musk is enough of a nerd to know that there are other status hierarchies outside of money and power. for example, in gaymer communities what matters is gaming skills. tech nerds respect various computer accomplishments, etc. athletics has its performance tiers, etc. money and power can't necessarily put you on top in these skill rankings. for whatever reason musk wants "gamer cred" because he wants to be king of the nerds. he's not a genius programmer or anything like that, and it's hard to fake that. but he can try to fake being a leet gaymer
