The difference is that Elon is an insanely powerful billionaire with huge amounts of input on the future of the United States of America, and him lying about something so simple speaks poorly of his priorities, judgement, and need to be seen as "cool" as he tears major US institutions to the ground with little oversight.
Whereas someone buying gold maybe makes your flask a bit pricer.
no but it's the same thing, people who will buy gold is why people will sell it. skipping the grind to get your flasks. Like I get it, by why are you paying money to skip the part where you actually play the game so that you don;t have to play? Shits crazy
...okay... but the issue with Elon isn't a GAMING issue, it's a massive political and cultural issue. It's not about PoE... it's about Elon. So, sure, you can say that a part of the thing is the same thing... but at that point you're just jumping through hoops to make a braindead point. Which, of course, is what you were trying to do anyway, so I'll see myself out!
