They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you endgame characters in Diablo IV, Path of Exile 2, and other games. It’s known as account boosting and is technically considered cheating in most games, and it’s something Elon Musk has finally admitted to after being called out by various YouTubers , including Zach “Asmongold” Hoyt.

That revelation came in DMs he seemingly exchanged with YouTuber NikoWrex and which were subsequently shared in a video published on January 18 titled “Addressing All the Elon Musk Drama in PoE2 with Elon Musk! ” (via Forbes ). In it, NikoWrex shared screenshots of DMs exchanged with Musk which the tech billionaire apparently said were okay to publish. During the conversation, the Tesla CEO admitted to using account boosting to compete in Path of Exile 2 and Diablo IV’s end game, but said there was nothing to apologize for because everyone is doing it.

“Have you level boosted (had someone else play your accounts) and/or purchased gear/resources for PoE2 and Diablo 4?” asked NikoWrex. Musk responded with a “100 percent” emoji before adding that “It’s impossible to beat the players in Asia if you dont, as they do!” The richest man in the world noted that he’s appeared on multiple streams where it’s really him playing the games, but defended using account sharing to boost his characters despite never being transparent with people that this is what he was doing.
