Elon Musk , the billionaire who wants nothing more in liveliness than to be adored by legions of fans , was loudly hiss by a bunch in San Francisco on Sunday night after he was invited onstage by comedian Dave Chappelle . And the footage is pretty rough , even if you do n’t particularly like Musk .
“ Lady and gentlemen , make some noise for the fat human race in the humans , ” Chappelle say near the end of his set at the Chase Center .
The crowd flare up into a mix of cheers and snort , before the boos intelligibly won out , fit in to footage mail onTwitter . [ Update , 6:40 a.m. ET : The footage appears to have been deleted from Twitter for some grounds , but you may still observe itbelow . ] The booing beat louder as Musk cheat on around onstage with a microphone in deal . Musk get going pacing and waving , distinctly shy what to do about such a negative response .

“ Cheers and boos , I see . Elon … ” Chappelle said .
“ Hey Dave , ” Musk responded , prompting another wafture of boos from the crowd .
“ It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience , ” Chappelle joked .
“ All these citizenry who are boo , and I ’m just pointing out the obvious , you have terrible seats , ” Chappelle said , apparently trying to save Musk ’s gravitas by call the people who are booing pitiable .
Phones were n’t allowed inside the sports stadium for the show , but at least one person pinch theirs in and captured the bizarre exchange , posting it to Twitter .
Chappelle tried to salvage the brush , according to asecond videoposted to Twitter , joking , “ his whole business enterprise exemplar is ass Earth , I ’m leaving anyway . ” [ Update : you could watch ithere . ]
“ What kind of pussy they start out up there ? That ’s what we ’ll be doing , ” Chappelle say , fit in to the picture .
After Chappelle ’s joke about “ titty bar ” in space , the gang seemed to be properly won over and Musk started to talk again .
“ Thanks for feature me up on stage , ” Musk say awkwardly to more raspberry .
“ The first comedy golf club on Mars … . ” Chappelle said , as Musk stood by awkwardly just say “ yeah . ”
As the laugh for Chappelle ’s jokes would get drown out by boos anytime Musk tried to talk , the comedian allege that people could boo all they want , because Musk had given him a jetpack last Christmas .
But every single time Musk begin to speak , the crowd started booing again , much to the frustration of Musk .
“ Dave , what should I say ? ” Musk sound out , distinctly do-or-die and get mortified at the thunder of booing .
“ Do n’t say nothing . It ’ll only spoil the moment , ” Chappelle enunciate . “ Do you hear that sound , Elon ? That ’s the sound of pending civil unrest . I ca n’t wait to see what store you decimate next , motherfucker . You keep out the fuck up . ”
The climate in the stadium definitely changed when Chappelle start to get uncongenial in defense of Musk .
“ I wish everyone in this auditorium peace and the joyfulness of feeling free , ” Chappelle said , distinctly sap that bringing Musk on stage had been such a loser . “ And your pursuit of happiness . Amen . ”
At that point , Chappelle distinctly decided to throw in the towel , thanking the crowd and say good Nox , but athird videoshows Chris Rock joining the stagecoach along with a few other multitude . [ Update : you’re able to see ithere . ]
One of the men onstage is asked by Chappelle to shout the catch phrase from his 2000s sketch show , “ I ’m rich , bitch , ” into the mic . The gentleman’s gentleman dutifully complies , then enunciate , “ wait , wait , ” while hand the microphone to Musk , clear need him to say the same thing . Musk does , in the most awkward tone you could imagine . The crowd again erupts into boos , only drowned out by someone in the stadium ’s sound department honking a horn of some form .
It ’s difficult to separate from the videos incisively what percentage of the gang was boo during the cringeworthy installment , but some on social media estimated it was the Brobdingnagian majority of masses in 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 hoot . 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 founder of Sudowrite , said on Twitter .
“ Obv easy to armchair play afterwards , but at least say something . ‘ Thanks . Now pay me $ 8′ and mic drop would have get a jape . He did mumble something about being in a simulation , but felt totally off vibration for the crowd , ” Yu explain .
Musk , who used to have a rather bipartisan appeal in the U.S. , has outed himself as an entitled right - wing prick in the myopic span that he ’s owned Twitter . Musk corrupt Twitter , along with a routine of investors , for $ 44 billion at the end of October when he almost right away instigated unrelenting layoffs .
Musk has also been trying to court some of the speculative mass on the internet latterly , tweeting over the weekend that his “ pronouns ” are “ Prosecute / Fauci . ” The tweet is evidently both a “ put-on ” about citizenry who are trans , and a reference point to the far - right field belief that Anthony Fauci , the state ’s leading infectious disease expert , was somehow creditworthy for the covid-19 pandemic that struck the intact human race .
Obviously , San Francisco is known as a liberal metropolis and it would n’t be a Brobdingnagian surprise for a Bay Area crowd together to boo the wealthiest human in the world . But it ’s not like this was a crew of antifa supersoldiers or something . The people in attending were there to see Dave Chapelle , a man who ’s recently outed himself as an anti - trans bigot . Chris Rock was also a star , grant to the local press .
Maybe the crowd was made up of the chiliad of people Musk laid off from Twitter , as Chappelle joked . That for sure seems like a very real hypothesis , return the reaction . But aboveboard , Musk has been such an cocksucker for so many dissimilar reasons lately , it ’s sturdy to constrict it down . Musk has also been directing his hostility at former employee , some of whom elected to stay on with the caller after Musk ’s initial purge , likeYoel Roth , the former head of Trust and Safety at Twitter .
Musk made an absolutely groundless proposition that Roth was in favor of the sexualization of children , an plain stratagem to invent his own QAnon mythology that the billionaire is on a pursuit to in person end the exploitation of minor around the world . In realism , Musk has gutted the team at Twitter that monitors for child exploitation stuff , agree toWired UK .
Musk may not confront any real event in his spirit — like when he got away with baselessly callingsomeone a pedophile — given his enormous wealth , but all the money in the macrocosm ca n’t bribe you authentic adoration from crowd of people . Perhaps Musk should stick to his safe infinite on Twitter . He did pay $ 44 billion for it , after all . And he get hatful of love from weird dweeb who want nothing more than to be in proximity to his wealth , even if it ’s digital . Unfortunately for Musk , the Chase Center in San Francisco does n’t have ablock button .
