After being accused of using a "booster" service to level up a character in Path of Exile 2 to 97, Ilon Musk shared private messages with a streamer, sparking a heated debate within the gaming community.
The controversy erupted following a 32-minute video released by Asmongold, who delved into allegations of "cheating" by Musk. Speculations suggest that Musk might have either purchased a high-level character or employed someone to level it up in-game. Asmongold's video highlights the substantial time investment required to reach level 97, prompting questions about how Musk manages his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while dedicating time to such an intensive gaming endeavor.
Further scrutiny came from the gaming community when it was noted that during Musk's streams, he appeared unfamiliar with the game mechanics, which seemed incongruous for someone who supposedly advanced a character from zero to level 97.

Musk addressed Asmongold's video by suggesting that he, too, "needs to coordinate with the boss." He further claimed that Asmongold consults with a team of editors before publishing content on the X network.
In response, Asmongold clarified that he does not have a boss and that the editors he works with are employed by him. He explained that this is a standard practice among many YouTube and Twitch streamers, enabling them to focus on content creation while delegating editing tasks.
Asmongold emphasized that Musk's comments only highlight his lack of understanding about the behind-the-scenes processes of content creation.
