Twitter Users Skewer Elon Musk for Saying He Got ‘90% Cheers’ at Show

Elon Musk, who was booed mercilessly by a stadium full of individuals on Sunday throughout a Dave Chappelle stand-up present, has deleted tweets that sought to elucidate away the jeers. Musk had claimed the gang was “90% cheers” and that there was a struggle within the viewers that stopped him from talking usually, each obvious lies that had been deleted by the billionaire late Monday. And Twitter customers took the chance to utterly eviscerate Musk over his unbelievable claims.

Musk, now the second wealthiest individual on the earth after dropping within the Forbes rating on Monday due to Tesla’s share value, was booed repeatedly by the San Francisco crowd on Sunday evening, although it’s not exactly clear why they had been booing. Some individuals speculated numerous former Twitter workers had been doubtless within the crowd, a believable idea given the truth that Musk instituted large layoffs and firings after he purchased the corporate in late October.

But it actually might’ve been any variety of issues, together with his flirtations with unhinged QAnon conspiracy theories, his misrepresentations of how Twitter’s content material moderation group previously worked, his embrace of right-wing politics, or his weird hatred of trans people.

Musk’s tweets on Monday tried to present different causes for his clear embarrassment at being booed by such a big crowd.

“Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter). It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh,” Musk tweeted.

Given Chappelle’s current rightward lurch in public, it’s onerous to think about the gang in San Francisco on Sunday was a bunch of “unhinged leftists,” paying not less than $80 per ticket. But that wasn’t Musk’s solely excuse.

“A major fight broke out in the audience just as I was about to talk, so didn’t get to say much,” Musk tweeted.

If Musk was actually unable to talk as a result of a struggle was breaking out, nobody onstage appeared to acknowledge it. The solely true hostility from that evening seemed to be the large boos for Musk and Chappelle saying, “you shut the fuck up,” clearly annoyed with all of the booing. Musk deleted each tweets by late Monday, maybe as a result of they sounded ridiculous.

“It was more boos than I’d ever heard,” one attendee of the present informed NBC News on Monday.
