On Sunday night, Dave Chappelle performed at the Chase Center in San Francisco and surprised the crowd by bringing Twitter owner Elon Musk on stage.
Chappelle said to the audience, "Make some noise for the richest man in the world," and they obliged.
The crowd audibly shared their disappointment in Musk.
He was met with loud booing.
According to one person at the show, Musk visibly "withered" upon enduring the audience's jeering.
\u201cWas at the Dave Chapelle show at SF tonight and who comes on but Elon Musk! \n\nA good 80% of the stadium boos. 18k people. and he withers. Like absolutely turns into a corncob. \n\n\u201cWhat should I say??\u201d He says\n\nDave tries to salvage the situation but to no avail\u201d— james yu (@james yu) 1670829489
Chappelle joked:
"It sounds like some of those people you fired are in the audience."
He, of course, was referring to the roughly half of Twitter's workforce Musk eliminated upon his acquisition of the company.
In a video posted to social media, Musk can be heard asking Chappelle:
"You weren't expecting this were you?"
Chappelle then quipped:
"Have you noticed one thing?"
"All those people who are booing, and I'm just pointing out the obvious, they have terrible seats."
You can see the video below.
\u201c@elonmusk Are you upset about being booed by thousands of people? Did you realize you can't buy respect and admiration? Did you go home and cry about it and tweet this? \n\nhttps://t.co/2DFlp8o3Kh\u201d— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1670847932
Viewers were certainly entertained, but not at all surprised.
\u201cY\u2019all can\u2019t really be shocked by that Dave Chappelle-Elon Musk story. You just can\u2019t be! Not when he\u2019s shown us who he is time and time again.\u201d— Tre'vell Anderson (@Tre'vell Anderson) 1670865107
\u201cLast night Elon Musk was booed by a HUGE crowd at a Dave Chappelle show in San Francisco.\n\nThis will have me laughing all day.\u201d— Jack Cocchiarella (@Jack Cocchiarella) 1670858776

\u201c@elonmusk Elon Musk booed heavily after Dave Chappelle invited him onstage last night. \n\nDave Chappelle: \u201cTough road ahead sounds like.\u201d \n\nElon Musk: \u201cI know.\u201d \n\nElon just learned that Twitter is real-life.\u201d— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1670854891
A crowd of people who wanted to see Dave Chappelle tell jokes didn't want to hear from Elon, a guy who's spent the better part of the last few months turning Twitter into his own personalized open mic night, that should tell you something.

Musk, however, heard something different.
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.

Many have noted, though, that the video is being removed from accounts - and some accounts are being removed altogether.
\u201cSomeone posted a video of Elon Musk getting aggressively booed in front of the friendliest possible audience (a Dave Chappelle show in San Francisco) and apparently \u201cSomething went wrong\u201d with their account\u201d— Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation (@Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation) 1670845429
\u201cThe videos of @elonmusk being booed at the Dave Chappelle gig are being removed and fast as they are posted.\n#FreeSpeech\u201d— Michael Ryan (@Michael Ryan) 1670844578
\u201cElon Musk got booed at a Dave Chappelle concert last night. The guy who posted the video on Twitter has his account removed. This isn\u2019t about free speech for Elon Musk, it\u2019s about control. #elonmusk #davechappelle #twitter #freespeech\u201d— Donald (@Donald) 1670853041

There was a video of it I commented on about 2 hours ago, its gone now and the account that posted it just nuked from the face of the earth. Guess Musk isn't happy about it.

Between all the celebrities leaving Twitter in droves, advertisers avoiding Twitter like the plague and all the accounts being removed, one has to wonder how long Twitter will survive.
