Twitch content creator Asmongold has thrown down the gauntlet to Elon Musk, offering to stream exclusively on Twitter for a year if Musk can provide solid evidence of reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2 without assistance. This impressive feat typically requires a significant amount of time and expertise, sparking speculation that Musk might have received help from another skilled player.

Elon Musk has openly shared his passion for video games, frequently updating his followers on his gaming exploits. Recently, Musk was ejected from Path of Exile 2 after performing numerous actions in rapid succession. He claimed that his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged it as macro usage, a method to automate actions. While this incident demonstrates that the world's richest man still finds time for gaming, it has also led some to question the authenticity of his gaming accomplishments.

Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has publicly challenged the credibility of Musk's gaming achievements, asserting that it's unlikely Musk reached level 97 on his own. Asmongold's offer to stream on Twitter is not an exclusivity deal; he would continue streaming on Twitch simultaneously. He suggested that Musk's challenge might be more about ego, and that honesty about his gaming skills 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 foray into game streaming. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his primary Twitch channel, could help propel Twitter's streaming ambitions forward. Musk has previously outlined Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which enables content creators to earn from ad revenue and includes features like tipping and paid subscriptions.

It's worth noting that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk and his ventures. For instance, in November 2024, Asmongold expressed support for Musk's decision to include Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
