The elusive eccentric CEO of Tesla and founder of Space X went on a rant supported by many of his fans on twitter against the annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert best known as simply Coachella
This no chill thread came just as Coachella organizers released a postponing statement to its goers “This decision was not taken lightly or without consideration of many factors,” Dr. Kaiser said. “No doubt it will impact many people, but my top priority is to protect the health of the entire community.”
In its statement announcing the festivals’ delay, Goldenvoice said, “While this decision comes at a time of universal uncertainty, we take the safety and health of our guests, staff and community very seriously.”
The event, co-founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen in 1999, draws up to 125,000 people a day and has come to be a bellwether for the multibillion-dollar touring business.
The event is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Presents.
The event has been pushed to begin on Friday, 9 October and ends on Sunday, 18 October 2020
This is what Elon had to say in separate tweets about the event “Coachella should postpone itself until it stops sucking”, “Too much corporate sponsorship killed the vibe”, “Was good maybe 5 or 6 years ago when you could wonder around & find great unknown bands”
Coachella was not left behind, responding to Elon with a picture of a tesla at one of its festivals
Elon replied with a subtle “Ok fine, that was good haha ”
