Seconded, I hate Musk but I also hate clickbait. Worth noting though, he seems to have been connected via Starlink so that's funny.

But Musk owns the ISP he was using.

Still a skill issue no matter how you look at it.

Not only was he "using" starlink, he was specifically doing it as a promotion to show that it is good for gaming. And even with that being the whole premise, it was still his kneejerk reaction to blame the connection, even though everyone watching knows that can't be what happened. His ego couldn't let him blame himself instead of the service he was purposefully trying to promote.
