After the PoE 2 Musk drama, people once again criticised Elon Musk as his Overwatch account was boosted by his children. Vivian Wilson disclosed how her father, Elon Musk, let her and her twin brothers play on his hard stuck Bronze account, and this is not the first time Musk has pulled something that is embarrassing, to say the least.

Through interviews, he confirmed that he was boosting his accounts in Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4 to match Asian players since he struggled to compete against them on his own. After this interview, the gaming community showed no mercy toward him. The way Musk casually cheats in games draws criticism from the community as he openly boasts about his in-game achievements, which weakens the competitive spirit of gaming.

The Overwatch developers got criticism for buffing Torbjörn after Musk praised him publicly, which raised questions about developer influence through endorsements. Musk appreciates Overwatch as "amazing", yet having his kids climb him out of the lowest rank in Overwatch shows a different perspective on his admiration. However, several people challenged his statement that he never boosted his account despite his questionable actions. In a competitive scene where players grind for every win, Musk skipping the line leaves a bad taste. For a guy who builds rockets, his gameplay seems suspiciously grounded.
