“Late Late Show” host James Corden mocked Elon Musk on Monday after the billionaire Twitter owner booed him during the Dave Chappelle comedy show in San Francisco on Sunday.
“You know where he went wrong?” Corden joked before showing a photo of Musk carrying a sink to the tech giant’s headquarters in October. (The joke was: “Let that sink in!”)
Corden joked, “He’s having fun with his props.”
The host also noted that Musk seemed “very upset” about Chappelle being hooted by a basketball stadium full of fans, joking, “He was like, ‘No, that’s not free speech I’m supposed to protect. wanted to do!”
Corden said it was “bold” for Musk to come on stage before Chappelle’s show began.
“You know what happened to me? I think he came off the stage, I think Elon Musk came off the stage and his team or his assistants were there, and they were like, ‘No, no. ‘No no, they weren’t saying boo, they were saying Twitter blueie,’ Corden quipped.
Musk recently relaunched the social media platform’s Twitter Blue Verification feature, which will cost $8 per month for web users and $11 per month for Apple users.
Corden said, “Or if you’re a totally sane person, it’ll cost you $0 a month.”
In addition, Musk has said that he plans to increase the character limit on tweets from 280 to 4000.
“It’s too much,” argued Corden. “We’re talking about a tweet, not the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
Corden also asked what Musk could actually do to improve Twitter, to which comedian and “Late Late Show” musician Reggie Watts replied, “I’d just sell it back to someone who really wants to.” I know what they’re doing and get the hell out of the public spotlight.
