When Dave Chappelle isn’t taking shots at trans people, the supposed anti-establishment comedian is hanging out with one of the richest men in the world. For all of the grandstanding and posturing that Chappelle has done throughout his career over being against the “elite” and the “industry”, he found immense comfort in ponying up to Musk during his surprise appearance at Chappelle’s San Fransisco show. The comedian was able to fire off a few punch lines while Musk stood there, blubbering and uncomfortable, but that didn’t stop the two from retreating backstage as boos continued to fill the arena.
Musk has taken to his own app to insist that he wasn’t being owned in a series of deleted tweets, claiming that it was “90% boos to 10% cheers” and that “a large fight broke out in the audience right when he took the stage”.
Hopefully this becomes a growing trend whenever Musk finds himself in front of an audience.
