That's because Chappelle decided to invite his fellow "The League of Extraordinarily Whiny Man-Babies" (a cabal that also counts Bill Maher and Joe Rogan as members) member Elon Musk to join him on stage According to various reports, near the end of his set, Chappelle said to the crowd in attendance, "Ladies and gentlemen, make[...]
