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 for rapid actions fueled speculation about macro or bot use, questioning his gaming prowess.
• Musk remains unresponsive to Asmongold's challenge.

Twitch star Asmongold publicly questioned Elon Musk's claimed level 97 attainment in Path of Exile 2, an achievement considered highly time-consuming and skill-intensive. This prompted speculation that Musk may have received assistance.

Musk, a self-proclaimed video game enthusiast, frequently shares his gaming progress. His recent ban from Path of Exile 2 for excessively rapid actions—attributed by Musk to the game's anti-cheat system misinterpreting his skill—further fueled the debate surrounding his accomplishments. This incident, while showcasing Musk's gaming engagement, also raised questions about the legitimacy of his reported achievements.

Asmongold, a prominent and often controversial Twitch streamer, directly challenged Musk's credibility. He offered to stream on Twitter for a full year, concurrently with his Twitch streams, if Musk could provide irrefutable proof of legitimately achieving level 97. Asmongold suggested the challenge might be more about Musk's ego, implying that honesty would garner more respect than boasting about potentially 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 massive Twitch following (over 3 million subscribers) makes his potential Twitter presence a considerable draw, potentially furthering Musk's ambitions for Twitter's streaming platform. This aligns with Musk's previously announced revenue-sharing model for content creators on Twitter, offering features like ad revenue, tipping, and paid subscriptions.

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