Republican 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy generated attention on social media Sunday when he appeared to urinate while his microphone was on during a Twitter Space livestream.
During a Sunday livestream alongside individuals like Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Andrew Tate, and Jack Posobiec, Ramaswamy appeared to accidentally leave his microphone on while relieving himself in the restroom.
A video clip of the incident Sunday that was shared on X, formerly Twitter, highlights the moment the other livestream panelists discovered that Ramaswamy’s microphone was still on.
“I’m super pro-human, and I mean all humans. Uh, you know, humans in America, humans in Africa and Asia,” Musk said before the Tesla CEO and X owner was interrupted by another speaker on the livestream who pointed out a strange noise apparently coming from Ramaswamy’s microphone.

“Someone’s got their thing open peeing. Someone’s got their phone open in the bathroom,” Alex Jones said, before warning the Republican presidential candidate, “Vivek, Vivek, that’s your phone, Vivek. I’m not able to mute you.”
After Ramaswamy laughed and apologized for the incident, Musk joked, “Well, I hope you feel better now.”
Ramaswamy answered, “I feel great, thank you,” before laughing and apologizing once again for forgetting to turn off his microphone.
According to The Guardian, Sunday’s livestream on X reportedly had over 100,000 listeners at the time of the audio incident, with approximately 2.3 million users listening to different parts of the livestream.
The Daily Caller reported that many social media users reacted in amusement to the accident. One user wrote, “Vivek is literally draining the swamp,” while another user jokingly questioned, “Is he the first candidate we’ve heard pee?” Another social media user described the incident, saying, “The wildest group of people laughing over a piss you’ll ever hear in one conversation lol.”
