He ran out of the arena, and very poorly kitted the thing around for no apparent reason... He died because of a bad connection, but the fight was still going because he's bad.

He just claimed it was a bad connection. It definitely wasn't if you watched the stream. What makes this even funnier is that it was supposed to be a demonstration for Starlink and he ended up shitting on it because he couldn't handle the defeat.

Seconded, I hate Musk but I also hate clickbait. Worth noting though, he seems to have been connected via Starlink so that's funny.

He went on podcasts bragging about how he’s the best player in the world.

I assume "tutorial boss" is the one you're required to kill on any new character, before you can access the first city, the one that any first time player might have trouble with, but once you've done it once it's never going to take you down again.

Edit,

The death in the video they posted was the first "boss" after the first city, also pretty pathetic to lose to, but not a required (tutorial) fight. Seeing his mechanics there it wouldn't surprise me if the hillock (or whatever his poe2 counterpart is called) killed him.

Second edit

Musk died to one of the game’s tutorial bosses due to a bad connection, which subsequently concluded the stream, ending another sad, weird data point in the Elon Musk fake gamer saga.

The entire thing was a publicity stream for how reliable star link was, seems like if he's dieing to early game bosses because of connection issues star link might not be suitable for gaming on...

Last edit, he died 3 times to the tutorial boss, at that point it's connection issues and lack of skill.

He secretly paid people to grind his POE2 character to become a top-leveled character and then claimed credit for it. Yes, he is pretending to know what he's doing.

He was pretending to know what he's doing a few months back.
