Elon Musk was tackled hard by online players at a live stream. After an hour and a half he left the game.

Elon Musk is known for the fact that, in addition to his entrepreneurial work and his advisory job in the White House, he still likes to take the console and appear in online games. So also when he was traveling with his private jet a few days ago and wanted to try out how good internet access is through his Starlink satellites.

As the British “Independent” reports, Musk joined the game “Path of Exile 2” and was also seen as a player in the live stream. He has often been a guest in the role -playing game. Now he was beaten “Bloated Miller” by the player. But that was not the only defeat.

Other players criticized the Tesla boss, who is also Donald Trump’s husband for savings on government expenditure. “You have no friends and will die lonely,” said one of the players, according to the report. Another accused him of: “You ruined the country, just as you ruined all of your marriages”.

Musk was seen for 90 minutes, with a petrified face. Only when a player called him “stupid and ugly”, he replied: “There are a lot of R ****** in chat”, although what exactly meant was unclear by the expression.

Other players stated that they were one of his children or an unknown son. As further comments, in which Musk was desired (“die, die, die, die!”), He wrote “Oh, we lost the connection”. His game character died in the game and musk logged out. The live stream was initially seen on Musk’s X account, but was then deleted. Later recordings appeared on YouTube.

In January there were allegations against Elon Musk that he was represented by top players online. The “Washington Post” reported in his name in his name. The Teslachef initially tried to deny, but then admitted: “It is impossible to beat players in Asia if you don’t,” he said. A short time later, one of his characters could be seen online, while he was at the same time when Donald Trump was inaugurated.

Musk also gets criticism from another side. A democratic senator has brought in a draft law that prohibits the allocation of government orders and subsidies to companies that are owned by special government employees. This aims at the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla. According to a Senate employee, Donald Trump had declared the entrepreneur a special government employee. Special government agents, which also include many members of Musk’s so -called “Department of Government Efficiency” (Doge), are limited to 130 days and except for some regulations on financial disclosure.

“Those who put themselves in the service of our country should do so because they want to contribute to the improvement of our nation – and not because they want to benefit from their public service at the expense of taxpayers,” Shaheen told the British “Guardian”. Shaheen’s draft law would expressly prohibit an executive authority to award a “contract, financial assistance or a cooperation agreement” to a company whose economic owner is a special government employee with a participation of more than five percent.

However, since the Democrats do not have a majority in the Senate, the prospects of success of the initiative are low. Nevertheless, the draft law increases the pressure on Musk and also President Donald Trump. Musks role in the US government is also controversial among some Republicans. In addition, investors at Tesla get nervous in the face of falling sales figures and poorly becoming an image. Some have already demanded that Musk concentrate more on his companies again.
