During a conversation on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Dave Chappelle discussed woke culture and how the cast of Saturday Night Live had a problem with Elon Musk hosting the show.
After explaining that no one can “be woke enough,” Chappelle said "I'm torn because I like a warrior for a good cause, but I'm really into tactics. You're not gonna nag people into behaving in a way — in fact, if you continue with this tone, even if you're right, you'll be very hard to hear.”
"I think the people that are complaining that he's gonna be on 'Saturday Night Live,' I think what's going on now is they want someone to be 100% compliant to whatever ideology they're a part of — and any deviation from that is problematic, "Rogan responded.
Both Rogan and Dave theorized that the SNL cast and staff may have felt that Elon’s lack of emotion of COVID-19 or because he is the richest man in the world may have played a part in why there was a backlash over him hosting SNL.
