Twitch content creator Asmongold has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging Elon Musk to substantiate his claim of reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2. This impressive feat typically demands significant time and skill, leading to speculation that Musk might have received assistance from another proficient player.

Musk, an avid gamer, frequently shares updates about his gaming endeavors with his followers. Recently, he was ejected from Path of Exile 2 for executing actions at an unusually rapid pace. Musk contends that his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged it as macro use, a method to automate actions. While this incident underscores Musk's dedication to gaming, it has also sparked skepticism among some players about the authenticity of his achievements.

Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has openly questioned Musk's gaming credentials, doubting that Musk could personally achieve such a high level in Path of Exile 2. In a bold move, Asmongold promised to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk can provide concrete evidence of his gaming prowess. This commitment would not be exclusive, as Asmongold would continue streaming on Twitch simultaneously. He suggested that Musk's motivation might be driven by ego, and that honesty about his gaming abilities could enhance his public image.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Boost for Twitter Streaming

It remains to be seen whether Musk will take up Asmongold's challenge, but it presents a significant opportunity to expand Twitter's reach into the gaming streaming market. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his primary Twitch channel, could significantly elevate Twitter's streaming platform if he follows through on his promise. Musk has previously outlined Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which enables 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 expressed support for Musk's decision to include Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
