Assassin’s Creed Twitter account lives up to its name, assassinates Elon Musk online

The billionaire got handed a massive ratio by the official Ubisoft account on his own social media platform

Elon Musk crying

Elon Musk has learned the hard way not to mess with an Assassin. The billionaire edgelord found himself the subject of mockery yet again after he got severely dunked on by the official Assassin’s Creed X (Twitter) account.

It all started when infamous game-developer-turned-grifter Mark “Grummz” Kern, best known for spreading misinformation and harassing women and people of colour in juvenile “anti-woke” crusades, took yet another shot at the recently released Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Grummz, like others who have to make everything about the “culture war,” has been repeatedly attacking the Ubisoft Quebec game under the guise of “historical accuracy” (read: racism).

This time, Grummz shared an image of popular streamer Hasanabi doing a paid partnership for Shadows and criticized Ubisoft for partnering with “terrorist-platforming streamers.” (Of course, Grummz doesn’t elaborate on this serious claim of accusing someone of “terrorist-platforming.”)

In response to Grummz, Musk said, “Hasan is a fraud” in one post before following up with, “‘Sell-out’ would be more accurate. Objectively, he is promoting a terrible game just for the money.” (Like Grummz, Musk has come after Shadows entirely for political reasons, so far failing to provide any legitimate criticism of the game.)

In response to Musk’s “terrible game” comment, the official Assassin’s Creed account replied, “Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?” They’re referring to people catching Musk claiming to be one of the world’s best Path of Exile players, only for people to quickly discover he was letting others access his account to boost its standings. (Truly, one of the most pathetic and pointless things a 53-year-old man could do.) Musk has also previously been roasted for boasting about objectively bad Elden Ring builds.

At the time of writing, the Assassin’s Creed account’s reply to Musk had over 530,000 likes compared to the 28,000 likes on Musk’s “terrible game” post. As the kids Musk so desperately tries to appear cool to would say, he got heavily “ratio’d” — on his own social media platform, no less. Ouch.

If that weren’t enough, the Assassin’s Creed account also eviscerated Grummz. When the grifter shared an image of an article citing an analyst who said Shadows “isn’t the hit Ubisoft desperately needs,” the Assassin’s Creed handle simply said “our game is out.” This was referring to the fact that Grummz was fired from Red 5 Studios in 2013 and founded his own studio a year later, only to have never released a game since. But hey, why make a game when you can go after other games instead?

And finally, Hasanabi got in his own good jab at Musk after blocking him by noting that the billionaire has now ducked out of bouts with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart and him.
