Elon Musk enters a losing battle versus Assassin’s Creed

In the ongoing news cycle, Assassin’s Creed Shadows remains a buzzing topic, causing yet another stir on social media when its account sparked a response from Elon Musk.

Is there anything more effective than a smoothly managed social media platform? Not really, and this point has been consistently demonstrated. This week, it was the Assassin’s Creed (AC) X account that showcased this, stirring up discussions in the gaming world. Assassin’s Creed: Shadow is currently causing quite a stir among gamers. While one group vehemently dislikes the game, another can’t seem to get enough of it.

Indeed, Elon Musk couldn’t resist sharing his thoughts, a characteristic trait of his. However, following the controversy surrounding Path of Exile 2 (PoE2), another incident has arisen for him. This time, it seems to have been orchestrated by the AC X account.

Elon Musk versus Path of Exile 2

In January 2025, a lively discussion emerged online, focusing on Elon Musk and his high-level character in PoE2 (Path of Exile 2). Many participants argued that he wasn’t actually playing the character, similar to the speculation about his Diablo IV character. Noted streamer Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt joined the skeptics, questioning Musk on the matter, which in turn sparked some annoyance from the billionaire.

Following a series of exchanges, Elon Musk ultimately decided to revoke Asmongold’s verification badge on X. Despite being reinstated at a later time, Musk’s seemingly unnecessarily small-minded actions were immediately brought into the spotlight.

Assassin’s Creed sends Elon Musk to the shadow realm

As a passionate admirer, I must say that while Elon Musk has been relatively low-key in the gaming world, he’s recently found himself embroiled in another squabble, this time with a popular streamer. Interestingly enough, it’s Ubisoft’s latest installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, that has caught his attention and sparked a lively conversation.

In this interaction, Elon Musk accuses Hasan Piker, more commonly known as Hasan or Hasanabi, of being dishonest and selling out. This is after Hasan endorsed a new game, which apparently displeased Musk. However, the AC X account stepped in to defend Musk and potentially challenge him again.

The post under discussion garnered massive interest, racking up more than 35 million views within a single day. Additionally, it gathered over half a million ‘likes’, as numerous individuals showed appreciation towards the individual managing the social media account.

Some reactions have been fantastic, as individuals have been inquiring Grok, the AI, regarding the remark.

In response, many people have contributed countless gifs – some laughing, others expressing respect towards the post. Everyone is curious to see if Musk will respond with similar petty actions as before or if he’ll concede his loss. Regardless, his comment and subsequent interaction have certainly increased the game’s popularity even more.

It seems highly unlikely that the story of AC Shadows will conclude here, as the game is still performing reasonably well and figures like Musk are keen on criticizing it and influencers who share their thoughts on it. Many are speculating about which game Musk might focus on next and pretend to make progress in, but for now, all eyes appear to be on Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
