Republican Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy took the concept of a “livestream” a little too literally this weekend, appearing to audibly take a piss during a Twitter space with Elon Musk, Alex Jones, and several right-wing figures.

The aspiring Commander-in-Chief lived every WFH-er’s 2020 nightmare on Sunday when the sound of his wizz accidentally underscored a "serious" Spaces discussion about having children after the politician evidently forgot to turn off his microphone during a trip to the restroom.



While for the first several seconds, the participants of the stream — one which boasted roughly 100,000 listeners, per Business Insider — appeared to ignore the tinkling sound in the background, Jones emerged as an (extremely unlikely) voice of reason.


"Somebody's got their phone in the bathroom,” the soon-to-be negative billionaire warned.


Entrepreneur Mario Nawfal, however, decided to call out Ramaswamy by name, making it clear who, exactly, was serenading the Twitterverse with their (concerningly) light stream.


"That's your phone, Vivek," he said. "I'm not able to mute you."


Though Ramaswamy ultimately turned off his microphone and issued an apology, he proceeded to take his piss in stride, cracking several jokes about the incident.

"Well, I hope you feel better," Musk said to the candidate.

"I feel great, thank you,” he replied.


We can only hope that this incident will inspire Ramaswamy for years to come — specifically, prompting him to herald the return of LiveLeak.
