Silicon Valley, June 2025 — Elon Musk has done it again — and this time, it’s bigger, weirder, and wilder than ever.

In a now-viral livestream broadcast from X headquarters late Sunday night, the billionaire tech mogul launched into a jaw-dropping tirade that left fans stunned, investors scrambling, and critics saying, “We told you so.”

Appearing visibly frustrated, Musk went off-script during what was meant to be a Q&A about upcoming AI features. Instead, he took aim at the media, regulators, competitors, and — in a bizarre twist — even his own employees. “They don’t understand the mission,” Musk snapped. “If you’re slowing us down, you’re part of the problem. Period.”

“Burn it all down!”

The rant quickly spiraled into chaos. Musk accused government agencies of sabotaging progress, mocked Mark Zuckerberg (“he’s still in the metaverse — tell him we moved on”), and cryptically warned that “humanity has six years left unless we reach Mars.”

At one point, he yelled, “Burn it all down! We’ll start over on Mars with people who actually get it.”

Market panic and public reaction

Within minutes, X was flooded with clips, memes, and speculation. Hashtags like #ElonUnfiltered, #MuskMeltdown, and #SpaceCult began trending globally. Tesla’s stock dropped 4.2% in after-hours trading, and analysts began questioning the stability of Musk-led enterprises.

“Is he a genius with no filter, or is something seriously wrong?” tweeted one industry expert. “Either way, this impacts billions of dollars and millions of people.”

Loyal fans vs growing doubts

Musk’s loyal followers hailed the stream as “raw” and “visionary,” defending him as a misunderstood innovator who refuses to be silenced. “This is what true leadership looks like — unchained, unafraid, and unbought,” one fan posted on X.

But not everyone is convinced.

A former Tesla executive, speaking anonymously, said: “There’s always been chaos around Elon — but lately, it feels less like brilliance and more like breakdown.”

What’s next?

Despite the controversy, Musk seemed unfazed. In a follow-up post just hours later, he wrote simply:

“You can’t disrupt without destruction. Watch what happens next.”

And just like that, the world braces for whatever Elon Musk does — or destroys — next.
