Elon Musk Responds to Cheating Allegations in Path of Exile 2
Following accusations of using a "boosting" service to reach level 97 with a character in Path of Exile 2, Elon Musk shared private messages with streamer Asmongold.
The controversy ignited after Asmongold released a 32-minute video addressing allegations of Musk "cheating." The video highlights the significant time investment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could manage his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while simultaneously leveling a character. The video also points out inconsistencies between Musk's in-game performance during streams and the skill level expected of someone who allegedly boosted a character to level 97.
Musk's response to Asmongold's video included a comment about needing to "coordinate with the boss," and a suggestion that Asmongold consults a team of editors before publishing content on X. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and his editors work for him, a standard practice among many 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.
