After being accused of using a "booster" service to level up a character to 97 in Path of Exile 2, Ilon Musk has shared private messages with a streamer in an attempt to clear his name.

The controversy erupted following a 32-minute video released by Asmongold, in which he discussed allegations of "cheating" against Musk. Rumors suggest that Musk may have either purchased a high-level character or had someone else level it up for him in-game. Asmongold's video highlights the extensive time required to reach level 97, sparking discussions about how Musk could manage such a feat while juggling responsibilities at SpaceX, Tesla, and X.

Further fueling the debate, players noted that during Musk's streams, he appeared unfamiliar with the game mechanics, which seemed implausible for someone who supposedly leveled a character from zero to 97.

In response to Asmongold's video, Musk suggested that he, like the streamer, "needs to coordinate with the boss." He also implied that Asmongold consults with a team of editors before publishing content on the X network.

Asmongold clarified that he does not have a boss and that the editors he works with are under his employ. He emphasized that this is a standard practice among YouTube and Twitch streamers, allowing them to concentrate on content creation while delegating editing tasks.

According to Asmongold, Musk's remarks only underscore his lack of understanding of the behind-the-scenes processes in content creation.
