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 recent ban from Path of Exile 2 for excessively rapid actions fueled speculation about potential macro or bot use.
• 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 typically requiring significant skill and playtime. This skepticism stems from Musk's recent ban from the game due to an unusually high action-per-second rate, raising concerns about potential cheating.

Musk, a self-proclaimed gamer, frequently shares his gaming experiences with his followers. However, his explanation—that his flawless gameplay triggered the anti-cheat system—has been met with doubt. Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, directly challenged Musk, offering a year of simultaneous streaming on both Twitter and Twitch as a wager, contingent on Musk providing irrefutable proof of his legitimate achievement. Asmongold hinted that Musk's actions might be driven more by ego than genuine accomplishment, suggesting honesty would garner more respect.

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 reach into the gaming streaming market. Asmongold's massive Twitch following (over 3 million subscribers) could significantly boost Twitter's streaming viewership, potentially accelerating Musk's plans for a robust streaming platform. This aligns with Musk's previously announced revenue-sharing model for content creators on Twitter, incorporating features like tipping and subscriptions.

It's noteworthy that this isn't Asmongold's first public interaction with Musk. Previously, Asmongold publicly supported Musk's lawsuit against companies allegedly boycotting Twitter (November 2024).
