Elon Musk's alleged cheating in Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 has sparked controversy, with fans questioning the integrity of the games and the developers' response. Screenshots of a private conversation reveal Musk admitted to paying for account boosting, a violation of both games' terms of service.

Account boosting, where a player pays another to level up their account, is a form of cheating widely prohibited in online games. Blizzard's EULA explicitly forbids this practice. Following Musk's admission, both Blizzard and Grinding Gear Games (developers of Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 respectively) have refused to comment on whether they will ban Musk's accounts.

This silence has fueled outrage among players. Forum posts express disappointment at the lack of action, arguing that allowing a billionaire to circumvent the rules undermines fair play and the integrity of the games' competitive scenes. Questions regarding the enforcement of real money trading (RMT) policies are also being raised.

Musk, known for boasting about his gaming skills, previously claimed to be among the top Diablo 4 players globally. However, his gameplay has been scrutinized, with some questioning his ability to achieve such high levels given his demanding schedule. A recent livestream further fueled suspicions, showcasing a lack of understanding of game mechanics.

A video released by YouTuber NikoWrex shows a direct message exchange where Musk confesses to account boosting, citing the difficulty of competing with Asian players. He clarified that while his streamed gameplay is genuine, his high-level character achievements were facilitated by others. Musk's former partner, Grimes, offered a defense, claiming to have witnessed his gaming prowess firsthand.

Further allegations emerged when Musk's Path of Exile 2 character appeared online while he was attending an event in Washington D.C., raising further questions about his gaming activity and the veracity of his claims. The lack of response from the game developers leaves the situation unresolved and continues to generate significant debate within the gaming community.
