After he was booed when he made a surprise appearance on stage with Dave Chappelle at Chappelle’s show at the Chase Center in San Francisco Sunday night, Twitter CEO Elon Musk followed by issuing a ringing denunciation of his leftist foes on Monday morning.
When Chappelle introduced Musk, much of the crowd booed, prompting Chappelle to quip, “It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience,” adding, “All of those people who are booing, I’m just pointing out the obvious, they have terrible seats. It’s all coming from way up there.”
Turns out Twitter can, in fact, be real life. https://t.co/FFpups1yEy pic.twitter.com/41jcZgdDR4

Prior to his appearance at Chappelle’s show, Musk had indicated his disdain for the Twitter bots attacking him, tweeting, “Calling all 🤖& 🧌 Please attack me!” followed by “Cool, the bots are so far unable to swarm to the top of my replies!”

In late November, Musk posted a 12-second video of something he found in a closet at Twitter headquarters that revealed a truly leftist perspective.
Musk posted a video of the closet that had shelves stacked with T-shirts as part of Twitter’s merchandising, and showed a shelf filled with black T-shirts reading “#Stay Woke.”
“Here we are at the merch and there is an entire closet full of — ” Musk explained, before someone off-camera added, “secret closet.”
“— Hashtag Woke T-Shirts,” Musk concludes.

Only hours before his tweet showing the woke T-shirts, Musk took aim at his critics, tweeting, “Wasn’t Twitter supposed to die by now or something … ?”
“Maybe we’ve gone to heaven/hell & don’t know it,” he quipped.
These are people afraid of free speech. The left can’t abide people being able to say or hear whatever they want without the left’s control. Damn, they are disgusting shit.
