Elon Musk was drowned out by boos when he joined Dave Chappelle onstage at a gig in San Francisco — and laughed off the snub Monday as the cries of “unhinged leftists” he’d recently “offended.”
Musk, 51, made the surprise appearance at the Chase Center late Sunday after Chappelle asked his audience to “make some noise for the richest man in the world” — the title the Tesla boss and Twitter owner has just regained.
Wearing an “I love Twitter” T-shirt, Musk then held his hands up in apparent confusion as Chappelle noted the loud “cheers and boos.”
As the hostility grew louder, Musk told the comedian: “You weren’t expecting this were ya?”
“It sounds like some of them people you fired are in the audience,” Chappelle, 49, then joked of Musk’s brutal axings just a few miles away at Twitter’s Silicon Valley HQ.
Chappelle — who has resisted his own backlash for jokes about the transgender community — then quipped that “all those people who are booing … have terrible seats.”
“Look, motherf–kers — this n—er isn’t even tryna die on Earth,” Chappelle joked of Musk and his dreams of moving people to Mars.
“His whole business model is ‘F–k Earth, I’m leaving anyway,” Chappelle said, pretending that his guest offered to give him “the first comedy club on Mars.”
“You n—ers can boo all you want — this n—er gave me a jet pack last Christmas,” the comedian quipped, getting a rare burst of laughter from the time Musk was onstage.
During his brief appearance, Musk even relived Chappelle’s notorious Rick James skit — shouting to the already displeased crowd: “I’m rich, bitch!”
Musk, in a tweet on Monday, directly acknowledged the hostile response from some in the crowd, while noting that there had also been support.

He is shaking things up.
Chappelle has always used bad language.
The “I’m rich bitch” was actually Ashy Larry and not Chappelle...(reparations sketch)
The left is upset because he tells the truth.
Same reason these people don’t like LibsofTikTok.
These people are simply evil humans. If they get power, what they would do to people would make Mengele blush.
The language comes with Chappelle. That’s how he works.
Look at those they cheer for....
That’s the Chapelle venue. Gotta keep it real, ya’ know?
Elon is touched a nerve with the left and I for one and grinning like a Cheshire cat.
I think the intended reference was to Chappelle’s Rick James skit, “I’m Rick James, bitch!”
If he is being booed in San FranFECESco he is doing something right..they hate Elon but they sure do love their crime and feces
No doubt evil stochastic terry wrist extermists militia types.
What I find funny and interesting is he doesn’t care does he?
He owns Twitter and feels he can use the platform to hit back if he has to.
Similar to what Trump did.
I like it....
The Left REALLY hates people who expose their hypocrisy and/or have views that contradict their dogma.
Musk triggers them big time.
I believe Musk has what we call “Eff You Money”. 😊 I don’t think he cares if people boo. 😁
What I find funny and interesting is he doesn’t care does he?

Like Trump, Musk could care less what the Left thinks. That distinguishes them from the weak and fearful Republicans who studiously avoid any and all controversy.
I agree. He certainly knows how to make headlines.
There is no doubt Musk knew this would be the reaction in SF. The man is troll level 1 million. Its hilarious.
