Twitch Streamer Hasan Piker Bought A Porsche And People Are Once Again Upset That He's Rich

Twitch streamer Hasan “Hasanabi” Piker was Twitter’s main character February 4 after catching the internet’s ire for buying an expensive-ass car. What normally wouldn’t be a big deal—going into a dealership and walking out with a new vehicle—was blown outta proportion in Piker’s case because the popular political broadcaster claims to be a socialist. This self-identification has pissed folks off, as Piker didn’t buy just any car. He bought a $200,000 Porsche Taycan, which many have called a dentist car.


Piker livestreamed himself with fellow streamers AustinShow, JakeNBake, and Myth on February 4 as they drove to a Porsche dealership in Los Angeles to pick up the new car: the aforementioned $200,000 2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo S in a beautiful cobalt blue. It’s a nice purchase but one that some think contradicts Piker’s anti-capitalist views, hence the anger.

Hasan bought himself a $200,000 car. If you wanna just blindly worship the gay fuckboy pretending to be a socialist to live a celebrity lifestyle go ahead but stop lying about it with this fucking stupid meme https://t.co/PssFzQY8lf

Folks have essentially called Piker a hypocrite for voicing socialist rhetoric while using the money he earns to line the pockets of big businesses. Others straight-up said his spending habits mean he isn’t a socialist at all. Then, there were alt-right commentators like Lauren Southern who came out of the woodwork to mock Piker for buying a dentist car. Apparently, all dentists drive Porsches or, at the very least, you can expect to see a sports car or two in your dentist’s parking lot.
