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

After being accused of using a "booster" service to level up a character in Path of Exile 2 to level 97, Elon Musk shared private messages with a streamer to address the controversy.

The incident arose following a 32-minute video by Asmongold, where he commented on allegations of "cheating" by Musk. The video suggests that Musk might have purchased a high-level character or had someone else level it up in-game. Asmongold highlighted that reaching level 97 requires a significant time commitment, raising questions about how Musk manages his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X while also playing the game extensively.

Players also noted that during Musk's streams, he appeared unfamiliar with the game mechanics, which seemed inconsistent with someone who had leveled a character from zero to 97.

Musk responded to Asmongold's video by suggesting that Asmongold also "needs to coordinate with the boss." He further implied that Asmongold consults with a team of editors before posting content on the X network.

Asmongold countered by clarifying that he does not have a boss and that any editors he works with are under his employ. This practice is standard among many YouTube and Twitch streamers, allowing them to concentrate on content creation while delegating editing tasks.

According to Asmongold, Musk's remarks only underscored his lack of understanding of the behind-the-scenes processes in content creation.
