Elon Musk And Asmongold's Gaming Beef: Who's The Real Gamer?

In an unexpected turn of events, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and popular Twitch streamer Asmongold have become involved in a public argument about gaming credentials, specifically for the action role-playing game Path of Exile 2.

Allegations of Account Sharing

The argument began when Asmongold, actual name Zack, accused Musk of not personally upgrading his Path of Exile 2 character to level 97, implying instead that Musk used account-sharing practices. Asmongold added, "I believe he is account-sharing for sure. Trying to have someone play your account and make people believe you're a genuine, actual gamer is ridiculous. It is embarrassing. “Extremely fucking lame.”

The Challenge Issued

To substantiate his claims, Asmongold offered a bold challenge: if Musk could demonstrate that he personally attained level 97 without assistance, Asmongold would commit to streaming exclusively on X (previously Twitter) for a year. He said: “If Elon Musk can prove that he played this account to 97, I will stream on X starting the day that he proves it for an entire year straight, every single stream that I do.”

Musk's Response and Escalation

In response, Musk revealed private direct communications between himself and Asmongold in an attempt to disprove the streamer's charges. This behavior prompted a community notice on X, emphasizing that posting private communications without consent is generally against platform norms. Asmongold responded by criticizing Musk's behavior, claiming that the disclosure was “absolutely uncalled for.”

I’m on hundreds of streams on YouTube/Twitch playing live with the world’s best players. 

No other way to say this, but, while Asmon IS good at caustic commentary and making fun of people, he is NOT good at video games 🤷‍♂️

Community Reactions

The gaming community has been abuzz with discussions about the feud. Many fans are disappointed, believing that such arguments undermine the collaborative and inclusive spirit of gaming. Observers argue that, regardless of the conclusion, the public aspect of this dispute may have a negative impact on both sides' reputations.
