The epic blowout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has delighted late-night hosts, but no one more than Jimmy Kimmel. On the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host noted, “This is so hard on everyone, except me of course. This is great for me.”
Kimmel acknowledged that his team “had a whole other plan” for the show, but couldn’t resist commenting on the Trump-Musk feud. The host noted that after Musk taking a few shots earlier this week, things have now accelerated quickly.
“Elon Musk wentabsolutely nuclear,” Kimmel said.“He tweeted — let’s put that upon the big screen — ‘Time to drop the really bigbomb.Donald Trump is in the Epsteinfiles. That is the real reason they’venot been made public.’ … I knew this day wouldcome, 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.”
He continued, “That’s a serious accusation.What does Elon know?What evidence could therepossibly be that Trump was inleague with Jeffrey Epstein?” Kimmel then played archival images and footage of Trump and Epstein together, adding, “If it’snot true, he could get sued fora zillion dollars for something like that.”
Kimmel reminded viewers that in Februar, Musk tweeted that he loves Trump “as much as a straight man can love another man.” “They couldn’t quit each other,” Kimmel said. “It was like ‘Woke-back Mountain’ with these two. Now it’s all gone. And battle lines are being drawn.” He noted that he even Kanye West got involved. “You know things are nuts when the guy trying to bring everyone together is Kanye West!” Kimmel said.
Kimmel concluded by wondering where this feud might go next. “You’ve got one MAGA heroaccusing another MAGA hero ofwithholding the Epstein filesbecause he himself is a part ofthem,” he said.“And what do they do?I can’t wait to find out. My prediction: At the end ofthis, one of them’s in a cellwith Diddy. That’s what I think happens.”
