“So dumb." HasanAbi reacts as Elon Musk demands his suspension from Twitch

Having found himself in increased controversy in the past year, the feud erupted after Musk himself stated support of the calls for the permanency of the ban of HasanAbi on the platform.

The drama, now blooming across the social media sphere, brings to light another culture-clash scenario between online creators, tech billionaires, and politically motivated audiences.

The Video That Set the Whole Thing on Fire

Drama began on September 12, 2025, when @iAnonPatriot on X posted a two-minute compilation of HasanAbi's past live streams, claiming in one of the clips that the 34-year-old encouraged "left-wingers and liberals" to go out and mobilize, which critics have termed a call for violence.

A fellow creator going by the name Tectone saw the post and widely shared it. Soon after, another game developer, Mark Kern, who goes by the Internet name Grummz, made things worse by emphatically demanding, "He's gotta be banned.

"

Shortly after, Elon Musk made his guilty contribution to the madness. Directly replying to Kern, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO simply uttered: "Yes."

HasanAbi’s Heated Response

Two days later, on September 14, HasanAbi, whose real name is Hasan Piker, shot back on a livestream and on X.

He accused Musk of intentionally misrepresenting him with cherry-picked clips.Hasan claims that Musk is "the richest dude on the planet spends most of his time on his social media website fomenting white supremacist hatred- trying to spark race riots- while highlighting out of context clip compilations to imply a leftist twitch streamer should be deplatformed or worse.” He ends his rebuttal saying this is just "so dumb."

Musk versus Streamers?

This is not the first time Elon Musk has clashed with well-known online personalities. The billionaire has seen time and again to criticize Twitch, TikTok, and other platforms for their moderation policies, often siding with those creators he deems unfairly silenced, while at other times calling out those he sees as dangerous.For HasanAbi, this episode is more than a personal affront. His comments start a broader concern that Musk's immense influence can serve to amplify misinformation and weaponize selective editing against political opponents. Twitch, up to this point, has not issued any statement concerning HasanAbi’s status on the platform.
