Elon Musk'scontentious takeoverof the app formerly known as Twitter and itsrebrandto "X," a.k.a. the "everything app," has received mixed reviews on social media.

Still, while X users have been quick to blast Musk onhis own platform, it's rare to see the SpaceX and Tesla CEO criticized publicly. But that's exactly what happened during the Valorant World Championship Final on Sunday, when the billionaire was booed and chanted at during a live broadcast.

Musk attended the video game championship in Los Angeles over the weekend and was briefly shown on camera, only for the crowd to erupt in jeers of "boo" and "Bring back Twitter" for roughly four seconds before the camera switched back to the live gameplay.

One attendee posted a clip of the incident on X where it garnered over 14.5 million views.

"That was actually a very sweet chant compared to all the other things they could [have] chanted," oneX user offered.

"I'm sure he'll change it back now," anothersaid, sarcastically.

Other clips on social media showed Musk stepping into the event with his three-year-old son X Æ A-12 in tow.

The booing comes amid X's ongoing legal troubles. Perdocuments filedon Monday, there have been 2,200 arbitration claims from former employees claimingunpaid severances.

Musk has been taking his losses in stride, it seems. In recent weeks, after admitting on X earlier this month that the platform "may fail" amid mass changes and revamping.

"The sad truth is that there are no great 'social networks' right now," the billionairepostedon his profile. "We may fail, as so many have predicted, but we will try our best to make there be at least one."

In May, it was found that ad revenue at X dropped roughly 59% in a one-year period, according to internal documents obtained byThe New York Times.

Musk's estimated net worth as of Tuesdaymorning was$222 billion.
