Asmongold Challenges Elon Musk

Summary

• Asmongold challenges Elon Musk to prove his reported gaming achievements in Path of Exile 2, offering to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk can provide evidence.
• Musk was removed from Path of Exile 2 due to rapid actions, leading to suspicions of using macros or bots and questioning his gaming skills.
• Musk has yet to respond to Asmongold's challenge.

Twitch content creator Asmongold has thrown down the gauntlet to Elon Musk, challenging him to substantiate his claim of reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2. This impressive feat, which typically demands significant time and skill, has sparked speculation that Musk might have received assistance from another adept player.

Elon Musk, known for his passion for video games, frequently shares updates about his gaming escapades with his followers. Recently, he was ejected from Path of Exile 2 after executing a series of actions too quickly. Musk contends that his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged it as using macros, tools designed to automate actions. While this incident underscores Musk's dedication to gaming, it has also fueled skepticism among some players about the authenticity of his gaming prowess.

Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has openly questioned Musk's gaming credentials, particularly doubting his ability to reach level 97 in Path of Exile 2 unaided. In a bold move, Asmongold promised to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk could provide concrete evidence of his achievement. This offer does not entail exclusivity, as Asmongold would continue streaming on Twitch simultaneously. He suggested that Musk's motivation might be more about ego, and that honesty about his gaming skills could enhance his public image rather than trying to impress with potentially unearned accolades.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Boost for Twitter Streaming

It remains to be seen whether Musk will take up Asmongold's challenge, but it presents a significant opportunity to expand Twitter's reach into the gaming streaming arena. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his primary Twitch channel, could significantly elevate Twitter's streaming platform if he follows through with his promise. Previously, Elon Musk has outlined Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which enables content creators to earn from ad revenue and offers features like tipping and paid subscriptions.

It's worth noting that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk's ventures. For instance, in November 2024, he expressed support for Musk's decision to include Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
