Elon Musk

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.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 12, 2022

Technically Dave did not specify what noise he wanted the ladies and gentlemen to make

I suppose he's right that SF "leftists" at a Chappelle show are, indeed, probably pretty unhinged.

they weren't booing, they were asking for jobs at Booooo-ring

even chappelle was booing

Man goes to doctor, says woke mind virus must be defeated. Doctor says treatment is simple, great clown Dave Chappelle is in town tonight, go and see him. Man bursts into tears, says, but doctor, I am elon musk

Hey Elon, if it was 90% cheers then why did you stand there like an ass, helpless, until you walked off the stage humiliated?

Reminds of the time we opened for papa roach and limp bizkit

genuinely funny that Musk genuinely did not anticipate getting booed like that and therefore had no response to it. just letting the boos win

also funny that they're nuking the accounts posting the videos which makes it abundantly clear to people that Elon is embarrassed by this before they've even seen the videos

Fake boos!

hes over confident from the media cupping his ball ten years straight and becoming the richest man in the world, thinks he can do no wrong, as evidenced by all of his recent behavior

yeah it's insane that this dude's PR team was able to actually successfully frame him in the media as the one selfless billionaire doing cool new stuff and he threw it all away to be Ian Miles Cheong's top reply guy (along with 44 billion dollars lmao)

"this tweet contains potentially sensitive content" jesus christ just take the L man

Twitter Files Part 56231: The Elon Booing Event Decision

"Internal communications show Twitter employees worried that their boss would become emotional and 'fire everyone' if the video was not suppressed."

notable that he was pitched as saving humanity via electric cars and rocket ships and now hes saving humanity by combating the woke mind virus, his whole schtick is so superficial, and it worked beautifully, when primarily directed at the business press lol

Chappelle should pivot to working corporate events exclusively

chapelle in his prime wouldve absolutely cooked musk if given the opportunity now hes like hey the richest man in the world my friend, sad

(not to say he had perfect politics before just that hed see musk for the nerd he is)

"Are you ready for some COMEDY?! Because I have a surprise for YOU!"

Going absolutely crazy when the stand-up comic I paid to see brings out a weird twitchy rich guy in a leather jacket and has him walk around for a while. The whole crowd chanting "more of this" at deafening volumes.

— David Roth (@david_j_roth) December 12, 2022

pry the yonder?

Mostly sad to see Chappelle not going with the energy of the crowd and turning it into an Elon roast. 'It's mostly the poors up in the cheap seats, sir.'

Elon Musk shouting "I'm rich, bitch," while the sound people at Chappelle's show honk a horn to drown out the boos from the crowd is one of the saddest videos I've ever seen. https://t.co/tJHFRhKU3w pic.twitter.com/SeeLSZG93h

this is elon's corncob moment

i think dave was conflicted cause he kept bringing up the booing which he knows will result in more booing, on an instinctive level he wanted more booing while his conscious mind wanted it to stop, old dave and young dave fight within him

pry the yonder?

open the bag that their phone was locked in, to prevent them from filming and posting part of the performance

Taibbi and Greenwald are soon going to be posting about the scourge of people illegally filming comedy performances

how it doesnt work haha

XPost, missed the chance to say:

“I was saying Boo-lon!”

I was saying "Booo-ring company"

I just have to wonder, like...is any of this ongoing manic episode a net positive for him? He may be solidifying support among his most ardent fanboys and maybe attracting a little bit more human slime to his side, but otherwise he just seems to be intensely broadcasting his unpleasantness to the world and actively repelling a lot of people who previously had little-to-no opinion of him whatsoever. It basically just doesn't make sense on any human level. But that applies to an awful lot of human behavior from the past half decade+ so what the hell do I even know about anything anymore.

kind of nice we can stop humoring people who claim Chappelle is anything more than a rich bigoted asshole

he's getting more and more people talking about him, which is what he really wants, even if he won't admit it

it's clear that what these dudes want is to feel important, and elon's way of doing that (everyone is talking about elon!) is probably less harmful than his peers who think they're influencing the tilt of the world by doing shadowy garbage behind the scenes

Elon, that is. Dave's just a lost cause at this point

Chappelle's fans understand the concept of "punching up" better than he does

Maybe Elon paid him to let him come out on stage.

Chris Rock came out too apparently. Weird, wild stuff.

I think Rock and Chappelle are touring together?

Thanks all... I clearly haven't been to a big show in a while...

lolll

Out at the comedy show having the time of my life with the 90% of the crowd cheering. They're all just out of frame, not booing pic.twitter.com/yGjqQOCTgJ

Where's Whiney?

Yeah I was gonna say i am expecting Whiney to pop in to remind us that Chapelle has been bringing publicity-hounding robber barons on stage to flatter their vanity since the 80s and why are we freaking out about it now

I'm so, so, so tired of this man

Now he's tweeting that he must have upset the "Branch Covidians," either not knowing or caring that that phrase was invented to refer to anti-mask anti-vax invermectin cultists. But typical of Musk in taking somebody else's wordplay and getting it wrong at the same time.

ivermectin, sorry. Invermectin is a small Scottish town.
