Ilon Musk 'leaked' Asmongold streamer's private messages after being exposed by gamers

Elon Musk Responds to Path of Exile 2 "Boosting" Allegations with Asmongold

Following accusations of using a "boosting" service to reach level 97 with a character in Path of Exile 2, Elon Musk engaged in a public exchange of messages with streamer Asmongold.

The controversy ignited after Asmongold released a 32-minute video addressing claims that Musk cheated, either by purchasing a high-level character or employing someone to level it. The video highlighted the extensive time commitment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could manage his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while simultaneously dedicating the necessary effort to the game. Further fueling speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his streams, contradicting the expertise expected from someone who allegedly boosted a character to level 97.

Musk responded to Asmongold's video, stating that he also "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting that Asmongold himself consults with a team of editors before posting on X.

Asmongold countered that he doesn't have a boss and that his editors are his employees, a standard practice among many YouTube and Twitch streamers to streamline content creation. Asmongold argued that Musk's comment only underscores a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes work involved in content production.
