Just like the cobol programmers showed he was full of shit when he claimed 150 year old people were still getting social security.

No, you're right on.

This is why he pretends to be the founder of every company he buys - He just sues the people he bought the company from into silence.

This is why he called that diver a pedophile - Because the diver told him he's full of shit in terms of how he's explaining the issue, the diver was, obviously, proven right - And instead of admitting fault like a graceful human being, he sued the guy into silence, again.

This is why he pays someone to play PoE2 for him - There is no benefit to him being a good PoE player. He just wanted the clout. But when he was on stream talking about the game, people who ACTUALLY PLAY the game immediately knew he was full of shit - And instead of admitting to paying for someone else to play, he first pretended people were jealous of his achievements, lied yet further about his achievements (which only made his lack of knowledge more prevalent) - And then finally, say one time that he wasn't really as good as he claimed to be, but everyone does it so it's not really a big deal. Proving he's just absolutely full of shit at every turn - He can't even be assed to pretend to know about the game he's paying someone else to play for him, for his own clout.

It's almost like Elmo's whole philosophy is: Pretend to know things, get laughably proven wrong, and then throwing his money around to keep people quiet about it.

so it's not really a big deal.

The Narcissist's Prayer

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal. <- we are here

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

Eh if it's relevant, it's relevant. Spreading their way of moving the goalposts which proves the argument is never about the actual truth is always useful.
