Elon Musk Mercilessly Ridiculed by Gamers During Livestream

On the evening of Saturday, April 5th 2025, fascist centibillionaire tech mogul Elon Musk (alias Apartheid Clyde alias Elon Skum alias Putney Nope) hosted a livestream from his private jet in which he played the brand new role-playing game Path of Exile 2. He actually played fairly well I guess, considering or rather only because, he pays more skilled gamers to level-boost his characters.
Not even five minutes into the stream, a player asked in the chat if Musk could masturbate President Donald Trump “so he dies of a heart attack.”
While an appreciable number of sycophantic temporarily embarrassed millionaires logged on to offer Musk fawning adulation and moral support (despite the unequivocal fact that he doesn’t actually give a fuck about them) it didn’t take long before the board was swarmed with people eager to call him out.
Steadily, a dogpile ensued. While one player backhandedly complimented Musk for actually playng the game himself, others went straight for the jugular. A lot of the insults were broad in their scope. Gamers ranked on him for his lack of skill and cringe personality. Others repeatedly told him in all caps, “YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS AND YOU WILL DIE ALONE” and “YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL INSECURE AND IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.”
Another asked, “ELON HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOOK THIS DUMB AND UGLY WHY IS UR TESLA COMPANY FALLING APART AHAAHAAHAAH! WHAT HAPPENED BUDDY?”
Other attacks were more personal. One user posed as conservative influencer Ashley St. Claire, with whom Musk is caught up in a custody battle over their five-month-old infant, and asked him over and over to pay his child support. Another gamer chimed in, “You ruined the country just like you ruined all your marriages.”
When Elon Musk played the song “So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth” by Canadian indie pop singer Grimes, his estranged former partner with whom he has three children, a user repeatedly blasted, “STILL NOT OVER GRIMES SHE NEVER LOVED YOU.”
Other comments spoke to Musk’s particularly empty life. A couple of gamers remarked (correctly) that most of Elon’s X.com followers are bot accounts, while another, adopting the handle ELON_IS_A_PEDOPHILE told him, “YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND YOU WILL DIE ALONE.”
A couple others rubbed Elon’s nose in it that his daughter Vivian Wilson also says he sucks at video games and wants jack shit to do with him. Another spammed for trans rights, as it is well-documented that Elon rejected his daughter for seeking her proper gender affirmation.

Though Musk appeared to take the insults in stride, at the 1:18:35 mark, he bristled, “Lotta r****** in the chat.” From time to time, he would mute one of the trolls despite jocularly claiming early in the video to be “all about free speech.”
And as I write that last sentence, I find myself overcome with deja vu for some strange reason and I swear I can’t put my finger on it…
Nonetheless, they kept coming. Finally, after being defeated in the game one last time, he cut the stream off and deleted the content from X.com.
However, someone reuploaded the video to YouTube, where, as of this writing, it has accumulated 127,000 views. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the overwhelming majority of people who watched the video gleefully and mercilessly clowned on Elon Musk in the comments section for the exact same reasons as did the ones who viewed the original livestream.
It goes without saying that there is a valuable lesson in all this. A net worth of $350 billion dollars can do plenty of things for a person. Obviously, with that kind of money, neither food nor clothing nor hygiene nor medicine nor housing nor travel would ever be a problem. However, $350 billion will never buy parenting skills, interpersonal skills, business acumen, or video game skills, or for that matter, respect.
And in the event that someone merely bought their badge instead of putting in the miles to earn their spurs, the truth will out in no time flat. And in the age of the internet, that truth will never go away.
