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, igniting a fiery debate within the gaming community.
The controversy erupted following a detailed 32-minute video by popular streamer Asmongold, who delved into the allegations of "cheating" against Musk. The video suggests that Musk might have either purchased a high-level character or employed someone to level it up in-game. Asmongold highlighted the enormous time commitment required to reach level 97, sparking discussions on how Musk could manage such a feat alongside his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X.
Further fueling the controversy, players noted Musk's apparent lack of game knowledge during his streams, which seemed inconsistent with someone who had supposedly taken a character from zero to level 97.

In response to Asmongold's video, Musk took to social media, humorously stating that he too "needs to coordinate with the boss." He also suggested that Asmongold has to consult with a team of editors before posting content on the X network.
Asmongold quickly clarified that he does not have a boss and that the editors he collaborates with are employed by him. He explained that this is a common practice among YouTube and Twitch streamers, enabling them to focus on content creation while delegating the editing process.
According to Asmongold, Musk's remarks only serve to highlight his lack of understanding about the behind-the-scenes processes of content creation.
