Elon Musk Booed Off Stage at Dave Chappelle Show in SF

Every once in awhile something delicious happens to someone who really deserves it. And this time it happened to one of the most insufferable people on earth, Elon Musk.

On Sunday night Dave Chappelle performed at the Chase Center in San Francisco. At one point during the set he called Elon Musk to the stage saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world.”

But it did not go how Chappelle and Musk expected.

While Musk was greeted a smattering of cheers, the vast majority booed him so much that he could hardly get a word in.

Chappelle  reacted by saying, “It sounds like some of those people you fired are in the audience.”

See the video here:

Another person who was at the show, James Yu, noted, “A good 80% of the stadium boos. 18k people. and he withers.”

But personally, my favorite is that for a little bit this morning, “Boo urns” was trending on Twitter. If you don’t get the “Boo urns” reference check this out.

Of course Elon Musk being the narcissist he is only had this to say:
