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 proof.
• Musk's expulsion from Path of Exile 2 for rapid actions fueled speculation about macro or bot use, questioning the legitimacy of his claimed gaming prowess.
• Musk has yet to respond 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 stems from Musk's recent ban from the game due to excessively rapid actions, leading to accusations of macro or bot usage.

Musk, a known video game enthusiast, maintains his gaming achievements are legitimate, attributing his ban to Path of Exile 2's overly sensitive anti-cheat system. However, this explanation hasn't fully quelled doubts about his self-reported skill level.

Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, escalated the situation by offering a unique proposition: a year of simultaneous streaming on both Twitch and Twitter if Musk can provide irrefutable evidence of his Path of Exile 2 achievement. Asmongold suggested this challenge is less about the game itself and more about Musk's perceived need to project an image of exceptional skill.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Gaming

Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending, but a positive outcome could significantly benefit Twitter's nascent gaming streaming ambitions. Asmongold's substantial Twitch following (over 3 million) makes his participation a potentially game-changing event for Twitter's streaming platform. This aligns with Musk's previously announced plans for Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which includes features designed to attract and support content creators.

It's important to note that this isn't Asmongold's first public interaction with Musk. Previously, Asmongold publicly supported Musk's legal action against companies allegedly boycotting Twitter.
