The tension between Elon Musk and renowned streamer Asmongold turned into a debate that quickly spread across social media. It all started when Musk raised suspicion in the gaming community due to the level he claimed to have reached in Path of Exile 2. This led Asmongold to challenge Musk and ask him to prove the veracity of his claims. However, events took an even more interesting turn; Musk responded to this challenge in an unexpected way, revealing his private messages with Asmongold.
Tension between Elon Musk and Asmongold
In the messages Musk shared, his statements about the editors managing Asmongold’s YouTube channel drew attention. Musk implied that the publisher is not actually ‘independent’, that his team manages his content and influences his decisions. However, Asmongold and many social media users did not find this comment logical. It is quite natural for publishers to have a video editing team, and Musk’s presentation of this as a ‘disclosure’ was ridiculed on social media.
Following Musk’s post, Asmongold reacted to the disclosure of his private messages and expressed his discomfort with the situation by saying ‘This was really unnecessary’ on X (formerly Twitter).
Musk’s statements that Asmongold was ‘not a good player’ and sharing his private messages drew great reaction on social media. Many users expressed their scepticism about Musk’s competence in the gaming world, while others criticised his fixation on such a small issue.
After the incident, Asmongold’s verification badge on the X platform disappeared for a short time, but then came back. This situation brought a new debate criticising Musk’s authority over the platform. Many users claimed that Musk showed Asmongold a big stick and cut a ‘racute’.
