Musk slams Chappelle's joke on Kirk's murder
Comedian Dave Chappelle has drawn criticism for a joke he made about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Musk, the tech billionaire, has now commented on the controversy, stating that he no longer finds Chappelle amusing. Chappelle delivered the joke during a two-night performance at Madison Square Garden as part of his Karmageddon Tour.
Kirk was murdered on September 10, 2025, while addressing a Turning Point USA event. Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, has expressed her disgust at Chappelle's comment, calling it "beyond disgusting" and highlighting the moral decay of a culture that finds political assassination entertaining. Kirk's supporters had also called out Chappelle for his joke.
