Elon Musk, after facing accusations of using a "booster" service to rapidly level a Path of Exile 2 character to level 97, 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 this with his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X.
Further fueling speculation, viewers noted Musk's apparent inexperience during his Path of Exile 2 streams, a stark contrast to the skill expected of someone who had allegedly leveled a character to 97.

Musk responded to Asmongold's video, claiming he too "needs to coordinate with the boss," and suggesting Asmongold similarly consults a team of editors before posting to 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 interpreted Musk's comment as revealing a lack of understanding regarding the behind-the-scenes work involved in content creation.
