In this week’s viral moment of ‘Twitter isn’t real life’ Elon Musk got booed off the stage during fellow transphobe Dave Chappelle’s comedy show. Maybe the crowd was filled with some of the thousands of out-of-work tech people in the Bay Area job market, including 50% of Twitter’s workforce. Or maybe even those able to afford a Dave Chappelle ticket think that Elon is a Twitter tyrant and a weirdo. As it happens, freedom of speech means freedom to boo the richest man on earth and no 90% of the audience isn’t bots or trolls.
Either way, after the world’s richest son of an apartheid emerald mine showed up on stage, the comedian and the billionaire were greeted with a chorus of boos that swelled each time the South African attempted to act like a human being. After about 10 minutes of this, Chappelle and Musk both seemed to be rather flummoxed, and Musk left the stage shortly after.
