Vivek Ramaswamy Caught on Hot Mic Using Bathroom During Livestream With Elon Musk and Alex Jones

www.mediaite.com Vivek Ramaswamy Caught on Hot Mic Using Bathroom During Livestream With Elon Musk and Alex Jones

Vivek Ramaswamy forgot to mute himself in the bathroom while on an X Space call with Elon Musk and Alex Jones along with other right-wing personalities.

I apologize for this childish post, but all I could think of was that scene in The Naked Gun.

And now it's come true.

This is why the writers of Veep decided to end the show, since their parody was somehow less outlandish than reality
So not only did Musk un-ban Jones, even though he said he never would because he exploited the deaths of children, but he's also appearing on livestreams with him? Do I have that right? He's not only giving him a platform to spread conspiracies, he's boosting them by appearing with him at an event? Jesus Christ, what a gigantic piece of shit.
- Twitter users are down. Ad sales are drying up. Employees are continuing to do bare minimum until they can jump ship.
  
  Musk is beyond throwing spaghetti at the wall, as he's now scraping the poop chute and seeing if that works.
- Musk knows Alex Jones viewers support him nowadays.

Sometimes, life needs a little levity, and I'm fine with it coming at the expense of terrible assholes.
- This would still be funny if it happened to a politician I liked. But that would last about 30 seconds before the Family Values dipshits started calling for a censure for obscenity or some bullshit.

Shouldn't appearing with Musk and Jones be more embarrassing for him?

If you will note ggatatgtct agagatacca you can see guy is genetically unable to feel shame.

That's some niche comedy there bud
This sequence actually codes for recQ-mediated genome instability protein 1 in Glycin max, for those curious. So Vivek is actually a soybean. It all checks out.

This. Musk doesn't know how to run a professional event. He fires everyone so Vivek should have seen disaster coming.

I thought the last event ended his chances for president.

Has Alex Jones paid off his debts to the people who sued him for lying about their tragedies?
- He filed for bankruptcy. I saw something about the families were willing to settle for 6% I think it was. I haven't seen anything else.
  
  I have a better idea for him, and his estate.
  
  A much more pointedly deserving idea.
I’d guess that this was the most informative and intelligent moment of the entire discussion. If I was forced to choose between listening to these fascists chuds talk for an hour or a 60 minute compilation of Ramaswamy peeing, I’d probably take the latter.
Way to prove you are a "free speech absolutist" Elon. The sound of a fascist man-child pissing is the real "truth" the media has been hiding from us. Go fuck yourself.
I doubt he was the only person with his fly unzipped during that call
I hate that this even exists as "news"
- We're in the golden era of batshit incompetent fascism.
  
  Could be worse.
  
  Batshit competent fascism?
- Stupidest timeline ever. So far.
I was thinking the scene in iasip where Frank forgets to shut off the mic while talking about banging dead bodies
- classic gag from one of the "naked gun" movies as well.
Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming move if there ever was one
Giving Musk and Jones the full attention they deserve.
Very odd to see. Quite a controversial trio.
Footage of the event
I just shat my pants
You can tell just from the sound of the pee that it's small.
