Twitter owner and megabillionaire Elon Musk received a not-so-warm reception after being trotted out onstage during pal Chappelle’s stand-up set at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
as a special guest. What he didn’t anticipate, however, was how much his fans — especially those in a city famously known for its technological innovation — absolutely loathe him. “You shut the fuck up with your boos,” Chappelle told the crowd, which ping-ponged between cheering and booing whenever Musk would stop or start talking.
“My first reaction when he stepped foot on stage was, ‘Oh wow. This guy,’” Chappelle fan Chris Douglas told. “As for the boos, let’s just say it outweighed the cheers. It was like the Chase Center turned into the Apollo.” He added: “I was just in shock. I didn’t applaud or partake in the booing. I was completely neutral.”
Online, descriptions of the crowd reaction heavily veered toward a brutal evisceration by way of booing, but some fans who were present found it a little more difficult to get a clear read on the atmosphere of the arena. “Some people booed and others cheered when Chappelle introduced him,” Claudia Alfaro shared. “I think Chappelle didn’t quite read the room or maybe wanted a shock factor. Either way, it just didn’t make sense to have Elon up there unable to handle the situation himself.
