Elon Musk was booed heavily when he was invited on stage by Dave Chappelle last night. He fucked around and is quickly finding out. Sycophantic Twitter users are a small minority. Even Chappelle's transphobic fans don't like this jackass. pic.twitter.com/2DFlp8o3Kh

Elon Musk confirms he was booed last night, says it was a first for him, blames it on “unhinged leftists”. Maybe it was just actually the real world that exists outside his fanboy bubble. pic.twitter.com/zLjCouqQAy

Musk Twitter plans

After buying Twitter in October, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk announced his intention to diversify the company’s revenue stream beyond advertising, turning to new paying formulas for premium features.

A blue checkmark on an account, which indicates it has been verified by Twitter, was previously free but reserved for organisations and public figures in an attempt to avoid impersonation and misinformation.

Musk has been criticised for his plans to relaunch its subscription service to monetise it. 

The South African born has also hinted he wants to increase the number of characters in a tweet from 280 to 4 000.
