Elon Musk struggles to speak amid crowd boos at Dave Chappelle Show
Twitter deletes video, but audience ‘secretly’ capture scene of booing on phones
San Francisco: Elon Musk, Twitter’s new head, was booed loudly by the crowd as he got on the stage during the Dave Chappelle Show in the city recently.
As the comedian welcomed Musk on stage and asked the crowd to ‘make some noise for the richest man in the world’, some people in the audience cheered, but their sound was overshadowed by boos by the others, the footage posted on Twitter revealed, reports India Today.
Chappelle joked, following the reaction by the audience, saying, “It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience… All these people who are booing, and I’m just pointing out the obvious, you have terrible seats.”
Also, every word and action by Musk only drew more booing. Since the jeering continued as Musk paced on the stage and even at every instance that he tried to speak, a visibly frustrated Musk asked Chappelle what he should say.
Gizmodo has reported that the video was deleted from Twitter, but the publication had shared a link to the video. In addition, although the audience is not permitted to carry phones to the event, some people secretly carried phones and captured videos of Musk being mocked at the event.

Once the victim arrived at the lodge, she would ask him to take a shower.
While the man was inside the bathroom, she would allegedly lock the door from outside and flee with his mobile phone, cash and car keys, Belagavi Police Commissioner Bhushan Gulabrao Borase said.
Police said some of the incidents were captured on the lodge's CCTV cameras. The accused would later call the victim from another phone number and allegedly demand money, threatening to lodge a police complaint if the victim refused to pay.
A case has been registered at the Tilakwadi Police Station in Belagavi. A police team led by Inspector Parashuram Poojari arrested the accused during the investigation.
Police have seized property worth approximately Rs 32.86 lakh from the accused. The seized items include cars, 11 mobile phones, a tablet, a dongle, three car keys and Rs 14,000 in cash, the senior police officer said.
Further investigation into the case is underway, and efforts are on to trace the absconding accomplice, police added.
"The recovered items will be returned to the rightful owners. Shivanand is still absconding and will be secured very soon. He was earlier arrested in Bengaluru by the Bengaluru Police. We are currently working out to find how many people have been targeted by them," the officer added.
