Asmongold Issues Challenge to 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 expulsion from Path of Exile 2 for rapid actions fueled speculation about macro or bot usage, questioning the legitimacy of his claimed 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 stemmed from Musk's recent ban from the game due to excessively rapid actions, leading many to suspect the use of automation tools.

Musk, a self-proclaimed video game enthusiast, frequently shares his gaming progress with his followers. However, his expulsion from Path of Exile 2, attributed by Musk to the game's anti-cheat system misinterpreting his skillful play, ignited debate about the authenticity of his achievements.

Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, directly challenged Musk, wagering a year of simultaneous Twitch and Twitter streaming against concrete proof of Musk's level 97 attainment. Asmongold suggested the challenge might expose Musk's potential ego and that honesty would ultimately garner him more respect than fabricated accomplishments.

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 presence in the gaming streaming sphere. Asmongold's substantial following (over 3 million Twitch subscribers) could significantly boost Twitter's viewership if he fulfills his promise. This aligns with Musk's previously announced plans for Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which includes features designed to incentivize creators, such as ad revenue, tipping, and subscriptions.

It's noteworthy that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk, notably expressing support for his inclusion of Twitch in a lawsuit against companies allegedly boycotting Twitter in November 2024.
