Republican presidential candidate and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy apparently forgot to mute himself using the bathroom during a live event Sunday.
During a live stream X Spaces event with other users such as Elon Musk, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Andrew Tate, and many others, Ramaswamy left the microphone unmuted as he was heard using the bathroom.
“I’m super pro-human, and I mean all humans,” Musk can be heard saying prior to attention being drawn to the sound of someone peeing. “Uh, you know, humans in America, humans in Africa, Asia and everywhere else.”

“Somebody’s got their thing open peeing,” Jones can be heard interrupting Musk as he’s speaking. “Someone’s got their phone open in the bathroom.”
Host Mario Nawfal then chimed in to reveal the sound was coming from Ramaswamy and asked the candidate to mute himself as he could not mute him.
“Sorry about that,” Ramaswamy told the group.
A laughing Musk could be heard telling Ramaswamy, “I hope you feel better now.”
“I feel great, thank you,” Ramaswamy said. “Sorry about that guys.”
The X Spaces live stream marked the first since Musk reinstated Jones’ account to the social media site. Jones had been banned from X in September 2018 after displaying abusive behavior. During the live stream talk, the group talked about subjects such as political censorship and depopulation.
Jones was ordered to pay $1.5 billion to Sandy Hook families for claiming the school shooting was a hoax.
