Elon Musk Gets Viciously Booed by Stadium Crowd at Dave Chappelle Show

Elon Musk, the billionaire who desires nothing extra in life than to be adored by legions of followers, was loudly booed by a crowd in San Francisco on Sunday night time after he was invited onstage by comic Dave Chappelle. And the footage is fairly tough, even in case you don’t notably like Musk.

“Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world,” Chappelle mentioned close to the top of his set on the Chase Center.

The crowd erupted into a mix of cheers and boos, earlier than the boos clearly gained out, in accordance with footage posted on Twitter. The booing bought louder as Musk wandered round onstage with a microphone in hand. Musk began pacing and waving, clearly not sure what to do about such a detrimental response.

“Cheers and boos, I see. Elon…” Chappelle mentioned.

“Hey Dave,” Musk responded, prompting one other wave of boos from the gang.

“It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience,” Chappelle joked.

“All these people who are booing, and I’m just pointing out the obvious, you have terrible seats,” Chappelle mentioned, apparently making an attempt to avoid wasting Musk’s dignity by calling the people who find themselves booing poor.

Phones weren’t allowed contained in the stadium for the present, however not less than one particular person snuck theirs in and captured the weird trade, posting it to Twitter.

Chappelle tried to salvage the encounter, in accordance with a second video posted to Twitter, joking, “his whole business model is fuck Earth, I’m leaving anyway.”

“What kind of pussy they got up there? That’s what we’ll be doing,” Chappelle mentioned, in accordance with the video.

After Chappelle’s jokes about “titty bars” in house, the gang gave the impression to be correctly gained over and Musk began to talk once more.

“Thanks for having me up on stage,” Musk mentioned awkwardly to extra boos.

“The first comedy club on Mars….” Chappelle mentioned, as Musk stood by awkwardly simply saying “yeah.”

As the laughs for Chappelle’s jokes would get drowned out by boos anytime Musk tried to speak, the comic mentioned that individuals might boo all they need, as a result of Musk had given him a jetpack final Christmas.

But each single time Musk started to talk, the gang began booing once more, a lot to the frustration of Musk.

“Dave, what should I say?” Musk mentioned, clearly determined and getting embarrassed on the roar of booing.

“Don’t say nothing. It’ll only spoil the moment,” Chappelle mentioned. “Do you hear that sound, Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest. I can’t wait to see what store you decimate next, motherfucker. You shut the fuck up.”

The temper within the stadium positively modified when Chappelle began to get hostile in protection of Musk.

“I wish everyone in this auditorium peace and the joy of feeling free,” Chappelle mentioned, clearly exhausted that bringing Musk on stage had been such a failure. “And your pursuit of happiness. Amen.”

At that time, Chappelle clearly determined to throw within the towel, thanking the gang and saying good night time, however a third video exhibits Chris Rock becoming a member of the stage together with a couple of different folks.

One of the lads onstage is requested by Chappelle to shout the catchphrase from his 2000s sketch present, “I’m rich, bitch,” into the mic. The man dutifully complies, then says, “wait, wait,” whereas handing the microphone to Musk, clearly wanting him to say the identical factor. Musk does, in essentially the most awkward tone you might think about. The crowd once more erupts into boos, solely drowned out by somebody within the stadium’s sound division honking a horn of some kind.

It’s troublesome to inform from the movies exactly what proportion of the gang was booing throughout the cringeworthy episode, however some on social media estimated it was the overwhelming majority of individuals within the 18,000-capacity stadium.

“Was at the Dave Chapelle show at SF tonight and who comes on but Elon Musk! A good 80% of the stadium boos. 18k people. and he withers. Like absolutely turns into a corncob. ‘What should I say??’ He says Dave tries to salvage the situation but to no avail,” James Yu, the founding father of Sudowrite, mentioned on Twitter.

“Obv straightforward to armchair play afterwards, however not less than say one thing. ‘Thanks. Now pay me $8′ and mic drop would have gotten a laugh. He did mumble something about being in a simulation, but felt totally off vibe for the crowd,” Yu explained.

Musk, who used to have a rather bipartisan appeal in the U.S., has outed himself as an entitled right-wing prick in the short span that he’s owned Twitter. Musk purchased Twitter, together with numerous traders, for $44 billion on the finish of October when he virtually instantly instigated brutal layoffs.

Musk has additionally been making an attempt to courtroom among the worst folks on the web currently, tweeting over the weekend that his “pronouns” are “Prosecute/Fauci.” The tweet is seemingly each a “joke” about people who find themselves trans, and a reference to the far-right perception that Anthony Fauci, the nation’s main infectious illness knowledgeable, was in some way accountable for the covid-19 pandemic that struck all the world.

Obviously, San Francisco is called a liberal metropolis and it wouldn’t be an enormous shock for a Bay Area crowd to boo the wealthiest man on the planet. But it’s not like this was a crowd of antifa supersoldiers or one thing. The folks in attendance have been there to see Dave Chapelle, a person who’s lately outed himself as an anti-trans bigot. Chris Rock was additionally a headliner, in accordance with the native press.

Maybe the gang was made up of the hundreds of individuals Musk laid off from Twitter, as Chappelle joked. That definitely looks like a really actual chance, given the response. But actually, Musk has been such an asshole for therefore many various causes currently, it’s robust to slender it down. Musk has additionally been directing his hostility at former workers, a few of whom elected to remain on with the corporate after Musk’s preliminary purge, like Yoel Roth, the previous head of Trust and Safety at Twitter.

Musk made a fully baseless suggestion that Roth was in favor of the sexualization of kids, an obvious ploy to invent his personal QAnon mythology that the billionaire is on a quest to personally finish the exploitation of kids around the globe. In actuality, Musk has gutted the workforce at Twitter that displays for little one exploitation materials, in accordance with Wired UK.

Musk could not face any actual penalties in his life—like when he bought away with baselessly calling someone a pedophile—given his monumental wealth, however all the cash on the planet can’t purchase you genuine adoration from crowds of individuals. Perhaps Musk ought to follow his secure house on Twitter. He did pay $44 billion for it, in any case. And he will get loads of love from bizarre nerds who need nothing greater than to be in proximity to his wealth, even when it’s digital. Unfortunately for Musk, the Chase Center in San Francisco doesn’t have a block button.
