Elon Musk Responds to Path of Exile 2 "Boosting" Allegations with Asmongold
Following accusations of using a "boosting" service to reach level 97 with a character in Path of Exile 2, Elon Musk engaged in a public exchange of messages with popular streamer Asmongold.
The controversy ignited after Asmongold released a 32-minute video addressing claims that Musk cheated, suggesting he either purchased a high-level character or employed someone to level it for him. 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 hours to the game. Further fueling speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his own streams, contradicting the skill 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 implying Asmongold requires a team of editors for X content. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and his editors are his employees, a standard practice for many YouTube and Twitch streamers to streamline content creation.
Asmongold interpreted Musk's remark as demonstrating a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes aspects of content production. The exchange underscores the ongoing debate surrounding the allegations and highlights the contrasting perspectives on gaming practices and content creation workflows.
