Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur, faced a less-than-welcoming reception from the audience during his appearance at Riot Games' "Valorant Champions 2023" tournament.
The incident, captured on the event's livestream and shared by esports reporter Jake Lucky, revealed a notable display of disapproval from the crowd as Musk's presence was acknowledged.
The broadcast swiftly shifted focus back to the ongoing match between Evil Geniuses, a Canada-based team, and Paper Rex, a team from Singapore, PC Gamer reported.
Although, even as the focus shifted back to the game, the audience continued to chant "Bring back Twitter."
Musk's ownership of Twitter (now called X) has been punctuated by controversies stemming from staffing decisions, changes in monetization strategies, and moderation policies. These factors led to a significant devaluation of X, with reports suggesting a substantial loss in the company's market value during Musk's tenure.
