Its impossible to beat the players in Asia if you dont, as they do!
Musk styles himself as a master gamer, its a big part of his personality and personal brand.
The use of boosted characters in games likeDiabloandPoE 2isnt unheard of, but it is controversial.
NikoWrex asked if Musk intended to take credit for leveling a character to max.
No, Musk said.
The top accounts in Diablo or PoE require multiple people playing the account to win the leveling race.
Instead,he chose to beefwith prominent gaming streamers like Asmongold when they called him out.
NikoWrex asked about the fight with Asmongold.
Musk unfollowed the streamer on X, pulled his blue check, and leaked his DMs without his permission.
He seemed to imply that Asmongold wasnt his own person because he worked with editors.
Musk then touted several of his achievements inDiablo 4,even namechecking one that Grimes said she witnessed firsthand.
At the end of the conversation, Musk said he would consider allowing Asmongold to stream a SpaceX launch.
But he has to admit that I am a living god of video games.
While biting his lip.
