He's emotionally stunted and unable to validate himself, leading him to seek external validation at every turn. Sometimes that's being the World's Most Divorced Dad on Twitter sharing stale memes. Sometimes it's trying to brag about being the Best Gamer, no matter what that looks like, be it ranking in Overwatch or paying someone to lead in Path of Exile for him. Ironically he has been completely poisoned by and subsumed into the cultures of nonstop competition for meaningless points that gaming corporations create and maintain to keep players playing. When he gets exposed it just makes him look like an even bigger loser, like his holistically awful Elden Ring build. If a normal person shared their terrible ER build they'd get pointers on how to improve it, but the Technoking of SpaceX is such an egotist that it just adds fuel to the fire.
