Elon Musk Booed By Crowd As Dave Chappelle Invites Him On Stage During Comedy Gig
At the end of the show, Dave Chappelle talked about the importance of getting along with people who have different viewpoints and perspectives and effectively communicating with them.
During his stand-up comedy routine, Dave Chappelle encouraged the audience to "make some noise for the world's richest man."
They did that. A significant amount of booing.
Elon Musk, the newly acquired owner of Twitter, made an appearance at Chappelle's performance with Chris Rock on Sunday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco. It was a slightly awkward experience for Musk.

The billionaire obliged, wearing an "I Love Twitter" T-shirt. Loud boos filled the arena ¨C along with some cheers, too.
"Sounds like some of those people you fired," Chappelle joked to Musk.
As the boos continued to ring out, the comic pointed out, "All you people booing, and I'm just pointing out the obvious ¡ª are in terrible seats."
Twitter has been going through massive changes since Musk took over the social media platform.

The first few weeks of tenure saw widespread layoffs and the restoration of several blocked accounts, including those of former president Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie TaylorGreene.
The other performers from the night, including Rock, Donnell Rawlings from "Chappelle's Show" and the hip hop group Black Star, came up on stage to say goodnight, while Musk also remained on stage.
In real time, Elon Musk had the account that posted the video of him being booed at the Dave Chappelle gig¡

Chappelle asked Musk to repeat Rawlings' catchphrase from their classic show ¨C "I'm rich b¡ª-" Rawlings went first, and then Musk complied.
That's when Chappelle asked the crowd not to boo Musk as he needed him to open up the first comedy club on Mars.
He also asked Musk if he could help Black Star's Talib Kweli, who Chappelle said had been banned from Twitter.
Good morning to everyone who booed the fuck out of Elon Musk https://t.co/k8ajEC3ZdZ

Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion in October, responded by saying: "Twitter customer service here."
He stayed onstage and shook hands with many of the performers.
Attendees had been required to lock up their phones during the show, but a few videos of the encounter made their way online.
