Indian-American entrepreneur and Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was recently caught in an embarrassing moment during a live X Spaces chat with SpaceX and Tesla chief Elon Musk, American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and several others. About 2.3 million listeners tuned into the chat.
During the session, Mr. Rawaswamy interrupted Musk and said, “Sir, I have to go,” while sharing his thoughts on getting Infowars founder Alex Jones back on his social media network. Meanwhile, as the session progressed, several people pointed out that they could hear the sound of running water in the background. “Someone has their thing open while they're peeing. Someone has their phone in the bathroom,” Alex Jones pointed out. According to the recording of the Spaces chat shared on the platform, host Mario Nawfal said, “Vivek, that's your phone. But I can't mute you.” Mr Ramaswamy quickly realized what had happened and immediately apologized for the embarrassing moment.
Mr Musk added: “I hope you are feeling better now”. Replying to the same, Mr Ramaswamy said, “I'm feeling great. Sorry about that guys.”
This incident sparked several responses to X. The platform's owner added, “I'm literally rofl rn.”

“Legendary moment,” said one user.
“That was damn funny,” someone commented.
Another added: “As a live show host, things like this happen randomly, LOL.
I left the mic warm one time, but when I came back I saw my cat attacking it and meowing into it, LOL.”
“At least he laughed about it,” one user added.
“Poor guy, this will never leave him now,” one user commented.
It is striking that 38-year-old Vivek Ramaswamy is from southwestern Ohio. His mother was a geriatric psychiatrist and his father worked as an engineer at General Electric. His parents migrated to the US from Kerala. The next US presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024.
