Ilon Musk 'leaked' Asmongold streamer's private messages after being exposed by gamers

Elon Musk, after facing accusations of using a "boosting" service to reach level 97 with a character in Path of Exile 2, publicly 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 investment required to reach level 97, questioning how Musk could manage his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while simultaneously achieving this in-game milestone. Viewers also noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his streams, contradicting the skill level expected of someone who had allegedly leveled a character to 97.

Musk responded to Asmongold's video, claiming 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 argued that Musk's comment revealed a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes processes of content creation.
