    Transcript:

    Elon Musk rage quit a livestream of the video game Path of Exile 2 on Saturday night after repeatedly dying while also being ruthlessly cyberbullied in the chat.

    Path of Exile 2 is one of Musk’s favorite games—so much so that he once claimed to be one of the world’s top players in an attempt to boost his gamer cred, before later backtracking and admitting that he had been secretly paying people to level up his account to make him appear more talented at it than he was.

    Nevertheless, while attempting to show off Starlink’s in-flight WiFi capabilities while onboard his private jet over the weekend, Musk streamed himself playing some PoE2 on the hardest difficulty, which was broadcast live on X.

    The DOGE chief was, predictably, terrible at the game, but that was the least of his problems—Less than five minutes into the stream, a player logged on and asked Musk if he could “please jerk off mr trump so he dies of a heart attack.” It only got worse from there.

    For the next hour and a half, Musk sat in stony-faced silence and blasted techno music while dozens of users with names such as ELON_IS_A_PEEDOPHILE and ELON_MUSK_IS_PATHETIC repeatedly spammed the chat to tell him “YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS AND YOU WILL DIE ALONE” and “YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL INSECURE AND IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.”

    Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers YouTube “Elon. It’s me, Ashley St. Claire. I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon,” said an account pretending to be the conservative influencer currently locked in a custody battle with Musk over their five-month-old child, while another said his estranged daughter Vivian “was right” about him being terrible at video games.

    Some streamers attempted to help Musk out by trying to show him how to mute the chat function, while others encouraged people to “Buy TSLA” and thanked him for his work with Starlink and DOGE, but they were drowned out by a cavalcade of abuse from gamers relished the opportunity to give the billionaire a piece of their mind.

WHAT HAPPENED BUDDY?”

    But aside from muting a couple of the loudest trolls after almost an hour of sustained abuse, Musk did little to stop the army of trolls from relentlessly mocking him.

    Eventually, he vanished when his WiFi connection abruptly cut out and ended the stream, which he later deleted from X but was swiftly reuploaded onto YouTube.

      Not all heroes wear capes. Someone buy them a fucking drink, I’m going to be laughing about that alone for years.

      This is hilarious mainly because all he had to do was type /DND and he could have stopped all of this, which anyone who had actually played the game for any substantial amount would know, but of course he doesn’t, because he just paid people to play it for him.

      Oh my god, Musk is J.P. from Grandma’s Boy. I can’t un-see it now.

      That video is really funny and sad. He looks like he’s about to cry. I’m not sure he was reading at a certain point because people were trying to help him. He deserves all of the hate.

        It is sad, because so obvious that he wants to accepted, and liked.

        All he’d have to do is help poor people. Kid’s school lunches, scholarships, playgrounds, libraries, low cost subsidized housing, cheap pharmaceuticals, you name it.

        But no, “Empathy is Weakness,” Nazi salutes, fucking up grandma’s Social Security, destroying the Dept. of Education, putting thousands of government workers out of jobs.

        Way to go, psychopath.

      Of course, he used the r slur. Literally beyond pathetic. The only way to lash out he had was to throw a slur out there. It did nothing to detract from how utterly embarrassing the entire thing was.
