Summary
- Asmongold challenged Elon Musk to prove his Path of Exile 2 level 97 achievement, offering a year of Twitter streaming in exchange for verifiable proof.
- Musk's recent ban from Path of Exile 2 for excessively rapid actions fueled speculation about the legitimacy of his gaming prowess.
- Musk has yet to respond to Asmongold's challenge.
Popular Twitch streamer Asmongold publicly questioned Elon Musk's claim of reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2, an accomplishment generally requiring significant skill and playtime. This skepticism stems from Musk's recent expulsion from the game due to an unusually high action-per-second rate, leading to accusations of macro or bot usage.
Musk, a self-proclaimed video game enthusiast, frequently shares his gaming experiences with his followers. However, his ban from Path of Exile 2, attributed by Musk to the game's anti-cheat system misinterpreting his skillful gameplay, has cast doubt on his reported achievements.
Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, directly challenged Musk, wagering a year of simultaneous streaming on both Twitch and Twitter if Musk could provide irrefutable evidence of legitimately achieving level 97. Asmongold suggested this challenge might address Musk's perceived need to impress, highlighting the potential for increased likability through honesty.
Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Streaming
Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending; however, accepting it presents a significant opportunity to expand Twitter's reach into the lucrative game streaming market. Asmongold's massive Twitch following (over 3 million subscribers) could significantly increase Twitter's viewership if he were to stream there, potentially furthering Musk's ambitions for Twitter's streaming platform. Musk has previously outlined Twitter's revenue-sharing model for content creators, including features like ad revenue, tipping, and paid subscriptions.
It's noteworthy that this isn't Asmongold's first public interaction with Musk. In November 2024, Asmongold publicly supported Musk's lawsuit against companies allegedly boycotting Twitter.
