Elon Musk referred to as Jimmy Kimmel “such an unfunny jerk” on X after the comic poked enjoyable at Tesla’s current misfortune Wednesday night time on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“Tesla stock is way down, almost disastrously so,” Kimmel mentioned Wednesday to cheers from the dwell viewers. “People have been vandalizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles. Please, don’t vandalize, don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles.”
Kimmel delivered that final bit with a touch of sarcasm in his voice, which raised the ire of Musk and conservative pundits at present.
So tonight, Kimmel went again at Musk, Tesla and the billionaire’s conservative supporters.
“Tesla is not having a good week,” Kimmel mentioned in his monologue. “Today they issued a recall of practically all 46,000 of their Cybertrucks. That’s the eighth Cybertruck recall since they got here out in November of 2023. It’s 15 months — 8 recollects.
“I mentioned last night multiple Teslas were burned at a Tesla facility in Las Vegas. Authorities are now investigating which Teslas were set on fire — and which set themselves on fire,” the host quipped.
“And while no one should be setting anything on fire, ever, people are mad at Elon Musk for randomly and gleefully putting thousands of Americans out of work, including veterans. But the MAGA gang — which has been very against any kind of violent protest since January 7, was it? 2021? That’s when they started being against it — they are highly upset.”
Cut to a sequence of clips from Fox News and News Nation the place hosts, visitors and commentators decry “left-wing lunatics,” reward Musk for working for the federal government “for free,” urging “We should be loving him,” suggesting that “maybe it’s time we go full Kyle Rittenhouse-style security” and warning “if you’re gonna touch a Tesla, we’re coming after you.”
Kimmel replied, mimicking these critics, “Right, proper. But for those who attempt to taser a cop on the steps of the Capitol, ‘We’ve received your again.’ “
“Everyone just needs to crack open a Bud Light and relax already,” he mentioned with a nod to a 2023 Red State-Blue State battle that appears very way back now.
