Elon Musk is deleting accounts that post this video of him being booed for 10 minutes last night at a Dave Chapelle show.

2. What about "free speech" Elon? I thought you were king of that?

[Timewas]

3. Surprised at that??

Of course he is.....

[marble falls]

4. I will reactivate my twitter account just to repost that film. It's on youtube, on news sites ...

... he's a simple twit if he thinks he can stop this steam roller.

He'd be better off to ignore it or publically laugh it off.

7. Elon can't stop it, swat it as much as he wants. He's also kicking off posters.

6. So the fascist South African Billionaire doesn't actually believe in free speech

color me shocked

[marble falls]

9. Ummmm ... what does being South African have to with it. But he is a fascist who does not ...

... believe in free speech. A lot of his success was other people's back or pure luck. Hubris will get him in the end. He's nowhere as smart as he thinks he is.

12. Elon Musk and Rupert Murdock

both are foreign wealthy people who use their wealth to harm our nation

[marble falls]

16. That is a fair statement. They take in their profits here, exploiting and selling hate..

8. It's Whack-A-Mole, and Musk's team are losing as the Streisand Effect kicked in.

A Twitter search for "Dave Chappelle" or "Elon" shows plenty of copies of the video that haven't been taken down, plus a lot of joyously scurrilous comments, some directed at Musk himself in replies to his tweets.

This won't die down any time soon, especially as mainstream outlets are running the story, and that video will no doubt crop up regularly in response to his latest ravings from now on.

It's a poor show when a billionaire (heading for being a multimillionare?) can't even do a vanity search for his name in safety on the platform he paid $44 billion for.

15. Almost like Elmo doesn't understand how the internet works..

[zuul]

10. Not really. I've seen at least 12 tweets with the video.

[obamanut2012]

11. Yes, really

Twitter is absolutely taking them down when they find them, and zapping the account.

[zuul]

13. I just retweeted the video about 15 minutes ago . . . it's still there.

14. They'll probably migrate to Mastadon...

By the end of the day. He can't do anything about those posts.

17. I can't believe they got videos

They made us lock our phones in cases that you unlocked when you left the arena. It must have been employees taking those videos.

But I was one of those people booing!

18. I'm not mad! I'm NOT mad! Says an increasingly unhinged Elon.
