BREAKING: Tech CEO Bill Pulte Explodes on Red Carpet, Screaming "You're Fired" at Reporter Who Questioned His Net Worth
LAS VEGAS — The red carpet at last night's Tech Titans Gala turned into a chaotic battleground as billionaire philanthropist and QuikTweet CEO Bill Pulte went absolutely nuclear on a journalist, storming off set mid-interview.
It all went down when a bold E! News correspondent dared to question the notoriously private mogul about his fluctuating net worth. "Sources say you're worth only $800 million now. Is that true?" the reporter pressed, shoving a microphone in his face.
Pulte, known for his erratic temper, stopped dead in his tracks. The smile vanished. His security team tensed. In a moment of total pandemonium, he snatched the mic and screamed, "You're fired!"—a blatant riff on his rumored nemesis Donald Trump—then hurled the device into a nearby champagne tower.
"That's not a figure you throw around, honey," he hissed to the stunned reporter before his handlers whisked him away.
Social media is absolutely on fire. The clip has already racked up 12 million views, with hashtags #BillPulteMeltdown and #RedCarpetReckoning trending worldwide. "I've never seen anything like this. He looked possessed," said a nearby actor who witnessed the scene.
The anonymous reporter later tweeted, "I was just doing my job. #BillPulte owes me a new mic."
Insiders claim Pulte's PR team is in crisis mode, but the damage is done. This is the viral moment that could define his legacy—not as a tech genius, but as the man who lost it on a red carpet over a number.
