Billionaire Elon Musk was booed by the crowd when his attendance on the final day of the Valorant Champions 2023 tournament was highlighted in the broadcast.
In a clip of the stream shared by Jake Lucky, Musk's attendance in the stadium was revealed, [[link]] only to be met with raucous boos from the crowd. "Where's that coming from, that can't be from in here, surely," one of the stream's broadcasters asked. "Is that a bigger reaction than [professional Valorant player] tenZ got?" The other replied.
The feed cut back to a match between Canada-based Evil Geniuses and the Singaporean team Paper Rex, but the crowd wasn't finished with Musk. "Focus [is] back on the game now," one of the broadcasters erroneously declared before the crowd broke into a chant of "Bring back Twitter."
If I had billions of dollars, I would probably throw my fortune at a massive development effort to make a quadruple-A CRPG in the Dark Sun setting, and I would also have Thanksgiving dinner for every meal until I got the gout. Given the same opportunity, Musk engaged in a media feud with the corporate ownership of formerly-essential social media giant, Twitter. Musk made and then backed out of an offer to buy the company for $44 billion, only to be forced to see the deal through after facing legal pressure from a Delaware court.
Since then, the billionaire has capped a host of poorly-received staff, monetization, and moderation changes by renaming the site to "Xhamster.com," sorry, I mean "X.com." In May, The Guardian reported that the company has lost two thirds [[link]] of its value under Musk's leadership.
