Illana Stern tweeted: “@elonmusk just got booed like I’ve never heard before on stage with @davechapelle and @chrisrock. He couldn’t get a word in, the crowd booed for 10 minutes. Not favoured on his home turf. He looked stunned, must not get enough feedback IRL”.
Musk critics were joyful as they shared their thoughts on what they deemed is the general consensus of how they feel about the billionaire’s antics on Twitter and the changes he’s planning to make on the app.
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.
