People do not seem pleased with Elon Musk. The new Twitter owner that purchased the site for $44 billion vouched for free speech as he reinstated banned accounts of people like Donald Trump and Kanye West. Although Ye’s account had to be canceled again after his continued anti-Semitic comments. But what brought criticism for Musk was not this, but rather the vast amount of changes that Twitter is going through under his ownership.

Musk went on a barrage after he fired a lot of people and started charging for the blue tick verification. Upon attending Dave Chappelle’s show, the businessman went up to the stage and was booed big time. But the comedian handled it rather swiftly.

But there were mixed reactions to seeing the entrepreneur on stage, with some people even booing him. While trying to calm the crowd down, Chappelle commented, “Sounds like some of the people that you fired.” In fact, he called out his own audience and stated how the people booing were the ones occupying terrible seats.

Musk turned to the entertainer for advice on what to say, but the comedian simply replied, “Don’t say anything. It will only spoil the moment. Do you hear that sound, Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest.” The entire video clip was not supposed to exist as cameras were banned from the show, but some of the audience could help capture the whole incident.
