Elon Musk responds after getting heavily booed at Dave Chappelle’s gig
Elon Musk has finally responded after getting heavily booed at Dave Chappelle’s recent concert.
The comedian welcomed the Twitter boss on stage last night (11 December) during a gig at California's Chase Center in San Francisco.

Chappelle told the audience to 'make some noise for the richest man in the world', and while some of the crowd cheered him on, it was then followed with a wave of boos.
"All those people who are booing have terrible seats," the comedian joked.
“Look, motherf**kers — this n**** isn’t even tryna die on Earth," he continued.
“His whole business model is ‘F**k Earth, I’m leaving anyway'.
“You n***** can boo all you want, this n**** gave me a jet pack last Christmas.”
The Tesla CEO has now responded to the incident in the most Elon Musk way possible.
He tweeted: "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,” he added.
One person who claimed to be at the show commented: "I was there. Elon was shocked into silence. 'What should I do, Dave? It’s like we are in a simulation'. He simply could not process people holding him accountable for his actions."
Musk was recently called out for saying that pronouns shouldn't be forced on people.
It began with NASA astronaut Scott Kelly telling Musk to not make jokes about pronouns.
"Elon, please don’t mock and promote hate toward already marginalized and at-risk-of-violence members of the #LGBTQ+ community," he wrote.
"They are real people with real feelings. Furthermore, Dr Fauci is a dedicated public servant whose sole motivation was saving lives."
Musk replied: "I strongly disagree. Forcing your pronouns upon others when they didn’t ask, and implicitly ostracizing those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone."
In the second part of his tweet, the Twitter boss mentioned Dr Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
"As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo," Musk alleged.
Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine, slammed Musk for his comments, and said: "For the record: Dr. Fauci has done nothing wrong, except serve our nation.
"In the meantime, Mr. Musk should know that 200,000 Americans needlessly lost their lives from Covid due to this kind of antiscience rhetoric and disinformation. Elon, I’m asking you to take down this Tweet."
UNILAD have contacted the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for comment.
