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 use, questioning his gaming prowess.
• Musk has yet to respond to Asmongold's challenge.

Popular 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 prompted Asmongold to offer a unique proposition: a year of simultaneous streaming on both Twitch and Twitter if Musk could provide irrefutable proof of his in-game progress.

Musk's recent ban from Path of Exile 2 due to excessively rapid actions further fueled the controversy. While Musk attributed this to the game's anti-cheat system misinterpreting his skillful play, many remain skeptical, questioning the legitimacy of his reported accomplishments. Asmongold's challenge highlights this skepticism, suggesting that Musk's actions might stem from an inflated ego, implying that honesty would garner more respect than boasting about potentially unearned 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 the gaming streaming market. Asmongold's massive Twitch following (over 3 million subscribers) makes his potential Twitter stream a highly attractive prospect, potentially accelerating Musk's ambitions for Twitter's streaming platform. This aligns with Musk's previously announced revenue-sharing model for creators, incorporating 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.
