Summary

• Asmongold challenges Elon Musk to prove his reported gaming achievements in Path of Exile 2, offering to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk can provide evidence.
• Musk was removed from Path of Exile 2 due to rapid actions, leading to suspicions of using macros or bots and questioning his gaming skills.
• Musk has not yet responded to Asmongold's challenge.

Twitch content creator Asmongold has thrown down the gauntlet to Elon Musk, offering to stream exclusively on Twitter for a year if Musk can substantiate his claim of reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2. Achieving such a level typically demands a significant amount of time and expertise, leading some to speculate that Musk might have received assistance from another skilled player.

Elon Musk, known for his passion for video games, frequently shares updates about his gaming escapades with his followers. However, his recent ejection from Path of Exile 2 due to executing actions too rapidly has sparked controversy. Musk claims his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged it as using macros, tools that automate in-game actions. While this demonstrates that the world's richest man still finds time for gaming, it has also fueled skepticism among some players about the authenticity of his achievements.

Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has publicly 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 this challenge might be more about Musk's ego and that honesty about his gaming skills could enhance his public image rather than attempting to impress with potentially unearned accolades.

Asmongold's Challenge Offers Musk a Chance to Boost Twitter Streaming

Whether Musk will take up Asmongold's challenge remains to be seen, but it presents a unique opportunity to expand Twitter's reach into the gaming streaming arena. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his primary Twitch channel, could significantly boost Twitter's streaming platform if he were to stream there. This aligns with Musk's vision for Twitter, as he has previously outlined a revenue-sharing model that benefits content creators through ad revenue, tipping, and paid subscriptions.

It's worth noting that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk's ventures, such as voicing support in November 2024 for Musk's legal action against companies accused of boycotting Twitter, which included Twitch.
