Twitch star Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker clapped back at Elon Musk after the Twitter/X boss took a swipe at him on his social media platform.
Over the last few years, the line between internet stardom and mainstream popularity has become blurred, especially when it comes to Twitch. Plenty of celebrities have gotten involved with streaming, be it by hosting their own stream or appearing on somebody else’s.
Hasan, Twitch’s biggest political streamer, has been right at the forefront of that, streaming alongside a number of comedians, celebrities, and political names. The streaming star also isn’t afraid of getting into spats with people he doesn’t quite agree with, either.
He has, at times, taken digs at Elon Musk, especially when it comes to his recent purchase of Twitter – which he has since renamed to X.

Hasan doesn’t always draw a response from the people he takes shots at, however, Musk isn’t too shy about responding to people in his own way.

He did just that on January 21 when he responded to a meme about a post from Hasan in September as he claimed he’d been taxed for electronics he’d taken on vacation with him to Mexico. Musk replied to the meme with a laughing emoji, invoking a pretty strong reply from the Twtich star.
“Come on the show @elonmusk,” Hasan tweeted, including a screenshot of him talking to Musk’s ex-wife, Grimes when the Canadian singer-songwriter joined him on stream in April 2022.
Some commenters urged Hasan to do a few streams on Twitter/X to further get Musk’s attention, but that’s unlikely to happen given his deal with Twitch.
The Tesla CEO has joined internet personalities in their content before, most notably appearing in a PewDiePie video during his battle with T-Series. Though, who knows if this wild crossover would ever happen.
