Jimmy Kimmel responded to Elon Musk with a sharp six-word remark, calling him an “insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet.”
Following Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential election win, Jimmy Kimmel delivered a scathing monologue that quickly sparked controversy online.
On Wednesday night’s episode, a visibly upset Jimmy Kimmel shared his personal reaction to the election results. He described Trump’s victory as “a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants who keep this country running, for healthcare, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, and for free speech.”
Elon Musk responded to Kimmel’s monologue by sharing his reaction on X, formerly known as Twitter.
However, on his Thursday show, Kimmel fired back at Musk.
Kimmel began, “Last night, I shared some of my thoughts and feelings about what happened and how much I’m going to miss democracy… and none more prominent than the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, weighed in.”
After revealing Musk’s response, Kimmel followed up with a pointed six-word retort.
“At least my children like me,” Kimmel quipped in response.
Kimmel’s remark came after Musk’s daughter, Jenna Wilson, who is transgender, publicly vowed to leave the U.S. following Trump’s election victory. Jenna also expressed her intent to distance herself from Musk, stating, “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form.”
