Late night hosts had comments:
“I’m sorry, went crazy?” Colbert mused. “Elon has always lived at the geographic center of insanitude. He’s not the mayor of Crazy Town! He’s the governor of Off-his-meds-sylvania.”
Colbert also noted that Musk was “a little late on that intel – ‘Donald Trump is a sexual predator that preyed on young women, which is something I only decided to tell you because he hurt my feelings.’”
“Just a few days ago Elon was in the Oval Office, Trump gave him a key to the White House, he said all these nice things,” Kimmel marveled. In February, Musk tweeted: “I love Donald Trump as much as a straight man can love another man.”
“They couldn’t quit each other! It was like Wokeback Mountain with these two,” Kimmel joked. “And now it’s all gone.”
And on the Daily Show, Michael Kosta marveled at how “the leader of the free world versus the breeder of the free world” escalated into a “full world war douche”.
“Oh my God, I can’t believe it! The thing that was always going to happen is now happening,” Kosta deadpanned. “I thought these two billionaires with the world’s biggest egos would work it out amicably.
“This completely predictable thing predictably unfolded” over the big, beautiful bill, which would increase the government’s deficit and “clearly undercuts all the hard, patriotic work Elon has done gutting funding for cancer research and starving children”, Kosta said.
