Summary
- Asmongold challenged Elon Musk to prove his Path of Exile 2 level 97 achievement, offering a year of Twitter streaming in exchange for verifiable evidence.

Twitch star Asmongold issued a provocative challenge to Elon Musk, wagering a year of simultaneous Twitch and Twitter streaming against proof of Musk's legitimate attainment of level 97 in Path of Exile 2. This high level, typically requiring significant time and skill, sparked debate about the authenticity of Musk's claimed accomplishments.
Musk, a self-proclaimed video game enthusiast, frequently shares his gaming progress. His recent ban from Path of Exile 2 for excessively rapid actions—attributed by Musk to his flawless gameplay overwhelming the anti-cheat system—further fueled skepticism regarding his gaming expertise. The incident prompted questions about the true extent of his gaming abilities.
Asmongold, a prominent and often controversial Twitch streamer, publicly questioned Musk's claims. He bet a year of Twitter streaming (in addition to his existing Twitch stream) on Musk providing irrefutable evidence of his Path of Exile 2 achievement. Asmongold suggested the challenge might expose Musk's ego, hinting that honesty would garner more respect than boasting about potentially unearned accomplishments.
Asmongold's Challenge: A Potential Boost for Twitter Streaming
Musk's response to Asmongold's challenge remains pending; however, accepting it presents a significant opportunity to expand Twitter's reach into the lucrative game streaming market. Asmongold's massive Twitch following (over 3 million) could significantly boost Twitter's streaming platform, potentially aiding Musk's previously announced plans for a revenue-sharing model with features like tipping and subscriptions.
It's noteworthy that Asmongold has previously commented on Musk, notably expressing support for Musk's November 2024 lawsuit against companies allegedly boycotting Twitter.
