Elon Musk booed by crowd after Dave Chappelle introduces him on stage

The new Twitter owner, Elon Musk, was booed for almost 10 minutes after he was introduced on stage by comedian Dave Chappelle on Sunday at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

'Ladies and gentleman make some noise for the richest man in the world,' said Chappelle, as Musk walked on stage with his two arms in the air expecting cheers to ring out. The footage, originally posted to Twitter by a deleted account, showed Musk appearing caught off-guard as the crowd booed continuously, preventing him from getting a word in. 'Cheers and boos, I see,' said Chappelle in response to the crowd's reaction. 'It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience,' added the comedian shortly after.

I appreciate the guardian being straightforward, rather than bombarding us with news anchors and constantly replaying segments of the video.

Probably the first time in a while he's in front of an audience that isn't all Tesla interns.

Dude was sweating looking for the block button on stage

For a guy that works 100 hours a week he sure has a lot of free time...

When you go outside and find out that the "omg you win the internet again, sir 😂" crowd never leaves the echo chamber

I'm reading that tell all book about the Twitter buy out and it's hilariously pathetic that the richest man in the world, a man with the money to go anywhere and do anything, literally could not sleep because he got booed by random people in a public stage he chose to walk into for no reason. He truly is the most pathetic excuse of a human being alive right now.

Chappelle: "Make some noise for the richest person in the world!"
Crowd: *boos*
Chappelle: Not that noise

Chappelle is like a wing man trying to set up his best friend with someone at the club, but it backfires horribly.

You know it’s bad when even a Dave Chapelle crowd is booing you

[DovZeev]

Allegedly musk was suicidal after this

[InfinityDz]

I'm glad we're no longer living in a world where everyone fawns about how brilliant Elon is but instead in a world where he gets booed off stage, and the greatest part is that he did it to himself.

Dave Chapelle finally brought on an actual joke.

[Eduardopy]

This is the moment that Elon became a super villain, this is his Homelander moment.

[euming]

C'mon Dave, tell your friend Elon that they weren't booing. They were actually chanting, "booo-urns."

Love how frazzled he is. The man is so deep in an echo chamber that he bought a social media site and he just got a dose of reality.

The crowd is not booing at me, they are booing with me - Elon Musk probably

Musk saying that only around 10% booed him (the poorer people in the nosebleed seats) is like Trump saying that 1.5 million attended his inauguration (250K is closer to the truth).
