Asmongold Issues Challenge to Elon Musk

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 due to rapid actions fueled speculation about macro or bot usage, questioning his gaming prowess.
• Musk has yet to respond to Asmongold's challenge.

Twitch streamer Asmongold issued a public challenge to Elon Musk, demanding proof of his claimed level 97 attainment in Path of Exile 2. This high level, requiring significant skill and playtime, sparked suspicion that Musk may have received 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 the game's anti-cheat system misinterpreting his skillful play—further fueled the debate surrounding his achievements. This incident, while showcasing his gaming engagement, simultaneously raised questions about the legitimacy of his reported accomplishments.

Asmongold, a prominent and often controversial Twitch streamer, directly challenged Musk's credibility. He bet a year of concurrent Twitch and Twitter streaming against concrete evidence of Musk legitimately reaching level 97. Asmongold suggested the challenge might expose Musk's ego and that honesty would garner more positive public perception than boasting unverified achievements.

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 presence in game streaming. Asmongold's substantial following (over 3 million Twitch followers) makes his potential Twitter stream a considerable draw, potentially accelerating Musk's ambitions for Twitter's streaming platform. This aligns with Musk's previously announced revenue-sharing model for content creators on Twitter, incorporating features such as tipping and subscriptions.

It's noteworthy that Asmongold has previously commented publicly on Musk, notably supporting his inclusion of Twitch in a lawsuit against companies allegedly boycotting Twitter in November 2024.
