Elon Musk, after facing accusations of using a "boosting" 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 purchasing a high-level character or employing someone to level it. The video highlighted the immense time commitment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could manage this alongside his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X. Furthermore, observers noted inconsistencies between Musk's in-game performance during streams and the skill level expected of a level 97 character.
Musk responded to Asmongold's video, stating he also "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold similarly consults a team of editors before posting on X. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and his editors work for him, 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.
