Feb 25,25

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 usage, questioning his claimed gaming prowess.
  • Musk has yet to respond to Asmongold's challenge.

Popular Twitch streamer Asmongold issued a public challenge to Elon Musk, questioning the legitimacy of Musk's reported level 97 achievement in Path of Exile 2. This high level, requiring significant time and skill, prompted skepticism regarding Musk's solo accomplishment.

Musk, a known video game enthusiast, recently faced removal from Path of Exile 2 due to an excessively high action-per-second rate. He attributed this to his exceptional gameplay, suggesting the anti-cheat system mistook his skill for macro usage. While demonstrating his gaming engagement, this incident further fueled doubts about the authenticity of his reported achievements.

Asmongold, a prominent and often controversial figure, directly challenged Musk's claim. He offered to stream on Twitter for a full year, concurrently with his Twitch streams, if Musk could provide irrefutable proof of legitimately reaching level 97. Asmongold suggested the challenge might be more about Musk's ego, implying that honesty would garner more respect than boasting unverified accomplishments.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Streaming

Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending; however, accepting it presents a significant opportunity to expand Twitter's reach into the gaming streaming market. Asmongold's substantial Twitch following (over 3 million subscribers) makes his potential Twitter presence highly attractive. This could significantly advance Musk's plans to establish Twitter as a viable streaming platform, particularly given Twitter's recently announced revenue-sharing model for creators, including features like tipping and subscriptions.

It's noteworthy that this isn't Asmongold's first public interaction with Musk. In November 2024, Asmongold publicly supported Musk's lawsuit against companies allegedly boycotting Twitter.
