I do not condone bullying of any kind.

I'll condone this twice as hard on your behalf

 

[nial]

Pour one out for XXL

 

[Hugare]

Sorry but is that comedy? Free speech and all that but comedy?

I'm with you.

But the one claiming to be Ashley St. Claire was really funny, not gonna lie

 

[lughnasadh123]

Might be a sizeable chunk of people with a lot of free time on their hands thanks to him and a very large axe to grind. Even the Grinch would give this guy a wedgie.

 

[L*][*N*K]

What a turd of a human being

Autistic behavior

I thought he already confirmed he was autistic.

 

[LegendOfKage]

Elon Musk famously dissed that one diver as a "pedo guy" because he wouldn't let Elon's (untested and made in a few days) "submarine" "help" in a rescue effort that was already underway. That remark (which was patently false BTW, his wife was 30+ at the time) saw many more eyeballs than this stream ever will. So, karma, of sorts.

This is missing context. Musk was an ass for his response, but the diver was an ass to Musk first. The correct response to Musk would have been to respectfully decline his offer of a free submersible vehicle to aid in the rescue. If I'm remembering correctly, instead the diver insulted musk, called his offer a PR stunt, and said something like "I'll tell you where he can stick his submarine." Needlessly antagonistic and unprofessional. Musk was stupid in how he handled the situation, though, as he often is.

instead the diver insulted musk, called his offer a PR stunt

What else was it, other than a PR stunt? The rescue effort was already underway, the last thing one needa at that point is an egoistic (and very, very insecure) billionaire with his untested solution.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I thought he already confirmed he was autistic.

I've had many people think that I'm autistic and I might be which might explain why I say a lot of stupid shit sometimes. Elon Musk is pretty much the king of saying stupid shit.

 

[Idleyes]

He's alienated all the people who originally loved him - the treehuggers boasting about their Teslas, the gamers who thought he was vindication that spending hours gaming can make you a success in the real world and the share investors who thought he was a business genius. He needs to find his new crowd, but they won't be online most likely.

Why the fuck do Tesla drivers gotta be labeled treehuggers? I copped mine years ago 'cause it only adds $75 to my electric bill each month for my commute , way better than that fucking $175 on gas. Miss me with that treehugger bullshit.

 

[El Muerto]

 

[LimanimaPT]

Clearly these are anti-American gamers, Elon Musk is one of the greatest Americans around at the moment and all these people are just jealous of his capabilities and genius.




/s

Not anti america. Anti musk and trump, that's a whole different thing.

But they are probably just Americans that lost their jobs.

 

[Js562]

Elon seems cool. That's the Internet for you. Shit talking can't be stopped . Let it keep going

 

[UltimaKilo]

Wait, this was not rage quitting… he lost connection a couple of times. WTF OP? Big misleading clickbait thread title.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

That was a rage quit? Looks like he lost connection for a bit got it back and then dropped out of his live.

I guess the investors reminded him to get back to work.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Elon seems cool.

In the beginning of 1931 an American Journalist Dorothy Thompson interviewed Hitler. This was a man on the raise that captivated millions. This is what she wrote:

"inconsequent and voluble, ill-poised, insecure," and "the very prototype of the Little Man"

America's simping for billionaires that destroy the fabric of society is pathetic.

 

[Silver Wattle]

It's lost connection, he is on a plane using starlink, it's not exactly perfect for gaming.

Also condoning this kind of toxicity just because you dislike the person is exactly why people view gaming in general as toxic.

 

[Boss Mog]

Apparently it's fake news, he just lost connection. I bet he doesn't even read the comments while he's playing. Those "hilarious" comments aren't even funny in the least, just the sad, pathetic insults of degenerate losers. The fact that the OP finds it "hilarious" and is posting a story from the daily beast makes me think he is one of them.

 

[Aenima]

I watched the end part of the stream, he didnt rage quited because he was bullied, he could not give a fuck about what the chat was saying. He streamed for 2 hours always with hate spam on the chat, he just added some spammers to the ignore list to try reduce the spam, but it never stoped.

As some ppl noticed, he was on a plane, and the stream was part of a test he was doing using the Starlink connection. Near the end of the stream he started having connection issues with big lag spikes and stream disconections. He stoped streaming at this point, not because any bullies.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Alright, folks, listen up—people are out there, they're saying Elon Musk rage quit some game, okay? Wrong! Totally wrong! I know Elon—great guy, fantastic guy, a real winner, like me, the best, nobody wins better than me. They're calling it a rage quit—fake news, folks, total fake news, the fakest! He didn't quit, he was just, you know, making a big move, a tremendous move, probably to go make a rocket or something unbelievable, something yuge! These haters, these losers, they don't get it—sad! Elon's got the greatest mind, the best, doesn't rage, doesn't quit—just pure, beautiful genius, folks, believe me, bigly!

Why am I reading this in a potential Truth Social AI text-to-speech voice...

 

[BizarroPete]

I get he's diagnosed with autism and can say some awkward stuff but you need to watch yourself as well.

From what I've read, he wasn't actually diagnosed with autism, he just said he is autistic.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Wait, this was not rage quitting… he lost connection a couple of times. WTF OP? Big misleading clickbait thread title.

 

[ShadowNinja]

What a bunch of losers.

*cucks

 

[Zathalus]

That some trolling isn't going to really affect him.

It's Elon. We all know it is going to affect him.

 

[Dacvak]

You'd think being the richest person in the world would make you seem less pathetic. But I guess even money can't fix being an awkward loser.

 

[nikos]

Going to someone's chat and acting like that is as pathetic as it gets.

 

[Yoboman]

It's like c-c-comedy is back uh er the uh left uh tried to kill it hurhur

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

To be fair I think most of us would react the exact same way to online harrasment, and a lot of people woiuld react a lot worse.

 

[nemiroff]

autism

He does indeed have some of the traits of autism. But being among the worst fucking turds on this planet isn't one of the traits of autism. That's just EM. He's a turd that just happens to have autism.

Edit: added more clarity.

 

[Shubh_C63]

He doesn't seems to be rattled by that, nor is his first day reading these slanders. I bet he hears a lot of crap thinly veiled so on Twitter too.
Mostly felt like he ignored it but was embarrassed by no progress in the game so shut it down.

 

[HAYA8U5A]

 

[FewRope]

I'm sure he is searching actual retaliation to the those accounts, I hope everyone involve used burner accounts because he will for sure look for then

 

[consoul]

Elon Musk rage quits his favorite game

Bullshit headline. He didn't rage quit, and it's not even his favourite game.

I'm sure many people who worked with Musk have seen him fly into a rage. This ain't it.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

The real comedy is that he set chat to sub only, so all the people spamming that were giving him money.

Depends on how you look at it, he clearly was trying to put barriers up to dissuade people who don't like him.

Turns out people hate him enough that they'll pay to be able to tell him.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Wait, he is still playing POE2 after being caught of using a character leveled by someone else? He's likely got serious issues trying to prove he's the best gamer or whatever. Best thing is to just ignore him and his products.

And yeah, he deserves the pedo messages after calling that diver a pedo guy during the rescue operation. Sweet sweet karma.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Free speech bitch lol

 

[Schmendrick]

I'm sure the richest guy in the world is deeply hurt by a few pubescent teens tossing slurs in his general direction.....

 

[PlayStaytion]

I'm against bullying, it doesn't matter if it's Druckman or Musk but really, this guy is basically asking for it. Any person involved in politics would need to be crazy to go and stream a game. Even moreso Musk that evidently has paid people to play for him and have his username ranked.

I don't think any high level Diablo player would die in the tutorial area, even if it's their first time.

This guy is insecure as fuck. Probably why he is friends with Trump currently (but probably will fight with each other soon).

If you are interested in people, you are less likely to engage with video games.

 

[Vlodril]

Seems starlink lost connection (he was in an airplane i think) so the stream died. Bitch eating crackers at maximum level about Elon.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Who do you guys hate more, Elon Musk or Hideo Kojima?

 

[Pasta la Vista]

If the trolling was clever or satirical, I would be on this.

But it's pretty cringy. I don't know if this is what we want to champion as the gaming community.

Like, the dudes name is ELON_IS_A_PEEDOFILE typing DIE DIE DIE DIE...

This feels like a 'certain' type of person's comeback, the type that usually doesn't have a sense of humor when you give it back to them. You know who I mean. You'll see them on Reddit and Resetera.

Glad I'm not the only one that sees this thread, and some of the responses are suspect as hell.

 

[ValiantInstance]

The people spamming these lowbrow insults are cut from the same cloth as the manchild redditors on r/Nintendo currently saying they wish the assassin had killed the orange man because they can't prepurchase their new toy.

 

[KungFucius]

You can not bully the worlds biggest bully. It just isn't possible. He is just a whiny cunt who couldn't take a fraction of the awful shit he has put thousands through. He is both the richest and the worst person on the planet.

 

[MMaRsu]

The real comedy is that he set chat to sub only, so all the people spamming that were giving him money.

Ehh, its ingame chat bro, lt twitch chat

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Looks like SlimySnake has just abandoned the thread after realizing Musk was playing on a plane with a poor connection? Obviously he has some sort of axe to grind and that wouldn't fit the narrative he's attempted to weave here.

 

[RoadHazard]

I love that the richest man in the world has such a fragile ego, it really warms my heart.

Fuck Elon.

 

[Portugeezer]

Be careful, everybody has a price, so he could probably fuck that trolls mother.

 

[RoadHazard]

Maybe not THE worst. But probably in the top 20 or so.

 

[MMaRsu]

Musk is a good dude so its lame to see, people are just shit

Such a good dude

 

[SlimySnake]

The title is lifted from the article. I did not watch the 2 hour stream. My title would've given muskers a heart attack so just be glad i went with the news article painting him as a victim of cyber bullying.
