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.

Twitch streamer Asmongold publicly questioned Elon Musk's claimed level 97 achievement 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 an unusually high action-per-second rate, leading to suspicions of automated gameplay. While Musk attributed the ban to the game's anti-cheat system misinterpreting his skillful play, doubts remain among the gaming community.

Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, issued a provocative challenge: a year of simultaneous streaming on both Twitch and Twitter if Musk could provide irrefutable proof of legitimately attaining level 97. Asmongold suggested the challenge might expose Musk's ego, hinting that honesty would garner more positive public perception than claims of unverified gaming prowess.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Streaming

Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending, yet it presents a significant opportunity to expand Twitter's presence in the gaming streaming landscape. Asmongold's substantial Twitch following (over 3 million) makes his potential Twitter stream a considerable draw, potentially accelerating Musk's ambitions for Twitter's streaming platform. This aligns with Musk's previously announced revenue-sharing model for creators on Twitter, incorporating features like ad revenue, tips, and subscriptions.

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