Imagine how shitty you have to be to get booed by people who are still willing to pay money to go see Dave Chapelle

@evangreer This was my thought exactly when I saw the video!

Jonathan Glick

@evangreer you’re right, but I guess that’s why Elon thought he would be well-received

David Harlan

@Jonathanglick @evangreer

he's deluded himself into thinking he's funny

when he doesn't realize that one of the things sycophants are paid for is to laugh at all of your jokes

Jonathan Glick

@DavidMHarlan @evangreer The reason I found his decision to get on a stage in SF so weird is that — putting all the politics aside — he’s recently fired tons of San Franciscans and positioned himself as a kind of mean Scrooge boss character. You’d assume he’d be aware of how that would translate to a large crowd.

David Harlan

@Jonathanglick @evangreer

oh but there's that vast swath of conservative voices that Twitter silenced, they're just out there waiting for him

Kirsty

@Jonathanglick @evangreer @DavidMHarlan then maybe he needs to head down to middle America

chaelyc

@evangreer assuming that man possesses any shred of self awareness was the first mistake

Hugs4friends ♾🇺🇦 🇵🇸😷

@Jonathanglick Never assume an hubristic billionaire possesses any kind of awareness of his actions being seen as negative. He would view the booers as lacking a sense of humour...not as a
critique of his impromptu stand-up.🙄 @DavidMHarlan @evangreer

TurboQuokka

@Jonathanglick @evangreer The fact that he likely assumed he’d be treated like a god just makes it even funnier.

Alcestuous

@evangreer I guess the Blind Black Klansman skit was more aspirational than parody.

@evangreer Felon Muskolini is about as popular as the proverbial turd in the punch bowl.

red0ran

@John_G_R_Wilson @evangreer Musk stans be like "this is an excellent punch, sir, truly the best drink I've imbibed. Anyone saying otherwise is just jealous that they can't drink this. If you dropped another kid in the pool it would be incredible."

@evangreer
Imagine how shitty you have to be to get booed by people who are still willing to pay money to go see Dave Chapelle - and the very next day when people start laughing at your situation, you state clearly that 90% were not boos at all they were cheering, then remove every instance of the video you can find on your newly made propaganda site.

"Im Rich, Bitches", is not the battle cry Musk thought it was...

Moth

@LaNaehForaday "you state clearly that 90% were not boos at all they were cheering" I seem to recall a story similar to this but it was about crowd size hmm...

Monica Rooney

@evangreer @leigh it’s even more hilarious that he’s accusing those people of being woke. Sure. “Woke” people paying money for Chapelle.

Dr Ro Smith

@monicarooney @evangreer @leigh my thought exactly. Oh yeah, the lefty wokes who go to Dave Chapelle shows...

DELETED

@evangreer Imagine what will happen if he ventures into an open public square?

TurboQuokka

@ariegoldshlager @evangreer Maybe someone will make our dreams come true and give him the ol’ Richard Spencer.

Neminem

@evangreer

If shitty ppl booed, actually it can be an honour tho. It's all about who did the boo. Why would anyone feel shitty if the boo is done by ppl who have no particular value?

Depending how much they paid, I'd take a job like that. Pay and boo me until tomorrow, I don't care. 🤣🤣🤣

Thierna

@evangreer there were many people clapping, and in the video even laughing about people getting fired

Sean Macツ

@evangreer lol! yep. this was my first thought this morning 😂👌

Liz Ellis She/Her🌳

@evangreer I'd hoped this was about Ricky Gervais, but this is also good

@DwntwnT @evangreer Most of his career over the past ten years has been spent repeating ridiculously transphobic horseshit thinly disguised as “jokes”.

Ariel

@DwntwnT @evangreer He said some really transphobic shit in his Netflix special last year, and has continued to double down on it everytime he gets called out on it, and acts like he's being 'cancelled.'

Sean Lake: famous ballet :bc:

@DwntwnT @evangreer He has unfortunately incorporated transphobic rhetoric into his comedy of late. I think it was his Netflix special The Closer where he talked, perhaps without entirely understanding but also without having done enough to try to understand, about JK Rowling getting canceled. He stated that he is in favor of TERFs, transphobes who try to present anti-trans bigotry as if it’s feminism. Things got worse as he repeatedly doubled down on the matter. I think there have been other complaints, but I’m not keeping track. I was never part of his target audience.

If you’d like a thoughtful and nuanced breakdown of the situation which doesn’t ignore Dave Chappelle’s importance as a comedian or shy away from the influence of racism on his career and decisions, without going to the other extreme and underplaying the harm he’s now doing, I’d highly recommend F.D Signifier’s video essay about him. youtu.be/S42DJr95Dfw

Seanlee

@evangreer those people booting probably got fired by Elon so no big surprise.

Frans Super 🇺🇦🇵🇸🍋[fckpvv]

@evangreer O wow, is that really a thing in America? I’d rather be booed for such a thing than be hailed for booing you, hahaha!

Idwthama

@evangreer he continues to deny as per his reaction tweet. Booed online, booed irl but still think he's right... Grandeur and decadence, he became an ambarassement to his companies.

Kirsty

@evangreer didn’t he move Tesla out of California to Texas?

Joe Calhoun

@evangreer Right?! That was the thing I found surprising. I mean, there are a lot of shitty tech bros in SF which would explain the Chappelle show, but you’d think that would be an audience that would also like Elmo. Maybe they see themselves at risk because of all the layoffs at Twitter?

Amy 🧚‍♀️

@evangreer he said "Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos ... It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh." Yeah I'm sure heaps of hardcore leftists we're paying to see Dave Chappelle 😂

Marcia Darling

@evangreer @amyanshawnye a good example of self-gaslighting. I wonder what it's like not to live in reality?

Mike Flugennock

@evangreer Yeah, shit; that's what I'M thinking — dude went to a goddamn Dave Chappelle gig and was BOOED?

Palin

@evangreer
Imagine Dave Chappelle being so stupid as to promote that Fascist shtbag...
I used to like Dave Chappelle..
No more !!

Bathman

@evangreer DC lives about 40 miles north of me in Trump land. He’s been teetering on this provocative right wing bs for a while. If you watch the clip, this in NO WAY went the way he thought it would. The pre written jokes he had about Musk didn’t land (P*ssy in Space?) and EM wandering around the stage with his thumb up his butt asking Dave what to do- it’s not going to change anything, but at least “Emperor Musk” got a peek at his bare ass in the mirror!
