Elon Musk's Path of Exile 2 Leveling Controversy: A Public Exchange with Asmongold
Elon Musk recently found himself embroiled in a public debate 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 32-minute video scrutinizing these claims. The video highlighted the significant time investment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could manage his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while simultaneously achieving such a high level.
Further fueling the speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his streaming sessions, a stark contrast to the skills expected of someone who had supposedly "boosted" a character to level 97.
Musk responded to Asmongold's video on X, stating that he too "needs to coordinate with the boss," and implying that Asmongold's editorial process requires similar coordination with a team. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and employs editors to assist with his content, a standard practice among many prominent streamers and YouTubers.
Asmongold interpreted Musk's comment as a display of misunderstanding regarding the behind-the-scenes operations of content creation. The exchange underscores the clash between public perception and the realities of high-profile individuals' time management and the complexities of online content production.
