Netizens LOL as Adin Ross says he supports tariffs right after revealing $10M loss in market crash

Adin Ross, the streamer best known for chaotic Kick rants and gifting Trump a $12,000 Rolex, is now apparently an expert on international trade.

In a recent stream, Ross casually dropped that he supports tariffs—immediately after revealing he lost $10 million in the recent stock market crash. Yes, you read that right. A man who just watched his portfolio nosedive decided now was the perfect time to weigh in on global economics.

As seen in the @Dexerto tweet:

“The tariff sh*t is good asf, all these other countries do it to us,” Ross said, with the confidence of someone who definitely just Googled "What is a tariff?" five minutes earlier.

Naturally, the internet had thoughts—and those thoughts were roasted to a perfect crisp.

Adin Ross an expert economist after the stock nosedive, and the internet can’t stop laughing

The digital streets were buzzing, and X (formerly Twitter) did what it does best: take a hot take—in this case, Adin Ross praising tariffs minutes after losing $10 million—and roast it to perfection. It all kicked off with a now-viral clip of Ross confidently claiming:

“The tariff sh*t is good asf, all these other countries do it to us.”

That’s right—he went from financial faceplant to fiscal policy in record time. @realaecrypto summed up the confusion and chaos of the moment perfectly:

“Bro lost $10M and turned into an economist overnight.”

Some fans were quick to doubt Ross’s economic credentials:

“He doesn't know anything about the market lmfao”-@supremo_web3

“That’s a bold thing to say after losing almost 20% of his net worth 💀💀"-@GlizzyGovenor

“Riveting market assessment frmo my quant adin ross.” -@chrxspy_

Others mocked the sudden patriotic pivot from Adin Ross:

“American thing to say time to pivot into a production.” -@0xCyberdevil

“Great things never happened without a little sacrifice.” -@LadoPosts

“Well this post was pointless…” -@MrRWS45

Some fans, like @autishim_ called out how easily influencers shape young minds:

“I love seeing all the 13-year-olds that watch Kick streams all day thinking they understand tariffs.”

In short, the vibes were a mix of disbelief, secondhand embarrassment, and internet gold. Adin’s market loss may have hit his bank account hard, but at least it boosted his meme value tenfold.

Influencers, politics, and the Adin Ross $10M crash

Adin Ross isn’t exactly new to stirring the pot. He has been known for right-wing endorsements and aligning himself with controversial figures—most recently Donald Trump, who he met and gifted a flashy Rolex during a visit. That moment alone sent shockwaves through the influencer space, as Ross leaned harder into political commentary—and now, apparently, economic policy.

Ross' $10 million loss came during a recent market dip, which many attribute to macroeconomic fears and uncertainty. While Ross didn’t specify which investments tanked, he did say he “got wiped” and is reevaluating how he approaches his finances. Cue the sudden interest in tariffs.

For those unfamiliar, tariffs are taxes placed on imported goods to encourage domestic production. While there is legitimate debate about their pros and cons, the issue is a lot more nuanced than a five-second soundbite can explain. Experts often warn that streamers like Ross—with huge young followings—can spread misinformation quickly, especially when discussing topics they haven’t studied. Combine that with the casual tone of live content and parasocial fan relationships, and suddenly, “influencer turned economist” isn’t just a meme—it is a warning sign.

This latest episode adds to growing concerns about how easily streamers can inject propaganda or half-baked political takes into their content, unintentionally influencing millions of impressionable viewers. It is not just about Ross being cringe—it’s about the platform and power behind him.
