Elon Musk seems to be enjoying the blowback from his purchase of Twitter, not skipping a beat despite the naysayers who once predicted Twitter’s doom on Musk’s watch.

So far, nothing close to that has happened, as the bluebird keeps humming right along after Musk basically revamped the entire workforce.
So it really was no surprise that Musk talked a little fun-loving smack to the audience when he made a guest appearance on Dave Chappelle’s standup show.
There were cheers as Musk came onto the stage at the Chase Center in San Francisco — but also more than a few boos mixed in.
“It sounds like some of them people you fired are in the audience,” Chappelle joked.
Musk was wearing a Twitter t-shirt for his appearance, perhaps in the event, anyone forgot which company he now owned. Yes, when you’re a multi-billionaire, you own several companies, the most notable being Tesla for Musk.

Twitter, it seems, really is just a toy for him, or in his words, to make sure the information shared it is fair and balanced.
At any rate, Chappelle urged Musk to spread the message that was a play on Chappelle’s old Rick James skits, and Musk obliged.
“I’m rich, b****,” Musk said.
As for the response from the crowd, Musk seemed unbothered.
“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),” Musk tweeted. “It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh.”
While Musk has always claimed to be in the middle of the road politically, those on the left are saying he is clearly on the right. At least, he sure seems to be now, they say.
Perhaps that is true. We don’t really know for sure.
One thing we do know is he is indeed rich. We’ll leave the rest of that sentence to him.
