In a recent live chat on X Spaces, Indian-American entrepreneur and Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy found himself in an awkward situation that quickly grabbed the attention of 2.3 million listeners. During the conversation, while SpaceX and Tesla Chief Elon Musk was discussing the possibility of getting Infowars founder Alex Jones back on a social media network, Ramaswamy unexpectedly interrupted, stating, “Gentleman, I have to go.”
However, as the conversation continued, attendees noticed the unmistakable sound of rushing water in the background. Alex Jones humorously pointed it out, suggesting someone might have inadvertently left their phone in the bathroom. Host Mario Nawfal identified the source, stating, “Vivek, that’s your phone. But I am not able to mute you.”
Ramaswamy, realizing the gaffe, promptly apologized for the embarrassing moment. Elon Musk reacted with a touch of humor, stating, “I hope you feel better now.” To which Ramaswamy responded, “I feel great. Sorry about that, guys.”
The incident sparked varied reactions among X Spaces users, with some finding it uproariously funny. The platform owner expressed their amusement, stating, “I’m literally rofl rn,” while users labeled it a “legendary moment” and “pretty damn funny.” Some shared their own mishaps during live broadcasts, relating to incidents like their cat attacking the microphone or leaving it on inadvertently.
Despite the lighthearted reactions, some sympathized with Ramaswamy, noting that such incidents can stick in memory for a long time. The 38-year-old entrepreneur, originally from southwest Ohio, comes from a background where his parents migrated to the US from Kerala. Ramaswamy, also a Republican presidential candidate, has been active in various entrepreneurial pursuits.
The incident, though amusing for many, highlights the unpredictable nature of live events and the occasional mishaps that come with them. As preparations for the upcoming US presidential election in November 2024 gather momentum, this lighthearted incident is likely to remain a memorable footnote in Vivek Ramaswamy’s journey.
