I've seen some posts (not on hexbear) claiming that Elon was just playing poorly because he was distracted or playing on a laptop. Elon streamed his boosted Hardcore character on January 7. However, I first learned that Elon was paying someone to play for him on December 21.
On December 21, a user on the Path of Exile Reddit posted the following screenshots.

Screenshot 1 shows a trade message sent to Elon's character at the time. This is an automated message generated by the Path of Exile website when you click the send message to player button, indicating that Elon's account language is set to Chinese. Also the screenshot tells us that his stash tab was named to "Sell出售".
Screenshot 2 shows the player in the hideout of Elon's character at the time, while also in the same party. In the top right corner of the screenshot, you can see the hideout is hosted on the Hong Kong realm.
I can confirm that this information is true. After I saw the reddit post, I decided to also trade the account. I saw a trade message that was also in Chinese and when I visited their hideout, it was also on the Hong Kong realm. Unfortunately I didn't save a screenshot of my trade because I had figured that the reddit post was sufficient evidence at the time. Then I made a hexbear post about it on December 22.
