Crowd boos Elon Musk on-stage amid Dave Chappelle comdey gig

 Elon Musk was booed off stage on the comedy show of Dave Chappelle , leaving Twitter chief withering.

As per CNBC, the tech billionaire appeared on stage at a special Punchline Comedy Club event that has met with a mixture of boos and cheers.

In a video shared on Twitter, the crowd can be heard jeering Musk, whose recent purchase of the social media platform has attracted criticism due to concerns about mass layoffs and looser content moderation.

“Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world,” Chappelle tells the audience. A number of audience members cheered — though there was also a loud chorus of boos, too.

“You weren’t expecting this, were you?” Musk tells Chappelle, following the boos.

Chappelle responds: “It sounds like some of those people you fired are in the audience.”

Later in the video, Chappelle says: “All these people that are booing, I’m just pointing out the obvious — they have terrible seats in the stadium.”

The person who tweeted the video appeared to have his account suspended or has taken it down, with a message reading: “This Tweet is from an account that no longer exists.”

Twitter user James Yu, who says he was at the Chappelle show, tweeted: “A good 80% of the stadium boos. 18k people.”

“Dave gave him so many chances to speak, but he just put his hands in his pockets,” Yu added.

“I actually felt bad for him. I’m by no means an Elon fanboy, more of a centrist. I wanted to shake him: for the love of god, man, say something and pretend it’s a tweet!!”
