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 remains unresponsive to Asmongold's challenge.

Popular Twitch streamer Asmongold publicly questioned Elon Musk's claim of reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2, an accomplishment generally requiring significant skill and playtime. This skepticism stemmed from Musk's recent ban from the game for exceeding the action-per-second limit, leading to accusations of macro or bot use.

Musk, a self-proclaimed gamer, frequently shares his gaming progress with his followers. However, his ban sparked debate about the legitimacy of his gaming achievements. Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, issued a provocative challenge: a year of simultaneous Twitch and Twitter streaming if Musk could provide irrefutable proof of his Path of Exile 2 accomplishment. Asmongold suggested this challenge might address Musk's perceived need to project an image of exceptional skill, implying that honesty would be more appealing to his audience.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Gaming

Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending. However, accepting the challenge offers Musk a significant opportunity to promote Twitter's nascent gaming streaming ambitions. Asmongold's massive Twitch following (over 3 million) would significantly boost Twitter's viewership if he were to stream there, potentially validating Musk's vision for the platform. This aligns with Musk's previously announced revenue-sharing model for content creators on Twitter, including features like tipping and subscriptions.

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