After Democrat supporter Jimmy Kimmel cried on the set as Kamala Harris lost the election, Elon Musk called him an "insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet". That became the axis of Kimmel's latest show. "At least my children like me," Kimmel gave Elon Musk back referring to Musk's estranged daughter 20-year-old Vivian Wilson who publicly severed ties with her father and left not chance to berate him -- the election being the one as Wilson announced that she sees no future in Trump's US.

"The guy who paid people a million dollars a day to vote for Donald Trump is calling me a propaganda puppet," Jimmy mocked. "Listen, Kermit: You bought Twitter, you bought a social media platform, that is literally a propaganda machine.”

“Let me tell you something: if I spent two weeks trying to come up with a four-word description of Elon Musk, I don’t think I could do better than ‘insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet.’” Kimmel said everything to Elon Musk is propaganda including NYT, AP.


Then Kimmel dug up Donald Trump's past post about Elon Musk before the Tesla CEO gave him a "hundred million dollars". "When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere,...telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, "drop to your knees and beg," and he would have done it..." Donald Trump wrote in 2022.

“And you know what he means by beg, right?” said Kimmel.

“But I’m sure you guys would be great together now. I’m sure his little hand will fit nicely in your sock hole," Kimmel said.

Then Kimmel went to have fun with Joe Biden and said he will soon have lunch together. Biden can take the POTUS immunity road for some time, Kimmel joked.
