Ilon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur behind SpaceX, Tesla, and X, found himself at the center of controversy after being accused of using a "booster" service to level up his character in Path of Exile 2 to an impressive level 97. The allegations surfaced following a 32-minute video by popular streamer Asmongold, who delved into the possibility of Musk either purchasing a high-level character or having someone else level it up for him.

The video highlighted the significant time investment required to reach such a high level, raising questions about how Musk could manage his responsibilities across multiple high-profile companies while also dedicating the necessary time to level up a character in the game. Players and viewers alike 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.

In response to Asmongold's video, Musk took to social media to defend himself, humorously suggesting that he too "needs to coordinate with the boss." He also implied that Asmongold had to consult with a team of editors before posting content on the X network. Asmongold clarified that he does not have a boss and that the editors he works with are part of his team, a standard practice among many content creators on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. This setup allows streamers to focus on content creation while delegating editing tasks.

Asmongold further stated that Musk's comments only underscored a lack of understanding about the behind-the-scenes processes of content creation. The exchange between Musk and Asmongold has sparked a broader discussion about the ethics of using boosting services in gaming and the transparency of content creation in the streaming community.
