Ilon Musk 'leaked' Asmongold streamer's private messages after being exposed by gamers

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 rapidly 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 in-game progression. Viewers also noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his streams, contradicting the skill expected of someone who had allegedly 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 for X platform content.

Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and employs editors, a standard practice among Twitch and YouTube streamers to streamline content creation and focus on production. Asmongold interpreted Musk's comment as revealing a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes operations of content creation. The exchange underscores the ongoing debate surrounding Musk's gaming activities and his public image.
