Dave Chappelle And Elon Musk Booed For Being.... Well!

Not so kind to Dave and Elon.

Dave Chappelle, Kanye West and Elon Musk are being cancelled, whether they like it or not. It is the noise that they are screaming and promoting. It is a great ground game from activists tired of bullshit from folks who have power.

Washed Up 45, Ron DeSantis, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson and far right extremists praise them for having "courage" to stand up against "wokeism."

Chappelle brought out Musk at a San Francisco show and he was roundly booed and heckled. Chappelle was booed as well for even thinking about bringing out Musk.

The comedian welcomed the tech billionaire and Twitter owner to the Chase Center stage Sunday night. Videos of Musk’s appearance have circulated online.

“Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world,” Chappelle said, according to one video shared online by an account that no longer exists as of Monday morning.

The crowd erupted in cheers, which was quickly overwhelmed with audible cries of “boo!” as Musk, sporting an "I love Twitter" shirt, waved to the arena.

“Cheers and boos, I see,” Chappelle said as Musk shrugged to the audience.

“Controversy, buddy. It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience,” the comedian said to the laughter of the crowd and Musk.

Shortly after taking over Twitter, Musk's team announced widespread layoffs at the company in November. He has faced intense scrutiny over his leadership and position over loose content moderation policies.

“Dave, what should I say?” Musk asked at one point on stage.

James Yu, who was in the audience, tweeted: “A good 80% of the stadium boos. 18k people. And he withers. Like absolutely turns into a corncob.”

Yu noted that Musk didn't say much during his time on stage.

"Dave gave him so many chances to speak but he just put his hands in his pockets," Yu wrote. "I actually felt bad for him. I’m by no means an Elon fanboy, more a centrist. I wanted to shake him: for the love of god man, say something and pretend it’s a tweet!!"

Musk's on Monday shared his recollection of the audience's reaction.

"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," he tweeted.

Chappelle, like Musk, is no stranger to controversy. He faced fierce criticism over his comments about the transgender community in a Netflix special released last year. Hundreds of LGBTQ activists and Netflix workers marched outside the company’s Los Angeles headquarters to protest the special after its release.
