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

        I’m not as familiar with the whole theology involved, but still am pretty sure he’ll have to weather a few cycles as whatever multi-legged miniature vermin that insects eat before he can break back into the mammalian strata. He can’t possibly be acting like such a gigantic piece of shit accidentally, can he?

          He’s always been an asshole, but his reported ketamine addiction compounds with his Twitter addiction. The ketamine allows his brain to reform pathways and Twitter boxes him into a self-made echo chamber. Combined this is the perfect recipe for a god complex, and boy does that prediction fit the observed outcome.

            Huh, TIL that he was into K. I thought that he was just an oddball because of his weird upbringing and fuckwad entitled bourgeois attitude.

                Prescription or no, it’s not healthy to dive into Twitter so heavily right after doing psychedelics - you’re retraining your brain on the shittiest content available.

        To be fair, it would take me about 16,000 years at an average wage to make a billion dollars. Since Musky has more than one billion years. With the exchange rate of 16,000 years per billion. Musky is going to have a fucking ton of life times to pay his karmic debt.

    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.

      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.

      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.

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

      Yes. And it is still harmful. But there is no good solution here. He should be able to play a mostly single player game in some isolation from the public. (I.e. put DND on and be “fine” but hated, possibly the game should have made that easier for streamers being flooded by spam.)

      That being said the harm being done in America is incredibly impactful and must be stopped at high cost.

        He could have played alone. HE DECIDED to steam himself publicly, after spending the last two months actively trying to destroy those people’s futures. All for personal gain. He does not deserve to know a moment of peace whenever he chooses to show his face publicly after what he’s done.

      Notice that despite the awesome trolling, it wasn’t until someone called him dumb and ugly that it elicited a response from him. Calling him out for being a piece of shit doesn’t work, denigrating the attributes he built a superiority complex on…ohhh fuck yeah that shit burns him real good.

    Reminder: He died to a Tutorial Boss in a game he tried to use a boosted account in to fake being one of the top players only for the devs to go “Wait, aren’t you a top Diablo IV player? Either you have the time management skills of a God and are the top player in multiple games, or you’re bullshitting… and guess what’s the winning one.”

    The richest guy in the world, and he is so horny for any love and respect that the smell of desperation fills any room he is in. You can even see it anytime he makes a media appearance. The guy actually exudes a breath-taking level of anti-charisma. He’s truly revolting to anyone who sees him.

    All that money, and he has to rent wombs to manufature his DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields because no woman will go near him. Ive heard his dick doesn’t work anyway, due to a botched wiener enlargement surgery.

    So he thinks the gamers are his peeps, and they’ll love him, right? Nah, all those great toys, and still none of the neighborhood kids want to play with him, because he’s so fucking wierd.

    It makes me so happy to see him demonstrating in real time, the old saying “Money can’t buy happiness.”

      Well if it was just that he was weird he could probably find a real friend or two. Hell I know a ton of just god awful people who still have folks who wanna hang with them.

      It’s that there’s no mutual benefit to knowing or liking him at all. Even your typical maga shitdick has friends who like them but Muskrats only here for clout and that’s the kinda guy who turns on you for a quick part on the back from someone who hasn’t told them theyre special today.

        True, and I actually like, and even prefer, people that others think are weird. Weird can be really fun and entertaining.

        But this is a different kind of weird, its Creepy Weird. Like you just know this guy has some incredibly shocking and revolting kinks, beyond your wildest imagination.

        Dude unfortunately has no problem throwing a match over his shoulder when leaving the kitchen or even to return later to do so.

        I think, everybody living in former Eastern block countries, in former East Germany, in former Germany in the 1930s/40s has a story of someone being gone after telling the wrong joke a little too loud. Sometimes they came back but they were different. Often they didn’t. You do not know where that regime will be in three years, using opsec now probably isn’t a bad idea in hindsight.

          You should be careful to tackle the gaming community. There are many nerds and script kiddies who are well connected and who have little troubles to make your life less happy. Something which did not exist in the Eastern block, and especially not in Eastern Germany - remember: it wasn’t Eastern Germany where the revolts started against the regime! They just jumped on the train. Not few Eastern Germans are dreaming nowadays to have something like the German Democratic Republic back.

          The hard part is finding an acceptable balance between good OPSEC but not pre-emptive compliance.

    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 so ? No drugs, no nazism, doesn’t take a salary (more money for rest of us), and is only focused on the job, no drama, has more empathy and compassion than Felon Musk, doesn’t care for bribes. Doesn’t wear a costume. Seems OK to me.

              When AI eventually gets genuinely I, I’d bet it could be reasoned with.

              In fact, since it would likely be unbound by our biological emotions and short-sighted instincts, it would probably think longer term than the current crop of utter psychopaths running the show.

              I mean, that’s a loss for capitalism right there. They put a machine smarter than they are in charge, they’re in for a rude awakening I reckon.
