Recently the highly anticipated dark fantasy action RPG, Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) has entered its early access, quickly becoming the talk of the gaming community. Players across the world are diving in to explore its new features, complex skill trees, and engaging combat mechanics. Among these players is none other than the tech mogul, Elon Musk.
Aside from launching rockets into space and revolutionizing electric cars, he is an avid gamer who has proven his skills in various games. However, it looks like Musk’s quick fingers have raised some red flags, with the game’s anti-cheat system accusing him of using macros. Talk about a tech billionaire facing an epic battle, not in space, but in the world of Wraeclast.
While Elon Musk is known for his groundbreaking work with Tesla and SpaceX, he has also long been a part of the gaming world. He has shown his passion for a variety of video games (Overwatch, Diablo 4, etc) and even shared his gaming accomplishments and moments on social media.
In Diablo 4, Musk even reached the top ranks of global players, demonstrating not only his skills but also his dedication to mastering the game at a high level. However, it seems Musk’s path to the PoE 2 leaderboards isn’t going to be as smooth and straightforward as his previous gaming triumphs.

In a surprising tweet, Musk shared an image showcasing that he had been kicked from PoE 2 for performing “too many actions too fast.” This typically means a player is flagged by the game’s anti-cheat system for using macros, tools that automate gameplay and are considered cheating.
This sparked heated debate in the gaming community. Some fans believe Musk’s rapid in-game actions were simply a result of his natural skill and lightning-fast reflexes, not the use of third-party tools.
For Musk, the whole situation has been filled with confusion and disbelief, especially since he denies using any macros and laughed that the anti-cheat thought he was using one.
Despite the temporary kick from the server, it looks like Elon Musk’s love for Path of Exile 2 holds strong. After clearing up the confusion surrounding the anti-cheat incident, Musk is back in Wraeclast, passionate to continue exploring the game’s deep mechanics and engaging world.
The ban was just a small hurdle in his experience, which he easily cleared. Whether trying to prove he is one of the best or simply enjoying the grind, Musk is still fully immersed in the PoE 2 experience, proving that even tech moguls know how to appreciate a well-designed action RPG.
As Musk continues to explore the game’s deep mechanics, it’s clear that, whether it’s designing electric cars or conquering dark fantasy worlds, for him, everything is just another frontier to conquer, one click at a time.
In the end, even though his journey in Path of Exile 2 started with a few bumps it is not enough to sway him away from the experience. As always players can continue to enjoy the game’s epic journey with him.
