"As if all this were not enough Musk has just announced that he now has a new task to accomplish: he will open a show by comedian Chris Rock, who has been in the news for several months after the Slapgate scandal.
Last March during the Oscars, actor Will Smith, who would later be crowned best actor for his role as the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams in King Richard, created a resounding scandal by slapping comedian Chris Rock on stage after a bad joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Despite Smith's apology, tensions remain between the two men. Since then, the scent of scandal has made Rock shows among the most popular and most coveted tickets in Hollywood.
"Chris Rock invited me to open for one of his shows. Thanks Chris!" Musk posted on Twitter on Sept. 3.
The richest man in the world seems to have accepted the invitation: "I will try not to flounder too much," Musk added.
The serial entrepreneur did not provide further details. It does not give, for example, the date of the show which it will open or the place where it will take place. Rock is currently touring across the country and in Europe. From Sept. 7-12 he and fellow comedian Dave Chapelle will be on tour in Europe (Netherlands, Germany and Denmark), according to ticketmaster. And for the rest of the month, the comedian will resume his shows alone in Detroit, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh before New Orleans and New York in early October.
Musk's announcement came as a comment to a post from a video clip from his May 2021 Saturday Night Live hosting gig. He's heard saying "I reinvented electric cars and I'm sending people to Mars in a rocket ship. Did you think I was also going to be a chill normal dude?"
The announcement of the billionaire who has nearly 105 million fans on the platform has completely electrified his fans.
"Great news!!! 🔥🔥🔥," one Twitter user commented with a picture of Rock and Musk.
"You will do well, Elon. You’re pretty hilarious," another user posted.
"No slapping," another user quipped.
"I want to be at this show," added another fan."

This was an excellent blog. I enjoy it. I enjoy reading these kinds of blogs.
Chris Rock is poised to take over where Rickles left off. And be much greater because of the Internet. That scandalous result of his mistaking Jada Smith's short hair to crack a joke, has only increased his popularity. I guess that is the key to Trump's popularity. We all like to see someone speak out like we don't have the guts to do. Especially what is being said is wrong.
Long live Chris Rock and may he continue to ribbing his audiences for a very long time.
