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, 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 balance his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X with such a gaming endeavor. Further fueling speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his streaming sessions, contradicting the expertise expected of someone who had supposedly leveled a character to 97.

Musk responded to Asmongold's video, claiming he too "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold consults a team of editors before posting on X. Asmongold countered that he is his own boss and employs editors, a standard practice among YouTube and Twitch streamers to streamline content creation. Asmongold argued that Musk's comment demonstrated a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes processes of content creation.
