Twitch content creator Asmongold has thrown down the gauntlet, offering to stream on Twitter for a year if Elon Musk can provide solid evidence that he legitimately reached level 97 in Path of Exile 2. This impressive feat, which typically requires a significant amount of time and expertise, has led some to speculate that Musk might have received assistance from another skilled player.
Elon Musk, known for his love of video games, frequently shares updates on his gaming adventures with his followers. Recently, he was ejected from Path of Exile 2 due to performing too many actions in quick succession. Musk claims his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged it as using macros, tools that automate actions. While this incident showcases that even the world's richest man finds time for gaming, it has also sparked skepticism among some players about the authenticity of his gaming achievements.
Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has openly questioned Musk's gaming prowess, suggesting that reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2 might be beyond Musk's personal capabilities. Asmongold's challenge is not an exclusivity deal; he would continue streaming on Twitch simultaneously. He also hinted that Musk's motivation might be more about ego, suggesting that honesty about his gaming skills could make him more likable to his audience.
Asmongold's Challenge Offers Musk a Chance to Boost Twitter Streaming
It remains to be seen whether Musk will take up Asmongold's challenge, but doing so could significantly enhance Twitter's foray into game streaming. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his primary Twitch channel, could help Twitter realize Musk's vision for the platform. Musk has previously outlined Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which allows content creators to earn from ad revenue and offers features like tipping and paid subscriptions.
It's worth noting that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk's ventures. For instance, in November 2024, he expressed support for Musk's decision to include Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
