Ilon Musk 'leaked' Asmongold streamer's private messages after being exposed by gamers

Elon Musk's Path of Exile 2 Leveling Controversy: A Public Exchange with Asmongold

Following accusations of using a "boosting" service to reach level 97 with a character in Path of Exile 2, Elon Musk engaged in a public exchange of private messages with streamer Asmongold.

The controversy ignited after Asmongold released a 32-minute video addressing allegations of Musk "cheating" by either purchasing a high-level character or employing someone to level it. The video highlighted the significant time investment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could manage his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while simultaneously dedicating the necessary time to the game. Further fueling the speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his streams, contradicting the skills expected of someone who allegedly boosted a character to level 97.

Musk responded to Asmongold's video, claiming he also "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold similarly consults a team of editors before posting on X. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and his editors work for him, a standard practice among YouTube and Twitch streamers to streamline content creation.

Asmongold interpreted Musk's comment as revealing a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes operations of content creation. The exchange underscores the ongoing debate surrounding the allegations and highlights the differing perspectives on gaming practices and content production.
