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 ban from Path of Exile 2 for rapid actions fueled speculation about macro or bot usage, questioning the legitimacy of his claimed high level.
• Musk has yet to respond to Asmongold's challenge.

Twitch streamer Asmongold publicly questioned Elon Musk's claimed level 97 achievement in Path of Exile 2, an accomplishment generally requiring significant skill and playtime. This skepticism stems from Musk's recent ban from the game for performing actions too quickly, leading to accusations of macro or bot use. While Musk attributed this to his exceptional gameplay exceeding the anti-cheat system's capabilities, doubts persist regarding the authenticity of his reported gaming prowess.

Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, directly challenged Musk, offering to stream on Twitter for a full year if Musk could provide irrefutable proof of legitimately achieving level 97. This offer wouldn't be exclusive, allowing simultaneous Twitch streams. Asmongold hinted that Musk's actions might be driven by ego, suggesting honesty would garner more respect than boasting unverified achievements.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Gaming

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) could significantly boost Twitter's streaming viewership, potentially furthering Musk's plans for the platform. This aligns with Musk's previously announced revenue-sharing model for creators on Twitter, including features like ad revenue, tipping, and paid subscriptions.

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