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 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 for exceeding the action-per-second limit, leading to accusations of macro usage. While Musk attributed this to his exceptional gameplay exceeding the anti-cheat system's capabilities, doubts remain regarding the legitimacy of his reported achievements.

Asmongold, known for his outspoken nature, directly challenged Musk, offering to stream on Twitter for a full year if Musk could provide irrefutable proof of his Path of Exile 2 progress. This offer, which wouldn't be exclusive to Twitter, is intended to expose any potential fabrication. Asmongold suggested the challenge might address Musk's perceived need to impress, hinting that honesty would garner more positive reception.

Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Gaming

Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending; however, accepting it presents a significant opportunity to expand Twitter's presence in the gaming streaming market. Asmongold's substantial Twitch following (over 3 million) could significantly boost Twitter's viewership if he were to stream there. This aligns with Musk's previously announced plans for Twitter's revenue-sharing model for streamers, incorporating features like ad revenue, tipping, 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.
