In a recent controversy surrounding Path of Exile 2, Ilon Musk has been accused of using a "booster" service to elevate his character to level 97. The allegations surfaced after popular streamer Asmongold released a detailed 32-minute video discussing the possibility of Musk "cheating" by either purchasing a high-level character or having it leveled by someone else. Asmongold highlighted the significant time commitment required to reach such a high level, questioning how Musk could manage this alongside his responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X.

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

Responding to Asmongold's video, Musk took to social media to defend himself, suggesting that Asmongold also has to coordinate with a "boss" and 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 any editors he works with are employed by him, a common practice among content creators on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. This setup allows streamers to focus on content creation while leaving the editing to professionals.

Asmongold emphasized that Musk's comments reveal a lack of understanding about the behind-the-scenes processes of content creation, adding another layer to the ongoing debate about Musk's involvement in Path of Exile 2 and his understanding of the gaming community's norms and practices.
