Musk booed by gamers chanting ‘Bring back Twitter’
When Musk is briefly shown on camera during the broadcast of the Valorant World Championship Final, the crowd of gamers boos, prompting a surprised reaction from the event’s announcers, who did not address Musk’s roughly four-second appearance on camera. The crowd then shouts “Bring back Twitter!. Organiusers:
Where is that from? That can’t be from in here, surely?
Musk later laughed off the incident, describing the booing crowd members as “unhinged leftists.”

Musk booed at Chappelle show
At the San Francisco stop on his joint tour with Chris Rock, Chappelle brings Musk on to the stage as a special guest…
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world!
…to loud boos and cheers from the 18,000 people in the audience. Chappelle:
It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience…You shut the f*ck up with your boos.
Turns out Twitter can, in fact, be real life. https://t.co/FFpups1yEy pic.twitter.com/41jcZgdDR4

During the few minutes that he was on stage, Musk deferred to Chappelle for instruction on how to handle the negative reactions, asking: “What should I say?” to which Chappelle said: “Don’t say nothing, it’ll only spoil the moment. You hear that sound, Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest.” In an attempt to cut through the awkwardness, Musk borrowed a line from Chappelle’s Show, yelling, “I’m rich, bitch!”
Musk, in a deleted tweet, later claimed that the cheering to booing ratio was 90% cheers to 10% boos.
But, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life. It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh.
