Elon Musk is no stranger to controversies or making news and the Twitter CEO has done it again.

On Sunday, the "world's richest person" as he was introduced, took the stage at a Dave Chappelle show in San Francisco. The controversial billionaire took the stage yelling Chappelle’s famous Rick James impression: "I’m rich, b***h" reports CNN.&nbsp;

This comes as the much-coveted Twitter blue subscription service has been announced for the third time. Maybe, this was the announcement Musk planned to make on stage.

But, whatever he had planned to say was lost in a crescendo of boos as got jeered for around 10 minutes straight.

As Musk tried to speak, Chapelle said, "sounds like some of those people you fired are in the audience," referring to the thousands the new Twitter owner sacked after taking over the social media giant.

Musk was then advised to stay silent. "Don’t say nothing. You hear that sound, Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest," said Chapelle.

Here's a video of the incident. Apparently, an earlier account that had posted the video seemingly disappeared from Twitter.

When something like this happens it is impossible that the incident would stay off of Twitter. A user by the handle @omnihedge tweeted at Musk about the "crowd full of boos", to which Musk in a since-deleted tweet replied it "was 90% cheers &amp; 10% boos."&nbsp;

Here's what Musk said:

The boos were expected given the turbulence that Musk taking over Twitter has brought with it; from the massive layoffs to the "hardcore" culture forcing the leftover employees to sleep in the office, to the coveted blue tick that once had to be earned but now is "for sale", there's a lot of anger.

Speaking of the now-paid blue tick, its relaunch comes as Musk tries to reduce Twitter's dependence on advertisers.

Latest reports show that the relaunched service will now cost users accessing Twitter on the web $8 while iOS users will have to cough up a higher $11 fee. As per AFP, this price bump could be a result of Musk's anger at Apple for the service fees it charges applications for the App Store. For government organisations, this checkmark will now be grey, while businesses will have a gold one.

Elon Musk met with 'crowd of boos' at Dave Chapelle show on eve of Twitter blue relaunch. Watch!

American stand-up comedian&nbsp;Dave Chappelle’s show at 'First Avenue' in Minneapolis, Minnesota was cancelled on Wednesday, just hours before he was set to perform after the club faced backlash for booking the comedian. According to The Hollywood Reporter, First Avenue’s Instagram account posted a statement announcing that Chappelle’s performance would now take place at Varsity Theater, where the star had already been scheduled to perform two sets on both Thursday and Friday.

The club’s apology referenced apparent criticism of the venue for having booked Chappelle, who has been the subject of controversy surrounding jokes about the transgender community in&nbsp;his Netflix special ‘The Closer'. The message from First Avenue's team read, "The Dave Chappelle show tonight at First Avenue has been cancelled and is moving to the Varsity Theater."

It continued, "To staff, artists and our community, we hear you and we are sorry. We know we must hold ourselves to the highest standards, and we know we let you down. We are not just a black box with people in it, and we understand that First Ave is not just a room, but meaningful beyond our walls."

The statement added, "The First Avenue team and you have worked hard to make our venues the safest spaces in the country, and we will continue with that mission. We believe in diverse voices and the freedom of artistic expression, but in honouring that, we lost sight of the impact this would have."

Varsity Theater posted a statement to Twitter confirming that it will now host Chappelle on Wednesday as well.&nbsp;

"Attention Dave Chappelle Fans! The show scheduled for tonight at First Ave has now been moved to Varsity Theater," it read, in part, as per The Hollywood Reporter. After announcing Chappelle's show earlier this week, First Avenue’s social media was filled with comments in protest of the comedian, though TMZ reported that tickets quickly sold out.

Chappelle has defended his jokes by touting artistic expression, doubling down in a recent speech at his alma mater released by Netflix. During the speech, titled ‘What's in a Name?’, Chappelle announced that he had decided against having a theatre named after him at the school. Instead, he opted to call it the Theater for Artistic Freedom and Expression.

After Dave Chappelle gets tackled on stage, Chris Rock jokes if it was Will Smith

US comedian Dave Chappelle was tackled on stage during his show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, according to multiple US&nbsp;media outlets, citing witnesses at the "Netflix is a Joke" festival and videos. 
Footage circulating on social media showed a man charging on to the stage and tackling Chappelle as he was performing. The comedian was immediately dragged off by security, the videos showed. 
 
Reuters could not immediately verify the footage. 
 
Chappelle was performing at a new, 11-day comedy festival called "Netflix is a Joke," according to organizers. 
Chappelle`s Netflix comedy special "The Closer" was criticized last year by some who saw it as ridiculing transgender people. Supporters of the comedian viewed it as a cry against cancel culture. 
 
The onstage altercation comes a month after actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars, for which he was banned from the event for 10 years. 
 
According to an ABC report Rock, who performed earlier in the night, came on stage with Chappelle moments after the attack and joked: "Was that Will Smith?" 
 
Chappelle asked repeatedly for security to remove the man from the stage, the ABC report added. 
 
Brianna Sacks, a journalist for BuzzFeed News who said she was at the show, tweeted that the man who charged at Chappelle on stage got kicked by at least 10 people. 
 
"The altercation occurred just when Chappelle’s performance ended and later the actor Jamie Foxx went on stage after the incident looking absolutely shocked," she tweeted.
