Elon Musk Leaked Asmongold's DMs After Gamer Exposé

Elon Musk Responds to Cheating Allegations in Path of Exile 2

Following accusations of using a "boosting" service to reach level 97 with a character in Path of Exile 2, Elon Musk shared private messages with popular streamer Asmongold.

The controversy ignited after Asmongold released a 32-minute video addressing claims that Musk cheated, either by 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. Further fueling the speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his own streams, a stark contrast to the expertise expected of someone who allegedly boosted a character to level 97.

Musk responded to Asmongold's video, stating he also "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold requires a team of editors for X content. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and employs his editors, a standard practice among many YouTube and Twitch streamers to optimize content creation and reduce their workload.

Asmongold interpreted Musk's comment as revealing a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes processes of content creation. The exchange highlights the contrasting workflows between a large corporation and independent content creators.
