Asmongold Issues Challenge to Elon Musk

Summary

• Asmongold offers to stream on Twitter if Musk can prove his reported gaming achievements.
• Musk was booted from Path of Exile 2 for fast actions, causing people to suspect macro or bot use and raising doubts about his skills.
• Musk has still not responded to Asmongold's challenge.

Twitch content creator Asmongold has issued a bold challenge to Elon Musk, offering to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk can provide solid evidence that he legitimately reached level 97 in Path of Exile 2. This achievement, known for its time-consuming and skill-intensive nature, has led some to speculate that Musk may have received assistance from a skilled player.

Musk, a self-proclaimed gaming enthusiast, frequently shares updates on his gaming exploits with his followers. Recently, he was removed from Path of Exile 2 after executing numerous actions in rapid succession. Musk claims 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 has also sparked skepticism among some players about the authenticity of his gaming prowess.

Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has openly questioned Musk's gaming credentials, suggesting that reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2 is beyond Musk's personal capabilities. Asmongold's challenge to stream on Twitter is not an exclusivity deal; he would continue streaming on Twitch simultaneously. He also hinted that Musk's motivation might be driven by ego, suggesting that honesty about his gaming achievements could enhance his public image.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Boost for Twitter Streaming

It remains to be seen whether Musk will take up Asmongold's challenge, but doing so could significantly expand Twitter's presence in the game streaming market. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his primary Twitch channel, could help propel Twitter's streaming ambitions forward. Musk has previously discussed Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which allows content creators to monetize through ad revenue, tipping, and paid subscriptions.

It's worth noting that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk's ventures. In November 2024, he expressed support for Musk's decision to include Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
