Elon Musk's gaming scandal deepens as X owner attempts to silence streamer Asmongold for blowing the whistle

Elon Musk's credibility as a self-proclaimed world-class gamer is under scrutiny after he clashed with popular Twitch streamer Asmongold, who challenged him to prove his skills in exchange for streaming exclusively on X for a year.

Instead of seizing the opportunity to lure Asmongold’s 3.6 million followers to his platform, Musk leaked private messages and stripped the streamer of his verification badge, which allows ad revenue sharing.

The move comes as Musk continues efforts to attract Twitch creators to X, including discrediting Amazon’s platform over adult content—shortly before permitting it on X.

“Asmon behaves like a maverick ‘independent’, but in reality has to ask his boss for permission before he can do anything. He is not his own man,” Musk posted in a series of tweets that included the leaked messages. Musk's posts were slapped with Community Notes for spreading disinformation.

I don't get the whole gaming thing but Eloon sounds like is just as insecure as the orange twit.

He might be Robert Downey Jr before he got sober though.
Seriously, this man has the maturity of a 10 year old.
