Twitch star Asmongold issued a provocative challenge to Elon Musk, wagering a year of dual-platform streaming (Twitch and Twitter) against verifiable proof of Musk's claimed level 97 attainment in Path of Exile 2. This high level, demanding significant skill and playtime, sparked suspicion that Musk may have received assistance.
Musk's publicized gaming exploits and recent ban from Path of Exile 2 for exceeding the game's action-per-second limit (attributed by Musk to his exceptional skill, but interpreted by others as potential macro usage) fueled the controversy. This incident, while showcasing Musk's gaming hobby, also ignited debate regarding the authenticity of his claimed accomplishments.
Asmongold, known for his outspoken commentary, directly questioned Musk's gaming achievements, suggesting the level 97 claim was improbable without external aid. Asmongold's bold offer – a year of streaming on Twitter alongside his existing Twitch presence – presents Musk with an opportunity to publicly validate his skills. Asmongold hinted the challenge might be less about gaming skill and more about addressing concerns about Musk's perceived need to project an image of exceptional ability.
Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending; however, accepting it could significantly advance Musk's ambitions for Twitter's foray into game streaming. Asmongold's massive Twitch following (over 3 million) makes his participation a potentially game-changing event for Twitter's nascent streaming platform. This aligns with Musk's previously announced revenue-sharing model for Twitter creators, encompassing 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.
