This dude is CEO of multiple companies, has like 87 kids, high level position in the government and still takes the time to get ratioed on his own platform.

You'd think he's a communist with how often he gets publicly owned.

Hey wait Ubisoft you’re not allowed to be this cool.

Imagine being dunked and ratio'd by fucking Ubisoft. Even a billionaire should have enough shame to kill themselves.

I had no idea who the second guy was. He's a racist/sexist ex-Blizzard employee.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Kern

Kern has become an outspoken critic of the company and criticized such environmental, social, and governance standards and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives effects on video game developers. In March 2024, he railed against wokeness, telling Fox News that there is a "coordinated effort to insert diversity politics into games".

In 2016, Kern began seeking crowdfunding for Em-8er, a "spiritual successor" to Firefall. Kern did an interview with YouTuber Upper Echelon in Sept 2024, claiming that about 600K has been raised so far for Em-8er.

This is specifically the part that they are getting his ass on.

They're absolutely getting fired, but that is one hell of a blaze of glory to go out in. The angry look on Egotistic Elon's face is probably priceless, with that response getting nearly 10x as many likes as both his political shitposts combined.

Agreed, but Ubisoft will be foolish for firing them, this is the best PR Ubisoft has had in maybe a decade.

Ubisoft marketing account with the concealed blade

The real assassin is in the Ubisoft PR department all along

How this guy still has time for games and twitter is beyond me, considering he has like 800 children, 50 companies, and now is way deep up Trump's rectum with his meme Doge department "saving Americans money".

Also, Ubisoft being based. What a world.

How this guy still has time for games and twitter is beyond me,

I have an easy, simple answer.

He doesn't actually work or play games. He spends all his time scrolling and tweeting from his many, many accounts, has people playing games for him.

Oh my god, a streamer shouldn't advertise a mediocre game to get compensation for their work? Has anyone told the Raid Shadow Legends steamers?

In comparison to Musk. It tells you more about Musk than Ubi.

Is Elon still trying to prove he can fit in with the gamer crowd? It looks so sad, like Zucky learning martial arts to prove everyone how tough he is. Guys you don't need to fuck the planet over your teenagehood traumas, just deal with them like any other reasonable person.

Who? That guy that badgered a judge until he changed his decision for a piece of plastic?
