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 effort to the game. Viewers also noted inconsistencies between Musk's gameplay streams and the skill level 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 similarly consults a team of editors before posting on X.
Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and employs editors for collaborative content creation – a standard practice among prominent streamers on YouTube and Twitch, allowing them to concentrate on content development rather than post-production editing. Asmongold argued that Musk's comment revealed a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes aspects of content creation.
