After he was booed when he made a surprise appearance on stage with Dave Chappelle at Chappelle’s show at the Chase Center in San Francisco Sunday night, Twitter CEO Elon Musk followed by issuing a ringing denunciation of his leftist foes on Monday morning.

When Chappelle introduced Musk, much of the crowd booed, prompting Chappelle to quip, “It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience,” adding, “All of those people who are booing, I’m just pointing out the obvious, they have terrible seats. It’s all coming from way up there.”

Prior to his appearance at Chappelle’s show, Musk had indicated his disdain for the Twitter bots attacking him, tweeting, “Calling all 🤖& 🧌  Please attack me!” followed by “Cool, the bots are so far unable to swarm to the top of my replies!”

In late November, Musk posted a 12-second video of something he found in a closet at Twitter headquarters that revealed a truly leftist perspective.

Musk posted a video of the closet that had shelves stacked with T-shirts as part of Twitter’s merchandising, and showed a shelf filled with black T-shirts reading “#Stay Woke.”

“Here we are at the merch and there is an entire closet full of — ” Musk explained, before someone off-camera added, “secret closet.”

“— Hashtag Woke T-Shirts,” Musk concludes.

Despite criticism from the political Left at how he had handled the company, Musk noted at the time that Twitter had added 1.6M daily active users in the prior week.

Only hours before his tweet showing the woke T-shirts, Musk took aim at his critics, tweeting, “Wasn’t Twitter supposed to die by now or something … ?”

“Maybe we’ve gone to heaven/hell & don’t know it,” he quipped.

A coalition of 60+ civil rights and civil society groups calling themselves the “Stop Toxic Twitter” coalition had urged Twitter’s top advertisers to boycott the company, threatening, “Musk must not roll back the basic moderation practices Twitter already has on the books and he must invest the resources necessary to enforce those rules.”

“Sweeping layoffs at Twitter make it impossible for Twitter to uphold brand safeguards and content moderation. Companies should immediately stop advertising in response,” they continued.

Senator-Elect John Fetterman (D-PA) made it into Hollywood A-lister Christian Bale’s newest film — all because the actor met him and determined that he had a face that would fit into the movie’s 1830s setting.

The film, which is scheduled for release on Netflix in early January, is titled “The Pale Blue Eye” and directed by Scott Cooper. It features Bale as a detective who attempts to solve the murder of a West Point Cadet. When the other cadets close ranks, the detective brings one cadet into his confidence to help with the case — a young Edgar Allen Poe — and Fetterman, alongside his wife Gisele, apparently has a cameo.

“It me + G + Christian Bale circa 1830,” Fetterman tweeted along with a photo.

+ Director Scott Cooper! This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure to work with these incredible guys – First in “Out of The Furnace” and now in “The Pale Blue Eye”

His follow up tweet noted that director Scott Cooper also appeared in the photo. “This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure to work with these incredible guys — First in ‘Out of the Furnace’ and now in ‘The Pale Blue Eye,'” he added.

In footage posted by CineMovie, Cooper and Bale discussed what got them to work with Fetterman in the first place — the fact that “Out of the Furnace” was actually filmed in Braddock, Pennsylvania, while the senator-elect was still mayor there — and then Bale explained how that led to Fetterman appearing in ‘The Pale Blue Eye.’

“John’s got this fantastic face. And so I said to Scott, ‘We’ve got to have him in the tavern. You got to have that face. That’s a face that fits in the 1830s, because a lot of faces don’t fit in the 1830s,'” Bale explained, prompting laughter.

“We looked at some really wonderful actors and their faces, you just went — their face just doesn’t fit — Scott cast beautifully, I mean, I was so grateful for the people that he cast,” he continued.

Someone off camera noted that Fetterman looked like “a survivor” — and Bale’s reaction was visible: “Oh, yeah, that guy survived.”

Cooper went on to joke about the fact that when Fetterman first arrived on set to film — despite temperatures that were barely into double digits — he was always wearing shorts.
