Elon Musk, after facing accusations of using a "booster" service to reach level 97 with a character in Path of Exile 2, shared private messages with streamer Asmongold. This followed Asmongold's 32-minute video addressing allegations of Musk "cheating" by either buying 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 this alongside his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X. Furthermore, Asmongold pointed out inconsistencies between Musk's in-game performance during streams and the skill level expected of someone who had allegedly leveled a character to 97.
Musk responded to the video, claiming he also "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold consults a team of editors before posting on X. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and employs editors, a standard practice among YouTube and Twitch streamers to streamline content creation. Asmongold interpreted Musk's comment as revealing a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes processes of content creation.
