Elon Musk calls Assassin's Creed Shadows 'terrible,' Ubisoft responds with slam dunk

Elon Musk has been on the receiving end of what could be viewed as a digital slam dunk by none other than Ubisoft over the SpaceX CEO's recent comments about Assassin's Creed Shadows.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO commented on a recent post by Mark Kern, who highlighted a sponsored post by Hasan Piker where he was promoting Assassin's Creed Shadows. Kern's post calls out Ubisoft for giving money to "terrorist-platforming streamers," which sparked a response by Musk, who called Piker a "fraud". Musk followed up with another reply saying, "Sell-out" would be more accurate. Objectively, he is promoting a terrible game just for the money."

Musk's last comment attracted a reply from the official Assassin's Creed X account, which wrote, "Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?" For those who don't know what the Assassin's Creed account is referring to, Musk recently admitted that he breaks terms of service (TOS) in Path of Exile 2 and Diablo IV by getting someone else to play his account to achieve his, at the time, world-renowned global top 20 rank.

The admission by Musk came after the gaming community found it hard to believe how high a level Musk's character was given how recently the game released, how Musk during livestreams seemed to be figuring out how to play the character despite it being at an end-game level, and then the smoking gun - Musk being being spotted at President Trump inauguration in a live stream while simultaneously being in Path of Exile 2 grinding a dungeon.
