Wah you weren't specifically referring to feds honeypotting morons so you can't call it vanning
You (and moot) expected most of the website to just cease to exist after that point anyway.
i dont understand the point of your larp, like what do you expect to accomplish? do you want me to say "oh im sorry you actually are le epic oldgay despite not even knowing the slang, i kneel shitposter-sama"?
Look buddy I get you're mad that the people you don't like just vanish from existence when they get banned.
That's got to be incredibly painful.
But covering up your ears and screaming that I don't have enough Ganker karma and that I'm not a REAAAAAAL Gankerdler is just proving YOU don't understand this website.
Especially since you keep dancing around the fact that moot perma'd a ton of people during gamergate and after that a bunch of homosexualy ass forums came over here because it was some sort of "victory" and try to keep up with this delusional fantasy of yours where Ganker was super invaded by like a heckin million outziderz when even a basic understanding of the website at the time would make it incredibly obvious that said outsiders would have been banned.
You're literally whining that people that like gaming, still use the videogame board on the anonymous website while pretending to be the very real person who totally understands how this website works and that it's your secret club, and not that it hasn't historically been one of the most populated websites on the internet forever.
you're too new to understand. you can keep screaming about you totally understood a culture that died before you were even here but that's not convincing anyone. watching youtube videos about habbo raids is not the same as actually being there before traffic exploded
>No no no you're new! You're not a true and honest Gankerdler
Yes, that is what I am arguing. The original userbase was replaced, you can clearly see it by looking at the traffic graph. You're trying to argue that nothing changed, but that doesn't make any sense because how would you know if you weren't even there?

oh right I see, anybody who criticizes him is actually one of dark brandon's agents how could I forget
I mean it's literally 2 week old news that the feds manufactured these companies and you'd just be dishonest to pretend like that isn't what these companies are here for.
I'm going to be completely honest with you, I don't give a frick about you subhumans' "freedom of speech". I again nothing from leftists/democrats spreading their mentally-ill dogshit but more shit people existing, and a worse world. I laugh and viciously make fun anytime I see news of leftists getting censored, deplatformed, etcetera.
yes everyone knows that, which is why it's so pathetic when you morons pretend otherwise
Lmao it's always funny when you lefties each other alive, you guys actively vote against your own economic interest and literal wellbeing
There's nothing I "pretend" about. Of course I care when people who share my views/beliefs and more get censored and deplatformed, idiot. I don't give a frick when leftists get censored because the shit they push is BAD and fricked. Them not being able to spew their terrible shit is good.
I support the censoring and in-general misfortune of leftists, yes.
Let me rephrase, that's why it's so pathetic when ELON MUSK crows about freedom of speech, pretending to have any principles whatsoever.
I talk about "free speech" sometimes to get the people I share views with unbanned/uncensored. Pretty smart to do.
If they have the means to spread my views to many others, sure. If the whole nation of China started pushing the stuff I believed, you bet I'd praise them.
So if they told you to eat dog shit to defeat your "enemies" would you do it?
No because that's obviously not beneficial to me nor my views. You're not very smart nor good at this, are you?
Hey, I'm not some politically obsessed moron who wouldn't notice the grifters picking his pocket. Hell, you'd probably open it for them.
Muh "grifter" doesn't matter. All that matters is that the correct beliefs are being pushed. Doesn't matter if Musk or whoever doesn't actually believe in what they say. All that matters is the thousands of others getting said things stuck in their brains, and they adopt those ideas.
You really have no backbone and/or an idiot who can't see the forest from the trees.

>I have no backbone and will follow any idiot that says stuff that makes me feel good
>I will support anything, including those who would wish me harm if it affects OTHER SIDE
But I wish harm on you as-well. You guys should really understand no-one like you "people", and that you all wouldn't be missed if you didn't wake up tomorrow. Does anyone remember the 900+ leftists that get shot all the time in the monthly mass shootings? Exactly, no-one does. You couldn't name a single one. Because not a single one of them did anything good for the world. and all they brought was their shitty mental-illness to normal-society around them.
the bill of rights is confetti at this point, squawking about muh freedom of speech is just Fox News speed limit shit to keep the center/right from retaliating against left controlled-opposition
Insitituional power on all "sides" has shown that its happy to deplatform anyone instantly with no warning when uniparty third rails are touched
On the contrary it's pretty powerful actually, which is the reason you can't just sue people to bankruptcy for saying something mean about you the way you can in shitholes like the UK. Some states (freedom-loving California for instance) even have anti-SLAPP laws that force the litigator to pay up instead for these frivolous lawsuits.

Its like people forget that PR is fricking important and you need to play the game. If you don't, you run the risk of losing money unless you have a plan, which he didn't.

>It's usually the nazis that are pedophiles

It's funny cause it's true, right wingers are arrested for sex abuse against minors all the fricking time. Their mugshots are always flushed red old white men caught in the act, or neckbearded "trad" fatasses who got caught with terabytes of CP. It's fricking hilarious

Shut the frick up moron. He spews autism near constantly and the only reason he got a pass for so long is because he was "le quirky rich mane".
Why do people always seem to think that the big bad media villains that they hate are literally bad at literally everything? Like people criticize trump for golf all the time, literally just because he's not the best golfer in the world. You don't just become a billionaire by accident. It requires a lot of different skills.
its just classic female behavior, passed on to daughters(male) via single motherhood
It's an ego thing, if everyone you don't like (especially for being more successful than you) is stupid, evil, incompetent or whatever you feel better about it
I've honestly seen people on Twitter or reddit or something saying about trump "I don't care if there's no proof, I can totally see him do this so I'll believe it anyway". These are the exact same people who ask for proof on literally everything and then refuse to read it because they don't like the source it came from
How can you be this fricking dense? You don’t have to like him only because ”the left” or ”libs” hate him.
Trump and Elon are both obvious compulsive liars. I don’t know if constant blatant lying is ok in America, but in Europe it isn’t. You can’t trust literally anything Musk or Trump say or promise, because it has a high chance of being narcissitic delusional bullshit.
>You don't just become a billionaire by accident. It requires a lot of different skills.
No it requires a lot of money, which you can make very slowly by having a lot of skills, or have it handed to you like Trump did. Also it requires you to not be a total sperg. Trump acts like a moron sometimes but he is a very charismatic person.
>LEAVE THE POOR BILLIONAIRE ALONE
Look man... I don't think at this point anyone should play red vs blue anymore. If you want to hate everything that isn't European then fine but let's not act as if the conservative party hasn't been a joke for these last few years
>Successful
Yes
>Smart
No
Eh, he's smart at certain things (like making money) but dumb at others. The problem with Elon is he's the type to think being successful and smart at some things makes your opinion on everything valuable.
I mean so does Bill gates, and leftards such his wiener on everything he says even if he has no credibility in the field
and you are neither. So Elon Musk >>>>>>>>> You and everyone else in this thread LMAO homosexual
Piss poor bait
I harass him because he smoked weed once
if any anon here uses drugs I hope you have a nice day
ok quentin
Trooncord hated that one
Truth.
>for no reason
Dude thinks of his workers slaves. But actually unironically.
But sure. Simp for the guy anyway.
>Fellates a man that thinks of him as a product.
LMAO!
Elon, is that you? Post Black person Elon, come on don't be a b***h.
He's a fricking cartoon character who constantly seeks attention because even though he's born in an emerald mine owning family that let hin bruteforce any career goal he'll need be able to afford genuine affection, only reason to not shit of him is out of pity
t. Others
~~*therapist*~~
FPBP. NPD is a hell of a thing. You know him being boo'd at the Nigpelle show ate him alive.
Yea totally lol his life is in shambles kek. Dumbass frickin rocket scientist lol
He's not even a rocket scientist, he has a bachelor's degree (2 year degree) and used his inheritance apartheid emerald money to buy out successful companies so he could take credit. He's the modern Thomas Edison who rails ketamine and posts the lamest boomer memes imaginable
>Actually believing the emerald mine myth
Lmao which grifter do you watch?
It's not a myth Elon, your dad admitted it himself you annoying homosexual.
Not even snopes is going to cover for you here bro you grifted moron
>Grifted!! Grifted!!
This means nothing when you're on the right wing because you worship the king of grifters. Buy some more bored apes you buffoon, your billionaire worship is absolutely pathetic.
>Trumps not a grifter he's a hero that's why he emails me asking for money
Lmao whatever helps you sleep at night.
>Trump out of nowhere
Bud your entire side are grifters, the tabloid pieces like OP or the ecelebs you watch and donate to that spout misinformation all while your politicians line their own pockets
Lmao
>bachelor's degree (2 year degree)
Is this how it works in South Africa? Or are you just an underage, third-world dumbfrick?
LMAO, FINALLY
There is at least one musk dick sucker who isn't sub 80 iq, good job king of midwits
What gave you the impression that I am a Musk dicksucker, anon?
He went to school in Canada Black person
Ok, and in Canada two years of college nets you a global Bachelor's degree?
Because here in the US, it's a 4-year degree.
It’s a third world country who knows.
t. member of the """others""" gang
dude needs an analyst and a therapist. maybe even both at the same time. an analrapist
Therapy is a pseudo science. All the "healing" that you get is from having somebody to talk to. Your average bartender makes a better therapist than most licenced ones.
Psychologists definitely.
Psychiatrists can prescribe way better drugs than your bartender though.
man, i still dont believe how weird my psychologist was. white fat old dude who went crab fishing with his japanese wife (that he brought back). told me he did free mental health counselling for those cute young girls doing that "leek dance" on youtube. waiting room full of civil war firearms books. once spent an entire session just sitting in his 4wd truck in the parking lot, listening to obama give a state of the union or something address.
every session was like "dont reveal your power level, dont reveal your power level, dont reveal your power level...".
vegetales figurines all over the fricking office

>OTHERS say he wasn't
>Doesn't list OTHERS
>probably cites some shitposts on Ganker
Why are "Journalists" like this?
"Others" in this case refers to Dennis "Thresh" Fong, who is widely considered one of the best quake player ever. He won John Carmack's Ferrari 328 in a tourny in 1997. He says Musk was pretty bad. But you were too busy bootlicking to read half a page into the article.
nta but maybe it's a case of a top 10 player saying he's shit because he was only top 1000 or something. not sure how it is in quake but in most rts a top 10 player will destroy a rank 500 player every time even though the rank 500 player is still better than 99% of the world
I think this is probably the case, for a time in the 2000s, I was a "top" player in CSS, I would top all of the best servers consistently, and I was not an AWP gay. Then I tried tournaments, I did okay in the entry ones but at the medium level ones I was getting slapped.
I thought after thousands of hours I was literally one of the best players in the world. There's always some russian out there better at you
this is 100% the case. used to be a pro cs:s and cs:go player up until 2015, and pretty much everyone considered everything except for the ~top300 players trash
there is a massive skill gap between what normies consider a god player and what an actual professional god player is
>used to be a pro cs:s and cs:go player up until 2015
No you weren't, why even make up shit like that?
You are probably some average shitter with huge ego.
Depends on his definition of bad. Top players can have a massively skewed view of the playerbase usually.
For someone in top 10, a top 100 player can be regarded as bad.
Just the fact that they even remember his in-game name is pretty telling.
And yet, from what I know of Musk just the fact that he’s the one saying it makes it instantly questionable.
Obviously just a case of terminally online man that can't let go of the keyboard vs. trash gaming journos that have a hate boner against him
>one of the best quake players knows him
are you moronic? he must be pretty good to be playing against the best players
>He thinks quake had matchmaking
Frickin zoomers get out
>people can't hang out on a server and know each other
what are you some kind of moron?
That's what is being said. They know each other if doesn't mean musk ever came remotely close to beating the guy.
I was in the top 1% of starcraft players and I'm sure any of the grandmasters would've called me trash because from their perspective I was.
A reasonable point except musk said he was one of the top players in the world, not just pretty good. A top player worldwide wouldn't say another top player worldwide is "not very good." Musk also pretty much known for lying constantly and/or greatly exaggerating his own capabilities.
there is no better empirical measure of who was "best in the world" in the past other than who was playing in the cash prize tournaments. if he played there and did decently he's entitled to the claim. of course there could be thousands of people way better than him at that time elsewhere in the world, but there's no way to know. he has more credentials in this case than any of the haters. and it was just some passing comment in a long interview, the people making a big deal out of it are the shitty gossip column writers, not him.
It's pretty easy to be known for "constantly lying" when liberal homosexuals keep saying that literally everything he says is a lie no matter how petty they sound
leftist*
>a couple offhand comments launch a thousand dramatic clickbait articles
many such cases, sad
>"Others" in this case refers to Dennis "Thresh" Fong, who is widely considered one of the best quake player ever. He won John Carmack's Ferrari 328 in a tourny in 1997. He says Musk was pretty bad. But you were too busy bootlicking to read half a page into the article.
If one of, if not the best quake players around is even aware of elon having played.....wouldn't that put elon at a pretty reasonable level?
because you cant fit an article in a headline.
do you actually believe he is tho?
>~~*others*~~
Level-headed people follow other level-headed people, people with mental illnesses tend worship others with mental illnesses (while pretending neither party is mentally ill).
See: Support for Musk, Trump, Peter Molyneux, etc
Enjoy your knife wounds
I pub stomped QuakeWorld when I was a 5 year old
"Others" say you didn't. So therefore you didn't.
I knew a kid who said you could play as Sephiroth in FF7 I didn't write a fricking news article about it. I hate this planet.
He probably just had a GameShark, Anon.
Uh, you can? There's that whole section post-Midgar where he becomes a playable party member in that flashback.
Kek, Quakeworld's history is easily searchable, along with who was who in terms of skill and prize winnings. It's was the mid to late 90s, not that long ago
Musk was not a legendary of player
His username was Zip2 according to the article I just found.
Yes, Joe Rogan also played back in the day. But to claim he was one of the best is just lunacy. You will not find a demo of him beating a pro or winning anything of relevance
>You will not find a demo of him beating a pro or winning anything of relevance
He says he came second at the first tournament with a cash prize so in his mind he was one of the best players in America.
Imagine a gaming medium where you could just meet people who would go on to become billionaires. Instead of people who go on to become troons and dead by 40.
you can still do that
those quake gamers werent doing anything different from today, just networking
instead of wasting mental energy and time on troons just talk about business to business and engage with others that have those ideas
Someone recorded coming across Phil Spencer in Fallout 76. He was just chilling playing the game and someone figured out it was him
Nepotism in action
There's also this from 1999
https://newsweek.com/making-killing-quake-164056
So he did play a bunch, and probably was better than vast majority of people (as is pretty much anyone who spends a long time playing one game a bunch), but not "top player"
Yeah, it applies to a lot of people. Always hated when they had Bill Gates on getting interviewed about some bullshit outside his expertise.
Though is that talking about Rich Sorkin and not Elon? Rich was the CEO, Elon was CTO I think.
https://esreality.com/post/2875079/elon-musk-played-quake-and-his-quake-team-won-money/#pid2967856
If true, then I probably played against Musk myself back in the day... BUT there is really no way to verify this.
The early days of internet gaming are pretty much a permanent terra incognita, as nearly nothing was documented. Youtube, Twitch and so on didn't even exist until many years later. Gaming was just all about having FUN back then.
That said, I was really good Jedi Knight player on the "Internet Gaming Zone" back in the day, but I bet nobody actually remembers AtomicDlux anymore.
mostly unrelated so stop reading now, but it was nice to find out that you may of may of not killed/played with a dev in cod modern warfare because of a dev only weapon. tl;dr there was a magnum revolver, and normal players could only have certain attachments, but devs could put a silencer and a scope on it, so if you found one/got killed by one/picked one up, you probably interacted with a dev
>Was a quake player back in the day
>Trying to base it off tournaments
All other metrics are bullshit
"lmao I never beat rapha but I could totally play on the QPL, I'm pretty sure I'm one of the best Quake players just from watching my own gameplay ;^)"
Dude even if you're slightly aware of esports even you'd be able to figure out it's an entertainment medium first before an actual sport.
You really think the melee community would sandbag for years against the dickhead playing fricking jigglypuff?
Get real.
compulsive liar on way too many drugs
I was one of the top 99% of Quake 3 players
I was unironically the top player and indisputable number 1 in Quake 3 arena and Unreal Tournament 99 back in the early 2000's in my local lan house.
I loved jumping.
>others say he wasn't
who reads this trash?
Did he heal up for his match with Zuck yet?
Was this really an article that had to be written? That had to be greenlit to be published?
This homie's sycophants eat shit like this up. You say Elon Musk and his whole internet defense squad clicks.
So the site's so starved for views that they devolve to writing shit like this? That doesn't make it any better.
its literally how the internet works now. need to drive up clicks and engagement.
like videogames pivoting to live service and MTX.
it's crazy how blind the fanboyism behind him is. he talks like a teenager desperately trying to fit in, his opinions on games aren't even opinions, he just regurgitates what he thinks is the most "in" thing to say to gain more traction. look, elden ring is cool and all but it is genuinely nowhere near one of the best games of all time, and him bringing up quake like he did is such a pathetic "seeeee!!! I'm an oldgay!!" attempt. i figure most people see right through this shit but some of you are truly braindead if you don't
eh my mom said the same thing about quaking while growing up 20 years ago, honestly she just had a really good time and was nostalgic for it
then she moved on and became an alcoholic prostitute
ELON DUEL ME IN QUAKE NAO
He certainly was one of the quake players of all time.
I can beat anyone in this thread, I can dominate all of you.
Frick off you unironic e-celeb wiener suckers. I would lambaste you and your gay gods. I am THE fricking server clearer.
I don't know what's more pathetic, Musk in his fifties trying to be le quirky chungus or the collective aneurysm and seething from the npcs after
>I don't know what's more pathetic; one person being a dick, or hundreds of millions of leftoids getting mad about it
Gee it's a mystery
Musk is hilarious, I can't help but cheer for him
He makes the biggest pseud morons on both "sides" seethe and shart uncontrollably
I wish he was funnier but hes not that funny
Lefties are so mad they can't just spout misinformation on x (formerly Sneed) without getting fact checked so they write rent free tabloid pieces on Musk
Just two more weeks until X is finished am I rite sissysisters??
well yeah, they've lost billions and billions of dollars since his takeover. 20b alone with the rebranding and devaluing of the brand.
and we also know he's talking bullshit about the site still growing because of the court docs showing massive drops in actual user engagement as people simply stop using it.
It's nearly been two years already give it a rest.
You will keep supporting tabloid grift pieces till the day you die
>court documents supplied by twitter/x
>grift piece
okay
I have no doubt that je was the best quake player in all of africa back in the day. World may be hyperbole.
nickname?

>Zip2
Kay,
dudes
Elon vs Joe Rogan
Is this frickin epic or what?
Yes. Do eet. Do you let them train or go in blind? Both haven't played in ages.
>bootlicking is ok as long as its contrarian
fricking Ganker, man
Mmmmmmaybe you're the contrarian bootlicker tho
sure okay dude
Why is me not hating Musk and liking him for spouting my values "bootlicking"? I can't not hate him because he's rich or something?
>i am all of Ganker
youre purposefully ignoring all the shitposting or so stuck in your own world
>heh what about... other bootlicker
There's no bigger bootlicker than a lefty
>How to get a progressive to deepthroat a boot with one simply trick

>be musk
>do a little trolling on twitter
>ELON MUSK CLAIMED HE DID THIS x 1000 articles spawn out of nowhere
>EVERYONE DISAGREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why is this morono always in the news?
He's trending these days. His name and presence generates attention from NPCs
>be bogeyman of the shitpress
>say literally anything
>1000 articles drop simultaneously
He's the richest man in the world, owns one of the biggest communication platforms in the core web and people are fricking furious about that and desperately trying to stop that from being true.
He literally killed billions and destroyed democracy
He baits and people eat it up.
Training the NPCs for Musk to be their sleeper agent activation code. Big Deodorant is finished. Bars of soap stock is tanking
Like clockwork
The left is mad at him for not being left
I'm not left at all, but Elon is annoying as frick regardless of his politics.
Lolbert or lying leftoid?
Nah, I just dislike him as a person despite agreeing with him on many things. Shouldn't be hard to believe.
He's going to get Kanye'd. They will sue him for ten trillion dollars and surgically remove his prefrontal cortex.
Because he is desperate for positive attention and validation.
He woke up one day, probably aftet one of his many divorces or maybe when his troony kid said they hated him and realized that he is alone in the world and that he is feeling a deep void inside his chest that is slowly consuning his whole being. He believes the adoration of the masses can slow this progression, so he keeps making desperate bids for popularity.
And since he had some residual popularity from better times, media outlets consider him profitable, especially due to the growing number of antifans.
>be big famous corporation guy
>don't push for woke shit every second every single day for once
>become persona non grata in the eyes of 90% of the media
Many such cases.
He bought twitter so he would always be trending on twitter, and news articles these days are just about what's trending on twitter.
i am amazing hl2dm player. bet if i played quake i would dominate quake shitters easily
Elon is so full of shit. Listening to him try to talk about martial arts on Rogan was painful. I like SpaceX and he's a step up from the previous Twitter owners (not hard though, he's still doing a shit job). But Elon is a lame attention prostitute who seems desperate to be liked.
>he's a step up from the previous Twitter owners
Given that he made a company that was barely breaking even (impressive feat for social media btw) lose over half its value in less than a year, I think he's a significant step down.
>pretty much the entire world of media and advertising goes against you
>heh, see, you are so incompetent!
its amazing how the people who hate this guy and the people who like this guy are equally annoying
its amazing how the people who wander in and complain about both sides as if they're above it all are peak annoying
Probably not.
I don't play Quake, I'm more of a Doom 2 guy
so uhh... proof?
asking for proof is a lefty mentality.
i fricked your mom
I'm sorry anon, that was uncalled for. I shouldn't bring mothers into this.
Musk threads really bring out the seething discord homosexuals
Maybe just within South Africa he could have been, can't imagine there was much competition.
I never played Quake... what did I miss out on?
HUH
You can still play it anon. You could also play Half-Life Death Match right now which is similar.
I think i'll pass. plenty of other more modern games that apeal to me more.
For such an old game I'm surprised it still has much of an online community.
>For such an old game I'm surprised it still has much of an online community.
That's what happens when a game with a certain appeal doesn't have a good spiritual successor.
It's pretty decent if you filter out all the autists and have people that actually want to have a good time.
He always seemed kind of like a grifter to me. I keep waiting for him to actually accomplish any of the fantastical things he's set out to do but he's essentially just a glorified hype man and ""ideas guy"".
You're totally right! He made his fortune by just saying "guys wouldn't it be cool if...", because becoming rich is just that easy
By that logic, anyone who is rich has done it through ingenuity and hard work, then?
Seems pretty successful to me
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_9
I mean far more than what can be said about the YouTube eceleb grifters you watch everyday while getting their Jollies off on donations
>missing out on leftist grifter cannibalism kino
This palestine shit is hilarious
I don't doubt it. After all, he was a game developer back in the 90s.
All LPB’s thought they were one of the top players because they were due to superior latency
Musk could be exaggerating, I have no way to know. But whoever they got to comment on it could just as well have political reasons for wanting to smear him. If actual top players from back then remembered him from Quake, I presume by his old username, then that says enough really.
>he said it so it must be true
... this board gets worse every day
Quakies btfo
I tried playing quake 2 with my torture the other day and don’t get me wrong I understand the appeal of arena shooting gameplay, but holy shot the game was disgusting brown, the guns felt like shit to use, and the maps were labyrinths of tight corridors. It was not fun. Also why the frick is quad damage a thing? What happened to double or triple damage?
I’ll stick to halo thanks.

Read his team came in second at some big Quake tournament back the day, is that true?
Back then being the best at a game usually meant you just had the best connection. It wasn't hard to be in the 99th percectile of players when half the players are warping in the corner or idling in the server to chat.
irrelevant in tournaments, which were LAN, and tournaments are the topic of discussion, not pwning noobs on public servers
If he was a tourney player, other people would have wrote this story for him years ago.
I have no idea what you're trying to say with this post. He was a tourney player. No one "wrote this story for him" because there is no story, it's a bunch of celebrity gossip articles based on a couple sentences he said in the Lex Fridman interview. It's not like his PR team put out a statement bragging or anything. He just mentioned it while chatting.

According to certified top Quake players
Elon and his buddies played a lot of Quake back in the day. Seeing as how he was playing on the same servers as the absolute peak players he can't have been too awful.
Someone should go talk shit to him about this on TwitteX, maybe get him to show off on some public server
dude trust me
I don't wanna dox myself. You guys are weirdos and I have 50/50 percent change of getting my dick sucked by a guy or have my dog bombed
>J-JUST TRUST ME BRO!
Why do morons give Elongays attention?
I was the second best Half Life deathmatch player in my home city, I came second in the one and only town-wide tournament we had meant to settle things once and for all co-hosted by a few cybercafes, with about 200 participants
My neighbour came first
Cool. You win anything anon?
About 50 hours of free time valid in any of the cybercafes, and a GPU. He got a full PC and some more hours
Based. I was the second best Smash Bros. Melee player Among my high school friends. We had a tournament and I came in second (never fought a Sheik before the final match, didn't know what to do). If I want to build myself up more, I could say that my group of friends were probably the only ones holding Smash tournaments. So 2nd at my high school at best but that's unlikely. I'm sure some dudes we didn't know were better than us.
i thought he was working 20 hours a day. how has he time to play games.
when richgays talk about "working" what they mean is sending and reading emails.
That can be work. Cant do it while playing quake though. Though mollysk was talking about his college or w/e days i thought.
>top quake player
>nobody has heard of him
He was probably decent on pub lobbies.
>nobody has heard of him
>except this top quake player who we brought in to say he sucks yet who somehow remembers him after all this time
I remember good players from 15 years ago in games I played.
Found some anons here that remembered me on a particular mod / server as well from 12 years ago.
I mean it's pretty memorable that "this guy is the Zip2 guy and I see him online all the time." They didn't just bring Thresh in to say it either, he brought it up himself on some podcast.
Anyone who actually thought Elon was a top Quake player doesn't realize how full of shit he always is. The fact that he's an oldie and was acknowledged is just a fun fact and that's it.
Its just normal stuff, you can ask most 40+ year olds about wether they were good at their highschool sports or the vidya they used to play and most people will claim to have been much better than they actually were, selective memory. Hardly anything to get upset about
That sounds like a whole lot of making excuses for patently lying. It's a pretty tall claim to be best at anything "in the world". Especially in a game culture where "being the best" is literally legendary status. Something Elon should know better about.
>rich man has normal human trait everyone uses in job interviews (exaggeration to make himself seem like a more interesting person)
>everyone and their mother comes around fact checking and shitting on him even though anybody with any social skills can tell it's a playful boast
I mean he certainly isn't one of the best because he wasn't at any tourneys, he never went to prove it back and nobody can prove it now so him being literally "one of the best" is hot air.
But everyone trying to dogpile the guy for saying "yeah I used to be pretty good at quake back in the day" is as desperate for attention as he is. It's trendy to like him, it's trendy to shit on him, it's trendy to talk about this guy in any way shape or form, and shit like this pulls in money for """journalists""". Stop caring about actual celebrity gossip because it lets the press get away with twisting words and hyperbole. You're grown ass men.
>he wasn't at any tourneys
yes he was, that is what this whole topic is about, that's what he was talking about when he said it
no he wasn't he just made that up.
you just made that up
no you made that up
Oh, well then if I had a hat I'd eat it. Sure. Still, whatever. It's highschool girl behavior to obsess over people you'll never meet.
>It's highschool girl behavior to obsess over people you'll never meet.
I agree but tell that to the people writing the articles and making these threads
>could you beat him?
It's just an arena shooter, how hard could it be?
>its that leftroon raider that accuses everyone of not being an oldgay

You don't think most of the 30+ year-olds who post here were edgelords like yourself when they were in high school? Come one now, man-- use that shitty brain of yours!
Even weaker. You're actively making me want you to die even more than I previously did.
>You're actively making me want you to die even more than I previously did.
kek what a weakling you are
>kek what a weakling you are
>still thinks what I'm saying makes me a troony or a troony sympathizer
The fact that you and many others like yourself continue to believe this has always been the saddest thing about this website.
The majority of this website came here for politics and weren't even here when moot ran the show.
I think what you mean is:
>i came here for politics and wasn't even here when moot ran the show
Yeah, that sounds a bit more accurate to me.
Anon if you think that there's some kind of political beliefs you're required to have to be on Ganker then you are the political tourist.
I have absolutely no idea how that statement of yours is in any way relevant to what I wrote. Could this be what the young people refer to as "projection?"
I would fricking love a 30+ Ganker. Even 25+ would be fine. No way to enforce it though.
~85% of the site is over 25. kids bounce off Ganker because this web 1.0 shit isn't what they're interested in
He knows that, he's just trying to gaslight since that's what leftBlack folk do
That sounds like complete horseshit.
Yeah, that's weird. It's almost like the place from where they all funnel in from is for politics.

I can't remember who it was but there was some other tournament video where a guy blows a 15 point lead or something big like that, was rough to watch
God, I want to go back.

Well that's not true, you just have to pay the jannies first.
For what it's worth:
>https://www.reddit.com/r/QuakeChampions/comments/14sznx4/elon_claims_he_was_in_one_of_the_best_quake_teams/
>"EXTREMELY late to the game here. But yes, Elon is 100% correct. We were the team that beat him and Zip2. We were Clan Olympus (dumb name, yes). It was the first tournament held by MPath/Mplayer (that eventually hosted the Red Annihilation single player game that awarded the Ferrari). I remember distinctly going to their webpage after playing against them in the final and seeing their "about" page with their executive profiles. All were unremarkable looking 20-something unkempt nerds, much like we were, and didn't think anything of it until Elon became a billionaire and his ties to his older companies became public knowledge. I remember distinctly playing against a particular Zip2 player in a deathmatch before our scheduled final and how much shade he was throwing at the fact I was on superior bandwidth on the mplayer server that game. "Are you bribing the MAE East admins to sit on their bandwidth?", "You should be handicapped" (I was on UMD's Digex T3 connection back then for the record). It was absolutely Elon, lol."
When did Elon move to the states? He lived in South Africa for a bit right? If he's playing Quake tournaments, he's probably at his late teens back then.
This was apparently when he was doing Zip2, so he would've been in his mid to late 20s I guess. Keep in mind he was born in 1971.
How can one man generate so much seething from losers of both end of the spectrum?
even if that were true, it would be impossible to confirm if he didnt compete. it's somewhat believable because he was an afrikaaner, rich kid who had access to computers before anyone else and was a loafer in college. he could have very well been top 50 in north america at one point. though, unless he provides proof like tourney results or even ingame handle, it's all hearsay.
>compete
read the thread dork
how else would you gauge the "top quake players in the world", you absolute moron?
>All the subhuman leftists/democrats cheering on EU government trying to frick over twitter because of "hate speech"
They really don't want anywhere big/popular that right-wingers can reside without immediately being censored/banned to exist. Being totally genuine here, if you believe/hold any democratic beliefs, or agree with said beliefs, you deserve to be hurt, censored, and more. I'm honestly waiting for the next mass shooting to happen in their shitholes cities at this point. We haven't had any in a long time, which is unfortunate. These "people" need to leave Earth and fast.

You lost knockout.chat troony.
Eleven threads.

Thousands of posts whining.

2 years.
But X is going down guys!
2 more weeks.
Elon won.

Now frick off.
Why do you want me to go to this forum?
You are from there.
knockout.chat lost.
Elon won.
That's why they come here in their trooncords to gaslight and try to get the rules changed constantly. It was part of the reason why /qa/ was deleted since the mods didn't give a frick about their constant whining about /misc/
>We haven't had any in a long time
?
Elon is a pussy and won't even unban Alex Jones. He doesn't actually support free speech even if he's miles better than the old owners.
He does believe in free speech, but he's still scared of going "too" hard against the ~~*advertiser*~~ class that controls the internet
Everyone has at least one pet issue that they go full-moron over. It is unfortunate.
No-one sane actually believes in free speech. You don't gain ANYTHING from the opposition's beliefs being able to be spouted freely, spreading to more people and eventually taking over theirs.
>t. fascist
A just world requires giving morons the ability to spout bad ideas. Such is the rule of honor.
>censorship and bans is fine if it's for my side
Jfc, you Black folk needs to be shot. Even your god Elon disagrees with your dumb ass.
>censorship and bans is fine when it's against mentally-ill shit that makes the world worse
FTFY. Censor leftists/democrat beliefs is objectively good.
Being called mentally-ill doesn't really mean anything coming from you people, honestly.

Bro update your bait, the last prolific mass shootings were revealed to be insane leftoids
yeah thats pretty bad an all but uh....HEY LOOK OVER THERE ITS AN ISRAEL
Ethnostates are cringe I don't care about em
I don't care who the shooters actually were. As long as they resulted in people like leftists being the victims.

This is your average Elon hater btw.
11 threads of posts like this.
Get on.
So wait, Ganker loves Twitter now? What happened to shitting on it on a daily basis?
Why would Ganker hate twitter when every other thread (besides the softcore pornography ones, of course) are just twitter screencaps?
>implying I can't shit on everyone and everything at all times
I shit on u
You just confused your knockout.chat browsing with Ganker browsing.
Ganker has been on a symbiotic relationship with twitter and the rest of the internet for years.
Ganker sends out OC to twitter
twitter sends bait screencap threads back
I love Elon now
Everyone who is mildly competent at a game thinks he was a "top player".
Idk I just want quake live free again, then we can talk
I would decimate anyone here in MvC3
Play a real man's game and try MvC1! Or Real Bout 2.

When did Ganker get so infested with trannies and lefties
Years ago
2016-17 most likely
After neogaf (leftwing political utopia) mass exodus due to the fact the owner was a pedo they migrated to resetera or here.
It was when Discord came into existance. Ganker threads were basically hiveminds before that since everyone was mainly right wing, but now it's trooncord raids 24/7
I'm probably one of the best TF2 players in the world and I will take it to my grave.
I never gave a shit about comp but I played with comp players when I cared, but statics/etc never sat right, I didn't want to have a 2nd job. Same thing with MMOs.
I'll continue to top leaderboards for a few more years, I'm soon to hit my 40s but thank goodness I still have reflexes as sharp as 25 year old me.
I'm 36.
More like Shmelon Crust
IT'S ALL PART OF THE PLAN
probably, but i haven't seriously played since 2018 and din't duel.
one of my pleasures was to melee guys with quad damage.
>money is the ONLY thing that matters! (except when we do it and our game companies go bankrupt!)
He's said multiple times that he didn't buy twitter for the money, he did it because he believed that leftists are a death cult that is destroying Western civilization. Obviously going against that isn't going to be cheap when the advertisers are all israeli and want mass censorship or right wingers, much like you two do
>sucking Elon Musk's dick on Ganker
toppest of all of my keks
Soulless troonypost
LOL
For your sake I hope you're a pretty girl, anon. He isn't likely to want to stick his dick inside of your mouth otherwise.
Musk doesn't even give a shit about 'leftists' outside of Twitter, it's bait for the faceless masses like you to go use his website
You said yourself that he's losing money because of it
In the short term because he's owned the site for like a year. He just cares about money, the internet isn't your battleground, you are not living in a Marvel movie
Anon, this might come as a shock to you but rich people actually do have opinions on things and the way they spend their money is often a reflection of their opinions.
Musk wanted to own the libs and be a massive attentionprostitute, so he bought Twitter for $40 billion (and that was an incredibly wasteful purchase, he's never making that back) to do it.
Now he admits that it was a shitty investment kek what a b***h. If he wanted a right wing echo chamber he should have bought this shithole
>LESOYSOYSOYSOY
Two more weeks, Ivan.
Called it
Lmao bud do you still have your Putin person of the year posters in your room or have you hid those in shame already?
Why don't you move to eastern europe already you little moron
I could believe that he played a lot of Quake back in the day. However, judging by his Elden Ring and Diablo 4 performance he obviously sucks at video games.
he also claims that he's a self-made billionaire, so I'll probably reck him in Quake
PC fats were always weird autists.
Hyperbole but he did play on the same servers as the best players which does put him miles ahead of most players.
How does Elon make people seethe this hard?
Not a lot of people like him and he's on the news all the time for whatever reason, so he's impossible to escape.
Idk lefties used to dick suck him but because he said free speech they don't like him anymore. Also it's bizarre projection when most people aren't actually supporting Elon musk but in the fact that he causes lefties to seethe.
The mere existence of him is their existence. Kind of like how lefties used to deep throat Putin back in 2008 now that he's a loser they try to accuse the other group doing what they used to do.
Unironically people are jelly because he's rich
They don't mind Hassan being rich because their views align with his. Even the hypocrisy of him being a fake communist doesn't matter since their beliefs are all fake anyway
hasan compared to elon is about as rich as I am compared to the average CEO though
he's just better and more successful at everything than them. Including Quake apparently.
holy shit leftards getting massacred in here
>/vpol/ dick riding Elon THIS hard
uh ohhhh melty
such Riveting videogame discussion you all are having here fellas! keep it up!
Elon is smarter than you
Guys, I'm the one of the top Quake players in the world too.
I'm one of the top 50,000 players in the world
would you morons kindly have a nice day over at /misc/, thanks.
Honestly I think anyone who says they could beat someone like Elon in a game of wits let alone one of skill is fricking delusional. It'd be like trying to fight Mike Tyson.
In the context of playing quake yeah I am confident a lot of people could kick his ass. Elon is a skilled business man that does not automatically make him good at games. that's like saying because mike Tyson was nigh unbeatable in boxing he would be just as good in a gun or swordfight.
>he sucks the circumcised wieners of Israel any time he can

???????
/misc/ secretly yearns to be slaves underneath the boots of israelites that's why billionaire worship is so prevalent among them
Nothing makes a lefty worship a billionaire quicker than when someone says
>Go woke go broke

>he holds the same belief system as a disney exec
Projection is all you can do now, very funny if it weren't so sad
I'm not a subhuman, pathetic jealous b***h so I don't care about anyone being a millionaire or a billionaire. I only care if they're a millionaire or billionaire and have shit, terrible beliefs, since then they have the means and potential power to spread said beliefs.
Why hasn't he told Rogan this? He's been in his pod twice. I bet Rogan would challenge his ass, since he said he was good, and they both haven't played in ages.
I don't know man, but anyone who manages to make trannies seethe 24/7 for YEARS straight must be doing something right.
This. Notch, Stonetoss, Trump, and Elon are the undisputed greats of making trannies mad
when someone says they are good at games, ask for a small sample of frags. if they can't even produce 3 good clips, they are complete posers.
I like elon musk. he's just a right wing goofball much like myself, only I can't afford to shut down dissenters like he can.
he's pretty based, you pooskins can seethe all you want.
>he's just a right wing goofball
he's a classic liberal like Donald Trump
Hitler was technically a leftist too, but we're talking modern definitions, not shit from 30+ years ago.
You're as moronic as your average leftist.
Actual right-wingers aren't even allowed to exist in the mass public consciousness. Stop using moronic MSM inaccuracies, they use this shit to obfuscate what's actually going on.
Actual right wingers by your definition hardly exist unless you're part of the fricking OTG harold covington shit. stop LARPing, get a life. no, you're not a fascist you doritos eating homosexual on Ganker.
You sound like a israeli transexul, but I like that webm
of course the LARPing homosexual also has yellow fever. have a nice day, moron. I promise the white race will be better without you.
Thanks for confirming it
Confirming what? I'm hungarian-russian-scottish mixed euro meat born and bred in AusGODlia. I fly the arrow cross flag from my balcony.
you're just a Black person, and I'm gonna post cats every time you reply
AusSHITlia
AusGODlia, high economy, tops the list on human development index, highest income per capita, beautiful beaches and forests, both tropical and pine. 90% ethnically European. the best special forces in the world.
This is truly God's country.settle down, maggots.
>afford to shut down dissenters like he can.
Isn't that what you homosexuals are accusing others trying to do that to Elon?
No? I've never said anything about Elon before the post you quoted. I don't talk about this shit openly. Any other words you wanna put in my mouth?
all political parties are guilty of misinforming the public and lying about eachother, everyone in parliament should be lynched infront of the public. simple fricking as.
It's our job to keep people in check, straying from the one and honest path is how one enters the Devil's flock. People like Elon do God's work by ensuring that the Left are stifled as much as possible, their methods and language cannot exist in a true free society because they only seek to disrupt and destroy what good the Right has created. If you weren't here to argue in bad faith, probably as a paid actor or fed, you would know this to be true.
Do you even hear yourself?
Fricking cringe
probably least schizo election tourist
Leftists/Democrats shouldn't be censoring anyone since they're brainfricked subhumans who should be the ones censored. Stop trying to pretend everything is the same and every action exists in a vacuum.
>dude this billionaire is just like me!
cattle moment
Why does he have a israelite face?
Also he's an absolute butthole for pushing for electric vehicles and not trains or biofuel
if that's true then i already killed him at least once in a videogame
So why do incels jerk off musk so much?
Messed with Twitter tards which is always funny.
Given his inability to take jokes and criticism at his expense I am going to call bullshit I doubt he played for very long given all the trash talking he would have received back then. Of course if he played today he would make sure its with a group of sycophant's that would never dare insult him.
this guy fricking sucks, biggest snivelling loser ever.
Uh oh troony having a melty because people don't hate le evil nazi man.
I mostly only hear anything about him because trannies and other moron npc tweeterbrains seeth so much over everything he does. Hard to not like the guy
He's indisputably successful though. Also, I hope I can have such a youthful attitude and energy when I'm 50. Are you just mad he ruined your twitter?
https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/gaming-news/elon-musk-an-og-quake-player-according-to-one-of-the-games-top-competitors-3547554
OP BTFO. your response? Maybe he wasn't the best but he's recognised as an OG, was probably playing Quake and UT when you were shitting diapers.
Newsflash, no one gives a shit if he was or wasn't, he's a 50 year old manchild either way
And you, the Ganker poster, is far superior, right? kek
I'm like less than half his age so yeah I think it's still rather pathetic for a 50 year old man with hair plugs to still be bragging about being good at boomer shooters lol
>Noo a 50 years old cant be proud of video game shit!!
>Youre only allowed to be proud if youre a wagecuck!
You could have just said you're a kv neet we would have believed it, because it was apparent
Calm down, troony.
any fappable moments in the love witch? i might consider watching it.
Not really, it's a good movie though. if you're a fan of 60's style ''horror'' it's a must watch.
>Maybe he wasn't the best but he's recognised as an OG, was probably playing Quake and UT when you were shitting diapers.
Here in is the issue with Musk, "one of the top Quake players in the world" is an extreme claim and largely a lie.
"I used to play with some of the top Quake players in the world, including [Quake tournament winning guy]" is a defensible and reasonable claim (and the truth).
>Man who said he could fight Zuck and had the fight cancelled by his fricking mom is a grandiose liar
Who would have thought???
>Who would have thought???
I wouldn't have thought it possible, to the extent that surely this homosexual has an entire team of people that manages his entire public persona the way all richgays do?
It boggles the mind; like everything you say as a richgay celebrity high profile moron is going to be scrutinized and any deviation from the absolute truth is going to cost you credibility.
Even if it's something stupid and trivial like this, it's going to make your brand less desirable, it's going to make people feel that much less inclined to take a chance on your business venture or whatever for fear of being stained by your brand's diminished value.
Like, even if he himself has no concept of any of this (which wouldn't make sense), he's got to have tard wranglers that make this type of shit their life's work, surely?
I mean, he kinda was a top tier player if he was hanging in servers with god players. He could probably beat 99.9% of Ganker
>I mean, he kinda was a top tier player if he was hanging in servers with god players. He could probably beat 99.9% of Ganker
In the article posted by this anon,
, he wasn't very good.
He wasn't hanging with them in the sense of doing well, he was just a guy that hung out with them in their server and played. A groupie basically.
We can't know who's exaggerating here, except to say that zip2 isn't a name anyone knows in the list of successful Quake players.
Look at what happened when Ganker tried to raid Darksydephil, they all got fricking destroyed on stream and multip[le tripgays stopped using the trip out of shame.
You've overestimating Ganker, and underestimating a guy that's playted this shit since the 90s
I don't have a horse in this race, my broader point is that Musk did a classic richgay moron thing and bragged.
He exaggerated the truth, made a crazy claim that he thought no one would verify, in order to impress someone he was talking to.
Normal people can get away with that (at the risk of being labeled "that guy that exaggerates shit"), but not someone with the celebrity of Elon Musk.
I mean, "classic" doesn't really apply the normal way the way it does to Musk. He's kinda a dick about this shit. He reminds me of that south park ep with Bono where Bono had to be #1 at everything.
When he's challenged he starts flipping out and accusing people of being pedophiles and shit, so.
He calls people pedophiles because he is one and he 1000% fricked kids on Epstein island
weird how no one mentions trump took his 11 year old son on one of epsteins flights.
They do when they're talking about trump and pedos.
But we're talking about musk and pedos.
You can just say trump and musk the second part can be inferred
Well, we're on a site where someone comes to a thread about musk and wonders why noone's talking about trump.
Sometimes you gotta spell it out for the feebs.
>DJWheat then asked whether Musk was any good at Quake, to which Fong nervously laughed and replied “he wasn’t very good, but he’s still an OG, he’s legit when he says he’s a gamer.”
I mean, if being the best means you were capable of getting the DOS net client working to play it fine online on a regular basis, then yeah, I was one of the fricking best too.
I even got the mlook bind looking before mouselook was standard. How many people could've done that back then? A few dozen thousand?
Id nailgun his dick to the wall hahaaa
iunno, i only played quake 64
Dont look at me like that
elon cucks on suicide watch
he probably just beat his friends
back in the 90s before online gaming went mainstream every halfway decent gamer thought they were a god because the only competition was your neighborhood friends (as it should be)
Nah he played online a bunch, see
and
. Top player is an exaggeration obviously, but he was really into the game.
