Another embarrassing day for Elon in the nerdsphere.

If you don't know who asmon is, he was a warcraft streamer that has now transitioned to about 50/50 variety games and political reactions. He's somewhere around #5 on twitch and the videos/clips from his show regularly break 1 million views on YouTube. Honestly he's a very interesting individual but while he's a bit of a nicname politically his audience has a huge and vocal incel population. As such he has gained the (positive) attention of Elon in the past.

Asmon made a video about the poe2 situation and deservedly laughed at the loser for buying video game clout. Yesterday Elon attempted to share dm's from asmon and it's predictably backfired.

https://x.com/JakeSucky/status/1879923586485702909

Boomer Elon thinks asmon is talking about editorial control, but he's talking about the dudes that cut his 8-10 hour streams down to clips and 1 hour videos. Elon then unfollowed asmon and removed his blue check.


Lol at Elon thinking that DM screenshot was a dunk

I'm so out of touch with young people that I'm not sure he'll even be aware of it. Both poe and asmon have a 25-40ish demographic.

Asmongold became famous by literally living in his filth playing WoW in his mother's attic. Like moldy cups of pop and garbage. You can imagine his audience. No one wins in a "fight" between the two and it is hilarious that the world's richest man and shadow president is arguing with some degenerate streamer from a room at Mar-a-Lago.

PoE players are universally laughing at Elon and torn between thinking the game's Terms of Service should be enforced on him as an example (it is against the Terms to pay for an account like he obviously did), and thinking they should leave him alone because he is insane and will go nuclear on the developers if they ban him.

My daughter is slightly amused by it all, but more in a "we are so mumped" way than finding it entertainment. She finds the PoE aspect especially WTF, as you would obviously need to play the game for hundreds, if not thousands, of hours to reach where his character did. Not to mention that if you attempted to trade with his character the in-game chat defaulted to Chinese. It is an extremely odd thing to try and fake, and he specifically outed himself by streaming his attempt at playing the character at a kindergarten level.

Is the sigh implying that Elon put her up to the post, or even did it without her consent or something?

OK, yeah I don’t blame her. Tho, probably should have assumed that agreeing to be breading stock for an autistic billionaire would come with some hassles.

That’s pretty common to give a speech at your inauguration (even if it’s unofficial)

I’m sure this was just an accident the day after the inauguration and totally won’t happen again before the 2026 election.

This is pretty wild. Reddit has a good thread on this. Even other countries are affected. Some accounts auto followed JD Vance and others just had him and other Rs as recommended follows, while hashtags like #democrat were blocked as sensitive.

Not great Bob
