GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy found himself in an unexpected and slightly embarrassing situation during a live X Spaces broadcast that garnered over 100,000 listeners. The incident occurred while Ramaswamy was participating in the broadcast with Elon Musk to welcome conspiracy theorist Alex Jones back to the platform.
As Musk discussed his decision to bring Jones back to the social media site, Ramaswamy, apparently feeling the call of nature, informed the participants, saying, “Gentlemen, I have to go.” Subsequently, the unmistakable sound of someone urinating became audible as the conversation continued.
Amidst the unexpected audio backdrop, Alex Jones humorously pointed out that “somebody’s got their phone in the bathroom.” Host Mario Nawfal added, “That’s your phone Vivek, I’m not able to mute you.”
Upon returning to the conversation, Ramaswamy offered an apology, and Musk, ever nonchalant, quipped, “I hope you feel better.” Ramaswamy responded confidently, “I feel great.”
The incident quickly became fodder for online humor, with users on the X platform creating memes and jokes. One user quipped, “Vivek is literally draining the swamp,” adding a humorous twist to the political slogan.
While this unexpected bathroom break added a light-hearted moment to the broadcast, it also highlighted the unpredictable nature of live virtual events and the unintended humor that can arise from the blending of technology and real-life situations.
