Elon Musk only wanted to break the American government for the memes, but now that Donald Trump’s insanity is affecting his bottom line, suddenly Musk is attacking Trump’s advisors. Musk has split with Trump on tariffs. The stock market crash and looming Trump Recession/Depression has sent Tesla’s stock price off a cliff, and the stock was already slumping hard because of all of the Tesla-divestiture movements. All of which to say, Musk was already in a terrible mood over the weekend when he tried to show gamers that he’s super-cool. He was trying to play Path of Exile 2 live on Twitter, and the gamers cyberbullied him mercilessly.
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. 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.
“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.
It’s like I keep saying… these people think that they can use fascism to force people to like them, and when they figure out that fascism doesn’t work that way, their whole world falls apart. America is being dismantled by some of the biggest losers in the world, some of the ugliest and dumbest morons ever, and all of those despicable people are desperate for cultural cachet. We’re all in hell, so it costs nothing to tell Elon Musk that he f–king sucks.
Elon Musk trying to prove his worth to a bunch of teenagers online gets destroyed by commenters as he live streamed Path of Exile 2 whispers. Commenters said “YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND WILL DIE ALONE” and “DIE DIE DIE” as he frantically tried to hide them, then lost his… pic.twitter.com/PLWF1ESv6f

Love that for him.
Same!
Lol grown ass man playing a video game got bullied into quitting. Shit is hilarious.
I say this every time but it’s amazing how much goodwill he’s squandered. I wonder if it was worth it to him. He single-handed killed the Tesla brand. The tariffs are going to be the final nail in the coffin. In addition to raising costs due to batteries and parts they get from other countries, retaliatory tariffs is going to further sink the brand. He better hope his MAGA base trade in their F-150s for cyber trucks because that might be his last hope.
Absolutely love this for that punk.
The gamergate bros have turned on him. That’s pretty much rock bottom.
You are 100% correct the most angry, aggrieved wannabe losers – trump, elmo, vance,bezos etc run the world.
Every bit of resistance counts!
I’d feel sorry for him if wasn’t such a terrible person.
I love the smell of Schadenfreude in the morning . . .
I feel like we as a whole are being really vicious and nasty to Musty but I fear we’re not being vicious enough. We can bully better guys.
We all really need to start thinking of the insults that will cut these losers the most, and how best we can get them in front of their eyes. It’s not like they ever have to interact with any but the safest audiences most of the time, hence this peabrained nazi being dumb enough to try and pull what he did. Did he think people would support his fragile ego?
Gamers can be vicious. There are no better shit talkers. That’s all they do when they are playing PvP with a chat. To the point that it can be incredibly toxic, especially to girls. I have no problem with him getting a dose of his own medicine on his own platform. I don’t feel sorry for people with private jets and billions of dollars.
I wonder if this was a shock to him? I do hope so. I don’t think he actually interacts with normal people much or has a clue what they really think. He’ll be surrounded by yes-men and creeps who probably do think he’s the coolest person on earth.
Anyway, he thought he bought himself a president. I wonder how that’s working out for him.
I think there either already is or about to be a *real* power struggle ramping up behind the scenes amongst Elon/his crypto bro humanist minions–Peter Navarro/the pro tariffs cohort and VP Vance/his “sponsor” Peter Schiff and their dancing monkeys.
It’s gonna be a free-for-all royal rumble and I see Trump getting overwhelmed and doing something REAL stupid (and THAT is saying something 🙄) to prove his independence from any of them.
Continue to buckle up.
There’s no way that Musk was shocked because he keeps getting ratioed on twitter about his gaming. (When someone posts a response and their post gets massively upvoted compared to the original.)
Musk loves beefing on twitter and even when he starts a skirmish about something else, his Path of Exile 2 lies are being thrown back at him. The makers of the Assassin’s Creed video game recently ratioed the f-k out of Elon.
I keep reading that one of the ways to defeat fascist dictatorships is to repeatedly humiliate the losers in charge. Make them the butt of all jokes. It helps in order to delegitimatize them. Thank you for your patriotism, gamers.
Yes. They understood the assignment. Patriots, all of them! Haha. But seriously, you’re correct and I hope we see a lot more of this. I had a hard time believing it was real at first, it was glorious.
Do I love they did this? Yes. Would I call them patriotic? No. I’m willing to bet these are the same people who chose not to vote and gave us Trump/Musk as a result.
Hahahahahahahahaha I love this so much
this is not even 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of what he deserves but it’s a step. Fuck off Elon.
Schadenfreude is really great. I was talking to a therapy client yesterday who is fearful of being embarrassed and was like, look no one has died yet of embarrassment and if someone was going to, it would have been Elon last night. You tripping in a target or accidentally dropping marinara on the floor doesn’t even compare. And we laughed. So Elon helped one person’s mental health yesterday.
probably the only person ever! so thanks for that
I saw a protest poster that said hatred reads red hat!!!! I was shocked. That meaning has been under our noses the whole time!!!
He was exposed immediately after he claimed to be ranked in the top 10 globally of PoE 2 because it takes so many hours of the day to grind to that level and a person of his age doesn’t have the lightning fast muscle twitch speed to compete in pvp. It’s like saying you’re #6 in the world at the 100 meter dash, it’s absurd.
Musk was an idiot to return to the scene of the crime and stream it. My God we’re living in the dumbest era.
I genuinely believe from watching his intro-gamer lack of facility that he didn’t know how to turn chat or whispers off or he would have. His tragically slow menu search was unbelievable. He was painfully noobtastic, absolutely amateur hour, completely at odds with his self-image and his claims to gaming prowess. How painfully slow he did everything made me cackle – such a giveaway. No hot keys, no map knowledge, absurdly stupid gear choices, skill choices, terrible movement, etc. I suspect he was just stuck having to pretend it didn’t bother him. I don’t think he even knows enough to know how incredibly bad he looks. You can’t fake some things – the gameplay experience and research and theorycrafting knowledge it takes to be even an average player is one of them. Quin69TV, who is well-versed in PoE2, did a hilarious takedown and pointed out game-specific stuff I would have missed since it’s not my game. Ngl I enjoyed tf out of it.
I hope none of my critique of FailBro sounds like a slight to people who are getting acclimated or choose to play casually. As a veteran gamer, I absolutely LOVE helping new and casual players get comfortable and get the tools/knowledge that will let them play the way they want. Gaming is personal and (I feel) should be done the way you derive the most pleasure. You don’t have to live by anyone else’s goals or metrics and we need to respect and support that and each other. Online communities can be great sources of connection, and I believe in them and try to support them.
I appreciate these details of his performance as a non-gamer! Kakistocracy of posers should be exposed and humiliated at every opportunity, and overconfident narcissists always end up lying too big, walking right into their self-owns.
I really enjoyed this gaming-specific takedown. And I love that he was unable to turn off the chat and not see the commentary!
Thank you, gamers isn’t something I thought I would ever say, but THANK YOU. Please turn the toxic part of the gaming culture typically directed at attacking women towards attacking these fascists man babies ALL THE TIME. Elon is going bankrupt before our eyes. He may end up in El Salvador before all things are said and done. He really backed the wrong candidate with his whole chest and mango destroys everything he comes in contact with eventually.
Well done, gamers. Everyone should be calling out this bullshit. These billionaires are evil and greedy. They have the option of saving the planet and they choose greed. Every time. They are destructive and self-centered. And they have been exploiting us for years and years.
#TaxTheRich
Good.
I love this for Elon. Funny how the vilest fiends have the thinnest skin.
Hey Muskrat! I see your gaming skillz are equal to how you run your businesses — non-existent! You’re running them right into the ground! Piss off Leon, and pay your effing child support while you’re at it you deadbeat a-hole!
I love that someone was calling Elon a pedophile, albeit misspelled. Learning your lesson on why you shouldn’t call someone that, eh? (Hah, like he learns anything.)
Yeah the least this genius (?) deserves is to be ridiculed until his head and ego explodes. In reality, he deserves so much worse.
I’m going to thread jack, but not really because I don’t know which nut job is the true president. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH THESE FUCKING TARIFFS? This is insane. The stocks yo-yo up and down with the word of one man. He must be loving it, feeling like Caesar or Caligula. The ultimate ego trip–destroying the world economy one day and reviving it the next. It’s like a serial killer toying with his victims. He’s playing with people’s lives and he LOVES it. How I long for the “boring” presidents like Presidents Biden and Obama–keeping the world on an even keel and not throwing hand grenades into the mix.
He’s doing it to put more money in his and his oligarch army’s pockets. You drive the value of stocks, businesses, real estate, etc. down and the rich snap up bargains. When the markets come back up Trump takes all the credit and gets him through the mid-terms.
The tariff threats cause chaos in the markets. His creeper billionaire buddies spend a million dollars a plate to eat well done steak and ketchup dinners with the tangerine terror and insider trade to further strip 99% of us of what little wealth we have left. The adults in the room realize that the Americans living paycheck to paycheck will be undone by tariffs. Until about a third of his supporters are homeless, they will support him until the bitter end, but when the hardcores turn, chaos will reign. The 1% should also be unnerved by mango’s Evangelical/nutjob supporters. They are creepy. When their energy gets redirected to protecting their own interests instead of punching down at women, people of color and the LBGTQ community, the Republicans will never set foot in office anywhere except the darkest red areas.
I think the sheer amount of chaos they’re creating has two main purposes:
1.) Benefits billionaires by driving down prices and letting them buy up before driving things up again. We’ll see the same thing in businesses as they crash when the full effects are felt.
2.) Destabilize Western markets as a whole – and likely, by proxy, China’s. I’ve no doubt Putin is looking on with glee.
Hahaaaaaa what a loser. 🫵🤣
It’s what happens when you successfully, deliberately marginalise the most disadvantaged. Just read Listen, Liberal by Thomas Frank to understand who started it (hint: Clinton administration) and continued it (hint: Obama loving Wall St and the elite).
I love the US; I really do. I’m Australian. You guys over there have no real mainstream social democratic political movement; that’s what happened.
He was playing on the tutorial! He got killed by a tutorial boss 😭😂😂
My kid was watching, I could hear his friends over his headset shrieking with laughter.
