Tesla CEO Leaks Private Messages Amid Gamer Controversy

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

Following accusations of using a "boosting" service to achieve level 97 with a character in Path of Exile 2, Elon Musk engaged in a public exchange of private messages with popular streamer Asmongold.

The controversy ignited after Asmongold released a 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 investment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could manage his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while simultaneously dedicating the necessary effort to the game.

Further fueling the debate, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his streaming sessions, contradicting the expertise expected from someone who allegedly leveled a character from scratch to level 97.

Musk responded to Asmongold's video, claiming he too "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold consults a team of editors before posting on X.

Asmongold countered that he doesn't have a boss and that his editors are his employees, a standard practice among YouTube and Twitch streamers to streamline content production. Asmongold interpreted Musk's comment as revealing a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes aspects of content creation.
