Comedian Dave Chappelle had a present final night time on the Chase Center in San Francisco, the place he introduced out wildly unpopular Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who walked onstage to a loud refrain of “boos.” According to SFGate, Chappelle additionally apparently requested Musk to unban his pal Talib Kweli from Twitter. With Kweli standing about 5 ft away from Musk, the CEO needed to agree.
Kweli was banned from Twitter in 2020 after “repeated violations of the Twitter rules,” which consisted of him repeatedly harassing a 24-year-old pupil and activist named Maya Moody. In August, Kweli sued the feminist information web site Jezebel for “emotional distress” following a 2020 story titled “Talib Kweli’s Harassment Campaign Shows How Unprotected Black Women Are Online and Off.”
Meanwhile, Musk spent a lot of the weekend behaving like a far-right troll, mocking everybody from transgender and nonbinary folks to public-health officers. “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,” he tweeted on December 11. “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters,” he tweeted Monday morning after being booed off stage.
When Twitter person James Yu tweeted that many of the stadium was booing at Musk, the embattled CEO insisted that “Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter). It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh.”
