Asmongold Challenges Elon Musk

Twitch streamer Asmongold has challenged Elon Musk to prove he reached level 97 in Path of Exile 2 without any assistance. Asmongold believes Musk was likely boosted by another player and offers a wager: if Musk can provide evidence of his solo achievement, Asmongold will stream on X (formerly Twitter) for a year. This challenge has sparked controversy in the gaming community, with many questioning Musk’s claims.

Asmongold insists Musk didn’t achieve the feat independently, saying, "Elon Musk didn’t reach level 97 on his own. There’s no doubt about it." He demands Musk prove his skills authentically, emphasizing the importance of genuine accomplishment. If Musk succeeds, Asmongold will dedicate a year to streaming on X while continuing to multi-stream on Twitch.

ENTERTAINMENT
Beast Games Falls Off Amazon Prime’s #1 Spot

MrBeast’s Beast Games, a high-budget Prime Video series, has lost its top spot to the newly released crime drama, On Call. Beast Games had been dominating the platform’s number one position, but with its weekly episode release schedule, it has been overtaken by the binge-worthy series. On Call, featuring a veteran officer and rookie partner in Long Beach, has quickly gained popularity, becoming the new leader on Prime Video.

Despite Beast Games’ strong following, On Call’s fast-paced storytelling and accessible episodes have drawn more viewers. While Beast Games continues to build momentum with new weekly releases, On Call offers a complete season to binge, giving it a competitive edge.

Cinnabrit Threatens Legal Action Against Gambling Ad Clips

Cinnabrit is threatening legal action after unauthorized gambling ads appeared on her stream clips. Recently, a clip featuring Cinna was shared on Twitter with a Rainbet logo, which she condemned as a violation of her content. Cinna stated she was “contacting her lawyers” due to the use of her clips for misleading gambling promotions.

This isn’t the first time streamers have threatened legal action against such practices. Valkyrae also took a similar stance in late 2024, highlighting the issue of out-of-context clips with unauthorized gambling logos.

TikTok ‘Clone’ Rises Up App Store as US Ban Looms

Rednote, often referred to as a “TikTok clone,” has surged in popularity as TikTok faces a potential ban in the US. Originally launched as a shopping platform in 2013, Rednote has since evolved into a social media and e-commerce app similar to Instagram. With a strong focus on beauty, fashion, and influencer content, the app has quickly become the top choice for users looking for an alternative.

As TikTok prepares for potential removal from app stores on January 19, 2025, Rednote has risen to the top of the US App Store charts. Backed by Chinese tech giants like Tencent and Alibaba, Rednote is positioned as a leading competitor, offering a familiar yet distinct social media experience.
