Elon Musk, after facing accusations of using a "boosting" service to reach level 97 with a character in Path of Exile 2, publicly shared private messages with streamer Asmongold. This followed Asmongold's 32-minute video addressing allegations of Musk "cheating" by either 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 time to the game. Further fueling speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his streams, contrasting sharply with the skill expected of someone who had supposedly leveled a character to 97.
Musk responded to Asmongold's video, stating he also "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold consults a team of editors before publishing content on X. Asmongold countered that he doesn't have a boss and that his editors work for him, a common practice among YouTubers and Twitch streamers to streamline content creation and editing. Asmongold argued that Musk's comment revealed a misunderstanding of the typical workflow in content creation.
