  • Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamer
  • 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.

He was showing off Starlink wifi while on a plane. Isn't it possible his connection got dropped? Or at least, if you rage quit doesn't there have to be some rage?

In the immortal words of Gonzalo Lira in his "debate" with Lazerpig and Destiny:

The guy who rage quits is the guy who loses

Lazerpig got Lira to ragequit the debate, and Lira ended up dying in a Ukranian prison after being arrested by security services.

Fuck this Nazi and fuck PoE2 and the company behind it for giving him a platform. Give him no peace until he gets out of our government, and until he pays back all the money his evil family stole during Apartheid.

Poor Elon I have zero compassion for you just like you have zero compassion for the 10s of thousands you fired.

You would delight in watching him nearly cry for being insulted by Tim Walz about all the money this fuck has lost because of his behavior.

“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

Ok, that is really funny.

Is it really "cyberbullying" against Musk if Musk first negatively affected the lives and livelihoods of, say, millions of people?

That dude should not have a moment of peace and quiet until he stops ruining peoples lives.

[–] [email protected] 120 points 1 month ago (16 children)

Until he pays the karmic debt. He already has a lifetime to pay for his cruelty.

Not even then, but it's not like that's apt to happen anyways.

Basically he chose to undergo some exposure therapy that probably felt an awful lot like the bullying he experienced as a kid.

It's tragic he never got a chance to grow up and mature into a healthy and balanced individual. Instead, he appears to have institutionalized himself into the perpetual social pariah.

Fuck him. He could be better. He has every single resource anyone could ever want or need (wouldn't be surprised if he even had personal nukes at this point), but instead of finding a path toward healing, he just continues to do dumb shit like flagellating himself with hostile gamers to fuel his internal rage and hatred.

How long until he goes on the news crying about them being paid puppets? Or maybe his bitch mom will have to go on tv try demand people stop making fun of her little cupcake again.

Usually I'd feel pity for someone being cyberbullied, but Elon told me that's a sign of weakness, so fuck him.

Gamers using their powers of cyberbullying for good.

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.

Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers YouTube “There’s a lot of r-----s in the chat,” said Musk at one point, using the r-word slur while a user named HC_John_Wick repeatedly spammed “ELON HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOOK THIS DUMB AND UGLY WHY IS UR TESLA COMPANY FALLING APART AHAAHAAHAAH! 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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

It's better than that. The techno he was listening to was his ex, Grimes. Issues?

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But then how would he ego stroke to complete strangers then?

Bro, I ALMOST feel bad since I know he read those and they definitely cut deep considering his shitty undeveloped personality.

Then I remembered what a POS he is and I think he deserves worse all of a sudden.

I think the Germans have a word for it that I couldn't spell to save my life.

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

I see the gamers still have the best disses. Nice.
