【摘要2023-02-17.五.自由】◎張沛元
Elon Musk joined Dave Chappelle on stage
Sunday in San Francisco, home of Twitter’s headquarters where the world’s
richest person recently laid off many of its employees.
伊隆‧馬斯克週日在舊金山與（脫口秀諧星）戴夫‧夏普爾一同登台表演，舊金山正是（馬斯克）這名世界首富最近解雇許多員工的「推特」總部所在地。
The crowd at the Chase Center loudly booed
Musk.
（表演會場）「大通中心」的群眾對馬斯克放聲大噓。
Video of the incident at Sunday’s
Chappelle show captured by people in attendance shows the controversial Twitter
owner taking the stage and yelling Chappelle’s famous Rick James impression:
“I’m rich, b***h.” Afterward, Musk got loudly booed for several minutes.
由出席看秀者拍攝這起發生於「週日夏普爾秀」之事件的影片顯示，這名具有爭議性的推特老闆走上舞台，喊出夏普爾搞笑模仿（已故黑人歌手）瑞克‧詹姆斯的梗「我是好野人，X子」。之後，馬斯克被狂噓好幾分鐘。
The reaction prompted Chappelle, who has
also been criticized for jokes he’s made aimed at transgender people, to tell
Musk that it “sounds like some of those people you fired are in the audience.”
這種回應（指觀眾噓馬斯克）促使也因為針對跨性別者開玩笑挨批的夏普爾對馬斯克說，「看來觀眾席裡有被你炒魷魚的人。」
