Elon Musk has recently ventured into the world of gaming with the early access release of Path of Exile 2, a title that shares similarities with the Diablo franchise. However, his experience in the game has taken an unexpected turn. Reports indicate that Musk was excluded from participating due to his remarkably high actions per minute (APM), a metric often used to measure a player's efficiency and speed in executing commands.

Musk, who has a reputation for his competitive nature and high engagement in various activities, expressed his surprise at being removed from the game. He referred to the situation as a “Hall-Of-Famer” moment, highlighting the absurdity of his exclusion based on his gaming prowess. The incident has sparked discussions in the gaming community about the balance between competitive play and accessibility, especially in a title that aims to cater to a wide range of players.

As Path of Exile 2 continues to grow in popularity, it remains to be seen how the developers will address high-performance players like Musk in the future.
