    Compare and contrast:

    • Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamer
    • Eventually, he vanished when his WiFi connection abruptly cut out and ended the stream, which he later deleted from X but was swiftly reuploaded onto YouTube.

    He was showing off Starlink wifi while on a plane. Isn’t it possible his connection got dropped? Or at least, if you rage quit doesn’t there have to be some rage?

      He didn’t and it didn’t. He experienced lag, but he stopped playing before his character died on screen. He could have very likely survived if he continued any movement input. The stream didn’t cut out abruptly, his video remained clear and he spoke before ending it manually.

      He was upset about the incoming messages and used the lag as an excuse to log off. He was willing to blame his own product rather than spend one more moment on camera. He’s a weak little man who craves the validation of gamers and internet strangers and absolutely cannot handle being bullied.

      Well, either he quit due to rage or starlink failed to sustain the connection, undermining his claim about its greatness. Seems like a win either way.

      Or at least, if you rage quit doesn’t there have to be some rage?

      Oh, there is. You feel the rage internally, but you would never give anyone else the satisfaction of seeing you rage. You save the rage until after the quit and then you rage in privacy. I’ve ragequit many a thing. I am very experienced at this.
