Asmongold Challenges Elon Musk

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 evidence.
• Musk's ban from Path of Exile 2 for rapid actions fueled speculation about macro or bot use, questioning the legitimacy of his claimed gaming prowess.
• Musk has yet to respond to Asmongold's challenge.

Popular Twitch streamer Asmongold issued a public challenge to Elon Musk, demanding proof of his purported level 97 achievement in Path of Exile 2. This high level, requiring significant time and skill, prompted skepticism regarding Musk's claimed accomplishment. Some believe he may have received assistance from another player.

Musk, a self-proclaimed video game enthusiast, frequently shares his gaming progress with his followers. His recent ban from Path of Exile 2 for exceeding the game's action-per-second limit, attributed by Musk to his exceptional skill triggering the anti-cheat system, further fueled the debate. This incident, while showcasing Musk's gaming habits, also raised questions about the authenticity of his achievements.

Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, directly challenged Musk's credibility, suggesting the level 97 claim was improbable. He offered a unique wager: a year of simultaneous streaming on both Twitter and Twitch, contingent upon Musk providing irrefutable evidence of his Path of Exile 2 accomplishment. Asmongold hinted that the challenge might be more about Musk's ego, suggesting honesty would garner more respect than boasting about potentially unverified achievements.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Streaming

Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending; however, accepting the offer presents a significant opportunity to expand Twitter's reach into the gaming streaming market. Asmongold's massive Twitch following (over 3 million subscribers) could significantly boost Twitter's streaming platform, potentially accelerating Musk's plans for content creator revenue sharing. Musk has previously outlined a revenue-sharing model for Twitter, incorporating features like ad revenue, tipping, and paid subscriptions.

It's worth noting 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.
