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 use, questioning 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 ban from the game due to excessively rapid actions, prompting suspicions of automated gameplay.

Musk, a known video game enthusiast, maintains a public profile of his gaming activities. However, his ban from Path of Exile 2, attributed by Musk to his flawless gameplay triggering anti-cheat measures, has raised doubts among gamers about the authenticity of his reported achievements.

Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, directly challenged Musk, offering to stream on Twitter for a full year if Musk could provide concrete proof of legitimately attaining level 97. This offer wouldn't be exclusive to Twitter; Asmongold would continue his Twitch streams concurrently. Asmongold hinted that Musk's actions might be driven by ego, suggesting honesty would garner more respect than inflated claims.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Gaming

Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending. However, accepting the challenge presents a significant opportunity for Musk to expand Twitter's reach into the lucrative gaming streaming market. Asmongold's substantial Twitch following (over 3 million) could significantly increase Twitter's viewership if he were to stream there. This aligns with Musk's previously announced plans for Twitter's revenue-sharing model for content creators, including features like ad revenue, tipping, and subscriptions.

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