Elon Musk rage quits gaming livestream after players troll him relentlessly: ‘You ruined the country'
Elon Musk's gaming livestream abruptly ended after he was mercilessly trolled by other players in the comments.
Musk went live as part of an 'airborne continuity test' for his Starlink satellite system as he recorded himself playing Path of Exile 2 on his private over the weekend.
The world's richest man, who often brags about his gaming prowess, faced a slew of taunts after he was defeated by the video game's first boss known as the Bloated Miller.
Musk remained stony-faced and largely speechless for about 90 minutes as he received a tirade of death threats, jabs at his appearance and slights over his government-slashing agenda through DOGE before he finally claimed he 'lost connection.'
'You have no real friends and will die alone,' wrote one gamer under the tag @Elon_is_a_pedophile.
'You ruined the country just like you ruined all your marriages,' added another gamer dubbed @Elon_Musk_is_pathetic.
Musk broke his silence when a gamer said he was 'dumb and ugly' and said his electric vehicle company Tesla was 'falling apart.'
'There are a lot of r*****s in this chat,' he said, using a slur he repeatedly posts on X.
At one point, Musk listened to So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth, the 2020 hit by his ex-partner and mother of three of his 13 children, Grimes.
'Elon, it's me,' one person wrote as the song faded out.
'Ashley St. Claire,' they added, claiming they were the influencer who in February revealed she had given birth to the world's richest man's latest child.
'I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access just for this. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon,' they added.
Another repeatedly posted: 'I am your lost son, look at me, father Elon.'
After a final tirade of 'die, die, die,' Musk said: 'Oh, we lost connection.' His character was killed in the game and the stream was ended. The stream was later deleted from his X account before being uploaded to YouTube.
Back in the real world, Musk is embroiled in a feud with another of Donald Trump's advisers and close confidants: Peter Navarro.
The pair have exchanged blows over Trump's tariff policies that have roiled stock markets and disturbed investors after his 'Liberation Day' announcement last Wednesday.
On Monday, Navarro sought to dismiss Musk's opposition to heavy tariffs on Chinese goods by describing Tesla as a 'car assembler' reliant on foreign parts rather than a manufacturer even though Tesla vehicles use significant portions of American-made parts.
Responding on X, Musk said: 'Navarro is truly a moron. What he says here is demonstrably false.'
He later added that Tesla 'has the most American-made cars' of any automaker and described Navarro as 'dumber than a sack of bricks.'
When asked about the spat, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt downplayed their insults, and stated: 'Boys will be boys, and we will let their public sparring continue.'

Antiques Roadshow guests 'not allowed' to do one thing which could ruin the show
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Antiques Roadshow participant was taken aback by a strict rule on set, and the valuations of her items also left her surprised. The moment occurred during the filming of the American version of the popular BBC programme. Journalist Jennifer Kopf had the opportunity to participate in the forthcoming series filmed at Grant's Farm in St. Louis. The Country Living writer brought along a framed silhouette and blue glass lamps, keen to learn their value. She explained that depending on the category of your item, you end up consulting with an expert appraiser from that field in a designated area 'spread out all across the grounds'. To prevent any spoilers from leaking, she disclosed that there was one rule she had to adhere to while on set. Jennifer penned for the magazine: "Set up in between were three different filming 'studios' with those famous tables arranged for the big-time appraisals." (Image: Anna Gordon/BBC/PA Wire) I wasn't allowed to tape anything happening on set so as not to take away anything from the big reveals come air time. "Unfortunately, her items didn't fetch the price she had hoped for, with her framed silhouette fetching a modest $25 to $ what really stung was the disappointing valuation of the lamps. Jennifer admitted: "$15 a piece. I have to admit, this hurt a little. But I still love my lamps and will find a perfect spot for them soon". (Image: BBC) This follows another Antiques Roadshow episode where a guest was left astounded after a family ring, long assumed to be inexpensive costume jewellery, turned out to be rare and valuable. An emerald piece has fetched a price far beyond its anticipated value. The astonishing discovery was made during an episode first aired in October 2022 and rebroadcast on Sunday, 15 June. Expert John Benjamin left one family utterly gobsmacked. The guests, two cousins, brought along a trove of inherited heirlooms passed down through the generations. Among the items were a gold novelty pencil, a decorative brooch featuring a fly on a flower, and the green stone ring that became the focus of attention. Discussing the provenance of the pieces, the guests disclosed that many belonged to their great-great-great grandmother, born in 1858. One item, a pencil shaped like a mountaineer's ice pick, bore the names of French mountains. The most startling revelation concerned the green stone ring, which the family had always believed to be costume jewellery. Benjamin valued the ring at a staggering £4,000. In total, the collection was estimated to fetch around £7,000 at auction. Antiques Roadshow can be viewed on BBC One and iPlayer.
