Summary
- Asmongold offers to stream on Twitter if Musk can prove his reported gaming achievements.

- Musk has still not responded to Asmongold's challenge.
Twitch content creator Asmongold has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging Elon Musk to prove his gaming prowess by providing evidence of reaching level 97 in Path of Exile 2. This impressive feat, which typically requires significant time and skill, has sparked speculation that Musk might have received assistance from another seasoned player.
Musk's passion for video games is no secret; he frequently shares his gaming escapades with his followers. Recently, he was ejected from Path of Exile 2 due to executing numerous actions in rapid succession. Musk claims his gameplay was so flawless that the game's anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged it as using macros, tools designed to automate in-game actions. While this incident underscores Musk's dedication to gaming, it has also fueled skepticism among the gaming community about the authenticity of his achievements.
Controversial Twitch streamer Asmongold has openly questioned Musk's gaming credentials, suggesting that Musk likely wouldn't reach level 97 on his own. In a bold move, Asmongold promised to stream on Twitter for a year if Musk could substantiate his claims with solid proof. Importantly, this commitment to Twitter streaming would not be exclusive, as Asmongold would continue broadcasting on Twitch simultaneously. He also implied that Musk's challenge might be more about ego, suggesting that honesty about his gaming abilities could endear him more to the public than attempting to dazzle them with possibly unearned accolades.
Asmongold's Challenge: A Boost for Twitter Streaming
It remains to be seen whether Musk will take up Asmongold's challenge. However, accepting it could significantly enhance Twitter's foray into game streaming. Asmongold, with over 3 million followers on his main Twitch channel, could help Twitter realize Musk's vision for the platform's streaming capabilities. Musk has previously outlined Twitter's revenue-sharing model, which benefits content creators through ad revenue, tipping, and paid subscriptions.
It's worth noting that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk's ventures. In November 2024, he expressed support for Musk's decision to include Twitch in a lawsuit against companies accused of boycotting Twitter.
