Kai Cenat Aims to Be the First Streamer in Space
Popular streamer Kai Cenat is setting his sights on a groundbreaking achievement: becoming the first content creator to broadcast live from space. Recently, he reached out to Elon Musk, hoping the SpaceX founder can assist him in making this ambitious dream a reality.
A Bold Proposal During Mafiathon 2
On November 9, during his ninth day of the Mafiathon 2 subathon on Twitch, Cenat engaged in a conversation with friends about the feasibility of a space trip. He passionately expressed, “You can! I think if you can talk to the right people, Elon or whoever it is, you can go to space. I want to be the first person to go to space and say ‘Yo chat!’”
Calculated Risks
Cenat is no stranger to the showbiz of streaming and the inherent dangers involved. He elaborated on the risks, saying, “I did research on it; they said there is a 3-5% chance of dying. But honestly, that’s a chance I am willing to take.” He emphasized his determination, stating, “I’m going to do one stream,” while acknowledging that he would need Musk’s support to fulfill this dream.
Public Appeal to Elon Musk
Shortly after the stream, Cenat took to his Twitter/X account to directly appeal for Musk’s help. He wrote, “Hey Elon, I would like to be the first streamer to stream & say ‘YO CHAT’ from space. I believe you are the only person that can help me achieve this goal, let’s make history.”

Cenat’s Streaming Legacy
This endeavor comes as Cenat attempts to reclaim the title for the most subscribers ever on Twitch. Currently, he is competing against V-Tuber Ironmouse, who holds the record at 326,252 subscribers (as of October 2024). Cenat’s previous high was 306,621 subscribers, and he is now over 290,000.
Pushing Creative Boundaries
Cenat’s ambition to stream from space is just one example of his innovative content approach. His Mafiathon stream featured an impressive promotional cinematic trailer with Kim Kardashian and commenced with a backyard concert headlined by Lil Uzi Vert. Additionally, the stream has welcomed various celebrities, including Snoop Dogg, Miranda Cosgrove, GloRilla, Kodak Black, and TikTok star NPC Miles Morales.
As Cenat continues to push the boundaries of live streaming, his vision of broadcasting from space represents the latest frontier in digital content creation, captivating audiences and sparking conversations around the future of streaming and innovation.
