Several popular Twitch streamers were taken aback by Elon Musk's unexpected appearance at the VCT Grand Finals earlier today.
Former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pro, Tarik, co-hosted a live watch party with Jeremy "Disguised Toast." When the Tesla and X's CEO appeared on the screen, Tarik immediately began searching for him at the stadium and exclaimed:
"What?! Where is that? Uh-oh... the owner of X? Is that him? We're trying to get Elon on the stream. But he said he's too cool for us. Elon Esports, bro! Please!"
Disguised Toast noticed the crowd booing Elon Musk and joked that the latter would no longer invest in the Valorant esports scene:
"Oh, wait! They just put in Elon Musk. Oh... there's some boos. Oh, my god! Very controversial figure. Oh, no, now that he's got booed, he's not going to invest in Valorant anymore."
Moroccan-Canadian icon Imane "Pokimane" also watched the VCT Grand Finals. She was curious about who Musk attended the event with after seeing his appearance:
"I love Elon, I have no biases whatsoever. (Elon Musk appears on the screen) Elon! Who's he here with? Aside from the kid. (Pokimane bursts out laughing) He's probably just here with the kid. 'Who's the kid?' Yo, that was, like, a little bit of a boo. It sure was not a very happy cheer."
