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 popular 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 immense time commitment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could manage his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while simultaneously dedicating the necessary hours to the game. Further fueling the speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his own streams, contradicting the skillset expected of someone who had supposedly leveled a character to 97.
Musk responded to Asmongold's video, claiming he too "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold requires a team of editors before posting on X. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and employs editors, a standard practice among many YouTube and Twitch streamers to streamline content creation.
Asmongold interpreted Musk's comment as revealing a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes processes involved in content creation. The exchange highlights the clash between a high-profile CEO's perspective and the realities of the streaming community.
