13 of the Funniest Late-Night Jokes About the Elon Musk/Donald Trump Feud
Has there ever been better fodder for late-night comedians than the day when Donald Trump and Elon Musk got into a hissy slap-fight on social media?
Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers got out the good steak knives and made a meal of the circus, spewing out punchlines almost as fast as Trump and Musk spat out their posts. Here are 13 of the funniest late-night jokes about the feud:
Colbert: “A full-scale flame war has broken out between the world’s most famous besties Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Or as they’re known by their celebrity couple name: Two Huge Jagoffs.”
Fallon: “Their relationship went off a cliff faster than a self-driving Tesla.”
Meyers: “Donald Trump and Elon Musk engaged in a very gentlemanly, one might even say, scholarly debate on the merits of tax cuts and government spending. I’m just kidding. They’re (bleep)ing going at each other.”
Kimmel: “I knew this day would come, and yet, somehow it’s even better than I imagined. It’s like coming down the stairs on Christmas morning and finding a second tree.”
Colbert: “Musk spent all day yesterday slamming Trump’s big beautiful bill to his 200 million followers on Twitter. What’s most impressive — only half of those are his kids.”
Kimmel: “I feel bad for Donald Trump. I mean, first he lost Jeffrey Epstein. Now Elon. He’s running out of friends. This is so hard for everyone. Except me, of course. This is great for me.”
Meyers: “In the span of three hours, they went from Elon criticizing the bill to Trump threatening to take Elon’s contracts away to Elon suggesting that Trump might be a pedophile. Also, if we were to take you at your word, Elon, you already knew that. And it wasn’t a deal breaker.”
Colbert: “You know things are bad when the rational voice mediating your dispute is Kanye West. That’s like walking into an intervention organized by Captain Morgan.”
Fallon: “I’m not saying it’s bad, but right now, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are like, ‘Guys, take it easy. This is getting out of hand.’”
Colbert: “Donald Trump is a Tesla owner who hates Elon Musk. He’s never been more relatable.”
Fallon: “(Trump) also said that the easiest way for the country to save money would be to terminate all of Elon Musk’s government contracts. Smart. Now the future of space exploration rests on Katy Perry.”
Colbert: “It’s Kanye, Elon and Trump, the easiest game of Marry (Bleep) Kill ever. Because obviously, I’d kill myself.”
Kimmel: “My prediction at the end of this? One of them’s in a cell with Diddy.”
