    Wasn’t he playing a pc based game recently? When he got outed for cheating? He still played it on stream, so his claims are demonstrably false and may be perjurous.

      Rich people with good lawyers don’t have to care about such pesky things as the truth.

        Humans can compute things too…. I agree that a phone is a computer but i am not sure the definition is as easy as that :D

    Musk also says he created Tesla, so I’d take it with a grain of salt.

        The article points out he has played video games on laptops to show starlink worked on a flight, and he posted a picture on X pertaining to “his laptop” being 3 years old and having a sticker he didn’t want to get rid of…

    As Wired reports, Musk’s attorneys made the claim as part of a 2025 lawsuit against OpenAI, which Musk co-founded in 2015 but left three years later after a failed takeover attempt.

    Because of course that’s what he tried to fucking do.

      I mean, yes, but a Mac is also a personal computer (PC), despite the fact that “PC” has also been used to distinguish a Windows machine from a Mac machine for a long time. Terms can have multiple meanings.

        Right but for all relevant reasons, the lawyer is talking out of his ass. Just because he isn’t using a PC does not change anything. But even so last i checked, path of exile 2 is only on the pc.
