Asmongold Challenges Elon Musk: A Bold Confrontation

Summary

• Asmongold challenges Elon Musk to prove his level 97 achievement 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 for performing too many actions quickly, leading to suspicions of using macros or bots.
• Musk has yet to respond to Asmongold's challenge.

Twitch content creator Asmongold has issued a bold challenge to Elon Musk, offering to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk can provide evidence that he legitimately reached level 97 in Path of Exile 2. Achieving this level typically requires significant time and skill, leading some to speculate that Musk may have received assistance from a skilled player.

Musk has been vocal about his passion for video games, regularly sharing his gaming experiences with his followers. However, he was recently removed from Path of Exile 2 due to performing too many actions in quick succession. Musk claimed that his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged it as macro use, a tool that automates actions. While this incident demonstrates Musk's dedication to gaming, it has also sparked skepticism among some players about the authenticity of his achievements.

Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has questioned Musk's gaming credentials, suggesting that reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2 might be beyond Musk's personal capabilities. Asmongold's challenge is not an exclusivity agreement; he would continue streaming on Twitch while also streaming on Twitter. He suggested that Musk's refusal to provide evidence might be driven by ego and that honesty about his gaming skills could make him more relatable to his audience.

Asmongold's Challenge and Its Impact on Twitter Streaming

Whether Musk will respond to Asmongold's challenge remains to be seen, but it presents a significant opportunity to expand Twitter's presence in the game streaming market. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his primary Twitch channel, could significantly boost Twitter's streaming ambitions if he starts streaming there. 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 example, in November 2024, Asmongold supported Musk's decision to include Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
