Elon Musk Leaked Asmongold's Private Messages

Elon Musk's Path of Exile 2 Leveling Controversy: A Public Exchange with Asmongold

Following accusations of using a "boosting" service to achieve level 97 for a Path of Exile 2 character, Elon Musk engaged in a public exchange of private messages with streamer Asmongold.

The controversy stemmed from Asmongold's 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 significant time investment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could manage his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while simultaneously dedicating the necessary time to the game. Further fueling the speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his gameplay streams, inconsistent with someone who had supposedly leveled a character from scratch to level 97.

Musk responded to Asmongold's video, claiming he too "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold requires editorial input from a team before posting on X. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and employs editors to assist with post-production, a standard practice among many YouTube and Twitch streamers. This, Asmongold argued, highlights Musk's apparent lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes processes of content creation.
