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, which requires significant time and expertise, has led some to speculate that Musk may have received assistance from a skilled player.

Elon Musk, known for his love of video games, frequently updates his followers on his gaming endeavors. Recently, he was ejected from Path of Exile 2 for performing too many actions in a short time. Musk claimed that his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly identified it as macro use, a method to automate actions. While this incident showcases Musk's dedication to gaming, it has also sparked skepticism among players about the authenticity of his gaming prowess.

Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has questioned the legitimacy of Musk's gaming achievements, particularly doubting that Musk could reach level 97 in Path of Exile 2 on his own. Asmongold's challenge is not an exclusivity agreement; he would continue streaming on Twitch alongside Twitter. He suggested that Musk's motivation might be driven by ego and that honesty about his gaming abilities could make him more likable to his audience.

Asmongold's Challenge Offers Musk a Chance to Boost Twitter Streaming

It remains to be seen whether Musk will take up Asmongold's challenge, but doing so could significantly enhance Twitter's streaming capabilities. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his main Twitch channel, could help Twitter realize Musk's vision for the platform's streaming potential. Musk has previously outlined Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which allows content creators to earn from ad revenue and offers features like tipping and paid subscriptions.

Notably, Asmongold has previously expressed support for Musk, such as in November 2024, when he backed Musk's inclusion of Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
