In the world of online gaming, accusations can fly fast and furious, especially when high-profile figures are involved. Recently, Elon Musk found himself at the center of such an accusation after being accused of using a "booster" service to rapidly level up a character in Path of Exile 2 to level 97. Following the claims, Musk shared private messages with a streamer, attempting to clarify the situation.
The controversy gained significant attention after Asmongold—a well-known figure in the gaming community—released a 32-minute video addressing the cheating allegations against Musk. In the video, Asmongold highlighted the immense time commitment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could balance this activity with his demanding responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X. Additionally, viewers noted Musk’s lack of familiarity with basic gameplay mechanics during his streams, further fueling skepticism about his ability to achieve such a high level.
This criticism did not sit well with Musk, who fired back at Asmongold via social media. He humorously suggested that even he needs to "coordinate with the boss," implying that Asmongold must consult with a team of editors before publishing content on the X platform. In response, Asmongold clarified that he operates independently and collaborates with a team of editors who work for him, a common practice among content creators on platforms like YouTube and Twitch.
Musk's comment, according to Asmongold, underscores a misunderstanding of the content creation process. While the debate continues, it highlights the intersection of celebrity culture, gaming, and public perception in today’s digital age.
