Donald Trump and Elon Musk are having a big, messy fight in public, and late-night talk show hosts can’t get enough of it.
On Late Night, Seth Meyers talked about how things got wild between the former president and the billionaire. It all started when Elon tweeted something shocking — saying Trump’s name is in the Jeffrey Epstein files. This came just after Trump threatened to stop government support for Tesla. Then, things quickly blew up.
Seth said, “In just a few hours, they went from arguing about a bill to Trump threatening Elon’s Tesla contracts to Elon basically calling Trump a pedophile! And if Elon is telling the truth, he already knew this before and didn’t care — that’s crazy.”
People have known for a long time that Trump and Epstein were friendly in the ‘90s, but Trump has always denied being involved in Epstein’s bad stuff. This fight started because Musk didn’t like Trump’s big new spending plan, which could add a lot of debt to the country. Elon had just finished his job with Dogecoin and is now openly criticizing Trump’s politics.
Seth pointed out that neither Trump nor Elon really stand for anything steady. “Elon gave almost $300 million to help Republicans win, and now he’s surprised they’re acting like Republicans. Trump used Elon to get back into politics, and now they’re tearing each other apart. It’s messy but also kind of entertaining.”
Jimmy Fallon joked on The Tonight Show that their friendship “went downhill faster than a self-driving Tesla.” He even teased that Elon might run for president in 2028. Fallon added, “Even Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are probably saying, ‘Guys, calm down! This is too much’!”
Jimmy Kimmel had fun with it too. He said, “I knew this fight was coming, but it’s even crazier than I thought. It’s like waking up on Christmas and finding a second Christmas tree.” He compared their fight to a dramatic movie scene and wondered, “What proof does Elon really have about Trump and Epstein?” Kimmel also showed funny clips of the two to lighten the mood.
On The Daily Show, Michael Kosta called their fight “World War Douche,” joking about their huge egos. He said, “It’s wild but also kind of amazing to watch these billionaires publicly fight like this.”
This whole argument started when Musk criticized a big government spending bill and Trump threatened to cut Tesla’s support. Musk fired back with a strong tweet about Trump and Epstein, making the fight very public.
Even though people have long known Trump and Epstein were friends, Elon’s accusation brought it all back into the spotlight. Late-night hosts are having a blast making fun of how quickly their friendship turned into a big fight.
Seth Meyers pointed out how weird it is that Elon once spent millions supporting Republicans but now seems surprised by their actions. Trump, meanwhile, appears to have used Elon for his own goals — and now they’re bitter enemies.
Jimmy Fallon’s joke about the fight “going off a cliff faster than a self-driving Tesla” perfectly sums up how fast things fell apart. And with Elon possibly running for president one day, this feud might just keep going.
Jimmy Kimmel’s comment about the drama being like a crazy movie twist makes a lot of sense — everyone wants to know what proof Elon has and what it means for Trump.
Michael Kosta’s “World War Douche” phrase really captures how ridiculous it is to see two of the richest men in the world fighting so openly.
In the end, this messy fight between Trump and Elon is not only uncomfortable but also super entertaining. Watching them go at it feels like a real-life reality show — and honestly, most people just can’t stop watching.
