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 claimed gaming prowess.
- Musk has yet to respond to Asmongold's challenge.
Twitch star Asmongold issued a provocative challenge to Elon Musk, demanding proof of his purported level 97 attainment in Path of Exile 2. This high level, requiring significant skill and playtime, prompted suspicions of external assistance.
Musk, a self-proclaimed gamer, frequently shares his gaming experiences. His recent ban from Path of Exile 2 for excessively rapid actions – attributed by Musk to his exceptional skill overwhelming the anti-cheat system – further ignited debate about his gaming achievements. Skepticism arose regarding the authenticity of his reported accomplishments.
Asmongold, a prominent and often controversial Twitch streamer, publicly questioned Musk's claims. He offered a unique wager: a year of simultaneous streaming on both Twitch and Twitter if Musk could provide irrefutable evidence of legitimately reaching level 97. Asmongold suggested the challenge might be less about gaming skill and more about Musk's perceived need to project an image of exceptional ability.
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 presence in the gaming streaming market. Asmongold's massive Twitch following (over 3 million subscribers) could significantly boost Twitter's viewership if he were to stream there, potentially furthering Musk's ambitions for Twitter's streaming platform. Musk previously unveiled Twitter's revenue-sharing model, including features like ad revenue, tipping, and subscriptions for content creators.
It's noteworthy that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk, notably expressing support for Musk's November 2024 lawsuit against companies allegedly boycotting Twitter.
