Yep, it’s Musk again. And yes, it involves video games...
Yesterday, HasanAbi uploaded an interview with Elon Musk's estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, and this definitely falls under the category of "we should all know less about each other."
In addition to revelations about him yelling at his staff and the not-so-realistic plans to colonize Mars, we also got some insights into his controversial gaming habits.
Here's everything you need to know about the latest Elon Musk news.
Musk’s daughter Breaks Silence
Vivian Jenna Wilson, who legally changed her name in June 2022, spoke about her biological father — whom she wishes to have no relation with — in a recently published interview by YouTuber HasanAbi.
By the way, changing your name if you were named by Elon Musk makes a lot of sense — considering his other kids are called X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and Techno Mechanicus.
She is one of Elon Musk’s estimated 14 children (yes, you read that right — even she doesn’t know the exact number) by four different women.
At one point, she even found out about a half-sibling through a post on a RuPaul’s Drag Race subreddit. Musk, who often warns of population collapse due to declining birth rates, apparently said, Fine, I’ll do it myself.
Wilson suspects that, back in the day, Musk made her and her 12-year-old twin queue up for ranked Overwatch matches just so they could boost him.
She recalls being a Silver/Bronze console main, while he was stuck in Bronze. She describes him as being absolutely dogsh*t at Overwatch, driven by sheer desperation and an obsession with being perceived as a real-life James Halliday.
Addle-Brained And Proud?
James Halliday is the creator and lead developer of the OASIS, a massive virtual reality universe, in the sci-fi novel Ready Player One.
In the book, he's portrayed as a highly intelligent, video game-loving, eccentric loner — with the key difference being that he actually built the OASIS himself, rather than buying his way into it (cough PayPal, Tesla, X).
It went so far that Musk would force his kids to read Ready Player One whenever they got into trouble.
If you’re still here and haven’t noped out from the cringe yet — here’s the rest: after being dissed by Indivisible Guide as an “addle-brained billionaire who cheats at video games,” the 53-year-old responded with, “I’m world #3 in PoE2 Hardcore. Suc* my 🍆 🤣”.
Still not convinced? Then watch this footage of Musk playing Diablo, looking like a cat chasing a laser pointer — or, as adults might say, like a ketamine junkie glued to a screen.
And if you’re still a Musk fan at this point, I strongly recommend getting off this website.
What’s your take on Vivian’s story? Do you think Musk really sees himself as James Halliday?
