In recent days, Elon Musk’s gaming skills have come under intense scrutiny, culminating in a surprising public clash with popular streamer Asmongold.

It all started when Musk streamed gameplay of Path of Exile 2, showcasing his high-level character. Despite reaching level 95 in hardcore mode, viewers expressed skepticism about his genuine skills, suspecting possible account sharing or boosting. As a response, Asmongold publicly challenged Musk to verify his account’s legitimacy and stated bluntly, “Did Elon Musk play this account to level 97? The answer is very simple: no.”

Musk did not appreciate the challenge and chose to intensify the conflict by unfollowing Asmongold on X and leaking private messages where Asmongold mentioned that others manage his YouTube account. In response, Musk remarked that Asmongold isn’t truly independent and requires permission to act.

Despite the back-and-forth, Musk appeared less favorable in the online community’s view, igniting discussions about why he seemed to be insecure about gaming prowess and the implications of sharing private messages in a quest to maintain a cool image.

As this unusual saga continues, it raises questions about the motives behind revealing personal communications and whether Musk is genuinely invested in proving his gaming skills. For many, this incident is a perfect example of how social media can amplify minor disputes into noteworthy online drama.
