Summary
- Asmongold challenges Elon Musk to prove his reported gaming achievements in Path of Exile 2, offering to stream on Twitter if Musk can provide evidence.
- Musk was removed from Path of Exile 2 for performing actions too quickly, sparking suspicions of macro or bot use 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, offering to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk can provide solid evidence of reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2. This level of achievement typically demands significant time and expertise, leading some to speculate that Musk might have received assistance from another skilled player.
Musk's passion for video games is well-documented, and he frequently shares updates on his gaming escapades with his followers. Recently, he was ejected from Path of Exile 2 for executing actions too rapidly, which led to accusations that he might be using macros or bots. Musk defended himself by claiming his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged it as cheating. While this demonstrates that even the world's richest man finds time for gaming, it has also sparked skepticism among players about whether Musk genuinely achieved these feats on his own.
Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has openly questioned Musk's gaming prowess, suggesting that reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2 is beyond Musk's personal capabilities. Asmongold's challenge is not just about proving gaming skills but also about Musk's ego, hinting that Musk might garner more respect by being honest about his achievements rather than trying to impress with potentially unearned accolades. Importantly, Asmongold's offer to stream on Twitter would not be exclusive; he would continue streaming on Twitch simultaneously.
Asmongold's Challenge: A Boost for Twitter Streaming
It remains to be seen whether Musk will take up Asmongold's challenge, but doing so could significantly expand Twitter's presence in the game streaming arena. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his primary Twitch channel, could help Musk realize his vision for Twitter's streaming capabilities. Musk has previously 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 also worth noting that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk's ventures. In November 2024, Asmongold expressed support for Musk's decision to include Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
