Twitch content creator Asmongold has thrown down the gauntlet to Elon Musk, offering to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk can substantiate his claim of reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2. Achieving such a high level usually requires significant time and skill, leading some to question whether Musk received assistance from a more experienced player.
Elon Musk is no stranger to sharing his gaming exploits with his followers, regularly updating them on his adventures. However, his recent ejection from Path of Exile 2 due to executing actions too quickly has sparked controversy. Musk contends that his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged it as using macros, tools that automate in-game actions. While this demonstrates that the world's richest man still finds time for gaming, it also casts doubt on the authenticity of his achievements.
Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has publicly questioned Musk's gaming prowess, specifically doubting his ability to reach level 97 in Path of Exile 2 without assistance. In a bold move, Asmongold promised to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk could provide concrete evidence of his accomplishments. Importantly, this would not be an exclusive arrangement, as Asmongold would continue streaming on Twitch simultaneously. He suggested that Musk's challenge might be more about ego, and that honesty about his gaming skills could make him more likable to fans.
Asmongold's Challenge and Its Impact on Twitter Streaming
It remains to be seen whether Musk will take up Asmongold's challenge, but doing so could significantly boost Twitter's streaming capabilities. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his main Twitch channel, could help Twitter expand its streaming platform if he were to broadcast there. Musk has previously outlined Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which allows content creators to monetize through ad revenue, tips, and paid subscriptions.
It's worth noting that Asmongold has previously commented on Elon Musk, expressing support in November 2024 for Musk's inclusion of Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
