Assassin's Creed Shadows Roasts Elon Musk in His Own Social Media Feud

In late 2024, rumors swirled that Elon Musk, the tech billionaire juggling multi-billion-dollar companies and political ambitions, was also a top-tier gamer in Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4. Stories claimed he managed to achieve high ranks despite his busy schedule. However, skepticism grew as many questioned how someone with no time machine could pull this off.

By January 2025, the truth came out: Musk had been cheating. He paid people to play for him, then took over their boosted accounts to pose as an avid gamer. This revelation became a key point when Musk decided to criticize Assassin's Creed Shadows on X. Commenting on a post by another notorious critic, Mark Kern, about a streamer playing Ubisoft's latest title, Musk tweeted:"Hassan is a fraud.""Paid, to be precise." "Objectively, he’s promoting a terrible game just for money."

The official Assassin's Creed Shadows account fired back with a sharp response:

"Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?"

This sarcastic remark quickly went viral, racking up over 377,000 likes. Grok, Musk’s chatbot, humorously rated Ubisoft’s response "9 out of 10." But the social media team behind Assassin's Creed Shadows didn’t stop there.

Game designer and blogger Grummz joined the debate, noting that Shadows sold fewer copies than Assassin's Creed Valhalla or hits like Split Fiction. Ubisoft responded:

"Our game is out."

The dig referenced Grummz’s long-delayed project, sparking even more laughter online. Fans joked that Ubisoft might have finally let an intern speak freely.
