Ilon Musk 'leaked' Asmongold streamer's private messages after being exposed by gamers

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

Elon Musk recently found himself embroiled in a public dispute with streamer Asmongold regarding allegations of using a "boosting" service to rapidly level a character in Path of Exile 2 to level 97.

The controversy ignited after Asmongold released a detailed 32-minute video questioning Musk's claim of legitimately achieving this high level. The video highlighted the significant time investment required to reach level 97, contrasting it with Musk's demanding responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X. Further fueling the speculation, Asmongold pointed out inconsistencies between Musk's in-game performance during streams and the skill expected of someone who had allegedly "boosted" a character to such a high level.

Musk responded to the accusations on X, claiming he needed to "coordinate with the boss," drawing a parallel to Asmongold's alleged reliance on a team of editors for his content. This comparison, however, was met with pushback from Asmongold, who clarified that his editors are his employees, a common practice among streamers to streamline content creation and focus on production.

Asmongold countered that Musk's comment revealed a misunderstanding of the typical workflow for content creators on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. The exchange highlights a clash of perspectives between a high-profile CEO and a prominent streamer, exposing differing understandings of workload and content production processes.
