Elon Musk might rule Twitter and shoot rockets into space, but his Overwatch skills apparently leave much to be desired. During a recent appearance on Hasan Piker’s stream, Vivian Musk threw her billionaire father under the bus by revealing he’s a “Bronze Torbjorn main” in Blizzard’s team-based shooter.
The revelation caused immediate uproar and validation in the gaming community. For those unfamiliar, Bronze represents the lowest competitive rank in Overwatch. Torbjorn, meanwhile, is a character notorious for his auto-aiming turret that essentially plays the game for you.
“How are you in bronze on Torbjorn? The turret aims for you,” one viewer commented, highlighting why this combination makes the burn so effective.
It’s essentially the Overwatch equivalent of using training wheels and still falling off your bike. This public roasting comes after years of Elon portraying himself as a gaming enthusiast.
The Tesla CEO has previously boasted about his skills in Quake, Diablo IV, and Path of Exile—claims that have always been met with healthy skepticism from actual gamers.
Vivian’s appearance on Hasan’s show featured a range of topics beyond her father’s gaming failures. The two have had a publicly strained relationship, with Vivian openly disagreeing with many of her father’s political and social stances in recent years.
The stream quickly went viral, with one viewer predicting, “Elon’s never going to live this down.” Another accurately summarized the billionaire’s gaming persona with a meme suggesting he thinks he’s an elite gamer while struggling with basic gameplay.
