    It’s the Hardcore leaderboard. In the the Hardcore mode of the game, if you die then your character is permanently dead. His account has had 2 characters die within top 100. His current character was created on January 18, so it took around 11 days of playing 24/7 to reach rank #3. Position #1 and #2 are probably characters older than 11 days. Position #1 and #2 also reached the experience cap this week, so it’s not possible for Elon’s boosted character to go higher than rank #3 now.

        Those characters can retire for now, but even if they die they retain that position on the ladder because they reached the cap.

        Path of Exile 2 will follow a ladder reset design similar to Path of Exile or Diablo 2 or other ARPGs. When a new major patch comes out, there is a game reset, all characters and items are moved to “standard league”. Standard league is a snapshotted version of the game where you don’t have access to the new content. To play the new content, you have to make a new character and start from scratch. Characters on the new league are unable to interact with characters from standard league. This should happen every 3 months.

        When Path of Exile 2 patch 0.2 comes out in hopefully February, the leaderboard will reset and people will have to make a new character to compete on the leaderboard.
