Elon Musk booed off stage at a Dave Chappelle show

At one point, when Musk attempted to speak, Chappelle interrupted, saying, “Don’t say nothing. You hear that sound, Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest.

 

After more jeers, Chappelle ended his show with a reprimand and a prayer.

 

Booing is not the best thing you can do,” he said. “I wish everybody in this auditorium the joy of feeling free and may your pursuit of happiness set you free. Amen.”

And, of course, Chappelle's comment about the booing shows it's false that  90% were cheering Musk according to himself.

    Musk is a narcissist, he cares very much about being ridiculed and booed.

  • Good to see musk is being seen for what he is. Not that I care too much for chappelle, but interesting to see that members of an audience that is tolerant of his so called humour, don’t like m

  • Musk seemed rather surprised that he was being booed.  It's the same for many of these "darling of the right" characters.  People like MTG, Trump, Kari Lake, etc.  They surround themselves with like-m

Of course Musk is too busy, to busy claiming it was technically only 10% of the crowd who booed.............lol 

 

"Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter).
It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh."

Although I can't find that on his feed now, perhaps he's deleted it as he does so many of his own tweets?

 

 

 

 

I've seen the video and it's difficult to tell how much of the crowd is booing.

 

A small minority are capable of making a lot of noise, as this forum shows daily. Similarly, empty vessels make the most noise.

 

To be honest, I probably wouldn't have booed him but I wouldn't have been that impressed to see him on the stage if I had paid to see Dave Chappelle. It was a bad move IMO. Obviously if I'd been a typical Californian (SF) lefty Dem I'd have booed him and then rejoiced and claimed that everyone was booing.

Anybody who can't distinguish booing from cheering needs to get their hearing checked.

I've seen the vids too and I would not have front to claim........."Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods),

 

At least he admits in quiet periods it was more than that................lol

 

Which it clearly was, especially when he shouted out "I'm a rich bitch"

Yes it was a stupid comment when he shouldn't have even been on the stage. A poor decision with a predictable outcome, especially in CA.

Maybe that is why he bought Twitter. He can see all the comments from his followers and think: I am a great guy. ????

Just another in a long line of dubious explanations of Musk's conduct. I remember when his fanboys were claiming he was playing 4 dimensional chess when he made the offer to buy Twitter. And that it was really his way of exposing the bot problem there. And that he would never have to go through with it because of the false claims made by Twitter. As it turned out, despite his frantic attempts to get out of the deal, Musk had to pay the full price he offered. Twitter didn't back down one bit.

Not only that, but he's actually stealing from Tesla by taking its software engineers and using them at Twitter. Tesla is a public company. Clearly he's hurting it and its other shareholders in order to bail himself out.

I presume you have links to back up all those accusations?

 

I mean links with real evidence? Not just links to more unsubstantiated gossip...

You mean links that show he's using Tesla engineers at Twitter?

Links that show he's been defended by fanboys on the grounds that he was just using his buyout offer to expose twitter?

Yes. Evidence.

You definitely have been paying no attention to this story:

 

Elon Musk has pulled more than 50 Tesla employees into his Twitter takeover

 

New Twitter  owner Elon Musk has pulled more than 50 of his trusted Tesla  employees, mostly software engineers from the Autopilot team, into his Twitter takeover, CNBC has learned. Musk, who is CEO of automaker Tesla and reusable rocket maker SpaceX, completed the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter on Oct. 28 and made his mark there immediately...

According to internal records viewed by CNBC, employees from Musk’s other companies are now authorized to work at Twitter, including more than 50 from Tesla, two from the Boring Company (which is building underground tunnels) and one from Neuralink (which is developing a brain-computer interface).

Musk’s Shift of 50 Tesla Engineers to Twitter May Have Serious Legal Repercussions

Elon Musk Revamps Twitter With Help From Tesla Staff

Twitter’s new owner often reaches across his business empire to get things done

Elon Musk has leveraged his diverse business empire in his first week owning Twitter Inc., blurring the line between the newly private social-media company and Tesla Inc., TSLA -6.27%decrease; red down pointing triangle the electric-car maker he also runs. 

Tesla engineers were among the first outsiders to begin working on reshaping Twitter after Mr. Musk completed his $44 billion takeover a week ago, part of at least dozens of people added to an internal company directory, according to documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal.

You will never ever get the fact challenged to read links from MSM. They are only interested in the echo chamber.

Sorry, but that doesn't constitute real evidence. The equivalent of "unnamed sources told us". 

What about when Elon says it himself?

 

When questioned whether it was a good idea to use Tesla resources at Twitter, Musk said he "didn't think of this as using Tesla assets." 

"There's 120,000 people at the company. This is de minimis,"

The 50 Tesla engineers who worked for Elon Musk at Twitter weren't "Tesla assets" because they volunteered to work at the company after hours, the billionaire told a Delaware courtroom Wednesday, according to CNBC

When questioned whether it was a good idea to use Tesla resources at Twitter, Musk said he "didn't think of this as using Tesla assets." 

"There's 120,000 people at the company. This is de minimis," he added, using a Latin term meaning something so minor it should be disregarded. He added that the engineers worked at Twitter "for a few days, and then it was over."

Sorry but the claim Twitter is actively censoring videos of Musk getting booed are absolutely ridiculous. Twitter doesn't operate like that any more. It is an honest and fair place now.

It's a boring topic if you ask me ....  I hope TLSA crashes and holders loose millions ....  hahaha ...

now that would be more exciting than this garbage.   imo

So the crowd was just making random noises? Or posing questions about recent developments of a sodium based battery?

Where did you come up with the idea that they were volunteering after hours? From elon musk?

Whether paid or not, it's undeniable that this hurt TSLA shareholders. The company constitution says the board can't do anything to harm their share prices. They clearly have done so. TSLA stock price reflects this.

Because you believe everything Musk says right? Even when it may have serious legal repercussions. Did they just volunteer out of the blue? 

 

Did you also believe it when he said there was going to be zero covid cases in the US by April 2020?

 

Or perhaps you really did believe his now deleted tweet about 90% cheering.......lol

It's hard to reconcile the fact that, up till now, the biggest proportion of Tesla buyers are the very group of "lefties", "greenies" and "liberals" who are the ones most likely to deplore Musk's right wing rants, while his right wing supporters wouldn't be seen dead in an electric car.  He's basically attacking his own purchaser base, so it's no surprise that sooner or later it will turn on him and shop elsewhere.

Tesla approval rating dips into negative territory: survey

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-approval-rating-negative-territory-survey/

What makes Musk's claim about "volunteers" even more unbelievable is that this is the guy who demands hardcore dedication to the job. He has no use for timeservers. Yet somehow, it's okay with him for his employees to spend time at Twitter. Are they doing this instead of sleeping?
