Dr Disrespect Teases Potential Streaming Move to X After Monetization
3 min read
Dr Disrespect, the two-time back-to-back gaming champion and one of the most prominent names in the streaming world, might soon be broadcasting on Elon Musk’s X platform. This development follows X’s decision to monetize his account, fueling speculation about his next move in the streaming landscape.
The past few weeks have been transformative for Dr Disrespect. After enduring a challenging year, including the loss of revenue from YouTube in June and the long-awaited revelation of the reasons behind his Twitch ban, the streamer is on a roll. His November 25 announcement of joining Rumble as an advisor and gaming content leader has already left a significant mark. The move not only elevated Rumble’s gaming section but also boosted the company’s market value by a staggering $200 million.
Dr Disrespect’s debut stream on Rumble drew in 40,000 viewers, showcasing his immense popularity. Despite his apparent success on Rumble, recent updates suggest he could be expanding his reach further by streaming on X.
How did this get leaked?

Hints of X Streaming Appear After Monetization
In September, Dr Disrespect teased his audience with the possibility of creating content on X. During a humorous skit featuring ‘Robo Doc,’ he jokingly encouraged viewers to subscribe to his X account, even though the feature wasn’t active at the time. Fast forward to December 12, and fans were quick to spot that his X account now has a subscription option, officially signaling monetization.
When fans began discussing the news, the streamer responded cryptically, stating, “How did this get leaked? I haven’t prepared anything… yet.” This fueled further anticipation about whether he would begin streaming on X alongside his ongoing Rumble broadcasts.
One plausible scenario is that Dr Disrespect may simulcast on X and Rumble before transitioning to exclusive content on Rumble Premium. Given X’s entrance into the streaming space with the launch of X Gaming in September, the timing feels right. Musk’s platform has already onboarded creators like TimTheTatman, and Dr Disrespect’s addition would further bolster X Gaming’s ambitions.
Fans and Clues Align
Fans have lauded the potential move, emphasizing the convenience of multi-platform accessibility. “This is a good move… cover every platform you possibly can,” one fan commented. Another praised his entrepreneurial spirit, stating, “I knew he would utilize X eventually. That’s the ambitious entrepreneur in him.”
Adding to the intrigue, there’s a subtle alignment between Dr Disrespect’s branding and the visions of Musk and Rumble’s CEO, Chris Pavlovski. The streamer’s ‘Make Gaming Great Again’ merchandise echoes Musk’s recent initiatives, including his AI game studio announcement and hints at acquiring Hasbro for Dungeons & Dragons.
As the streaming wars heat up, it remains to be seen how Dr Disrespect will leverage his newfound presence on X. For now, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the two-time’s journey, one that promises to reshape the gaming and streaming landscape once again.
