\n\tAs things get dirty in the feud<\/a> between Donald Trump<\/a> and Elon Musk<\/a>, Seth Meyers<\/a> is enjoying the show.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Thursday\u2019s episode of Late Night<\/a>, the comedian commented on the heated exchange between the twice-impeached president and his former bestie after Musk claimed Trump is include<\/a>d<\/a> in the Jeffrey Epstein files<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe monologue came hours after Musk responded to Trump\u2019s threat<\/a> to terminate Tesla\u2019s government subsidies with a loaded tweet. \u201cTime to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeyers said on his show, \u201cI don\u2019t know about DJT, but I\u2019m having a pretty nice day. Holy s\u2014! In the span of three hours, they went from Elon criticizing the bill, to Trump threatening to take Elon\u2019s contracts away, to Elon suggesting that Trump might be a pedophile. Also, if we are to take you at your word, Elon, you already knew that\u2026 and it wasn\u2019t a dealbreaker. So, that spiraled out of control.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile it has never been a secret that the late, disgraced billionaire Epstein and Trump were party pals back in the 1990s, Trump always has denied he had anything to do with his convicted friend\u2019s penchant for underaged girls.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe feud comes after former DOGE chief Musk denounced Trump\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill Act<\/a>, which would add an estimated $2.4 trillion deficit over the next decade. He previously concluded his stint with DOGE<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s as clear as ever that neither of these guys really believed in anything,\u201d added Meyers. \u201cElon spent nearly $300 million to get Republicans elected, and now he\u2019s shocked that they\u2019re doing the thing that everyone said they would do. And in the process, Trump used Elon to get back into power. You know, in a way, they were right: watching these guys destroy each other has been both big and beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJoking that \u201cthings have taken a shocking turn with one of the hottest couples on Love Island,\u201d Jimmy Fallon<\/a> also poked fun at the feud in his opening monologue on The Tonight Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYeah, Trump and Elon have been brutally attacking each other all day. Seriously, their relationship went off a cliff faster than a self-driving Tesla,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s bad, but right now, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are like, \u2018Guys, take it easy! This is getting out of hand.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFallon joked, \u201cAnyway, Elon is now the Democratic frontrunner for 2028, so that\u2019s a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJimmy Kimmel<\/a> joked he \u201cknew this day would come, and yet, somehow it\u2019s even better than I imagined,\u201d adding on Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s like coming down the stairs on Christmas morning and finding a second tree.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMan oh man, Vader turns on the Emperor again. I mean, that\u2019s a serious accusation. What does Elon know? What evidence could there possibly be that Trump was in league with Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>?\u201d Kimmel sarcastically asked while sharing numerous photos and videos of the pair.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn The Daily Show<\/a>, Michael Kosta<\/a> commented on \u201cthe simmering tension between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the leader of the free world and the breeder of the free world,\u201d noting that their \u201cconflict has escalated into a full-blown \u2018World War Douche\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOh my god, I can\u2019t believe it. The thing that was always going to happen is now happening, and you get to be a part of it! I thought these two billionaires with the world\u2019s biggest egos would work it out amicably,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As things get dirty in the feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, Seth Meyers is enjoying the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3937],"tags":[68432,32,295,77,2204,7845,38513,68433,68434,68435,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-162616","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-daily-show","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-elon-musk","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","13":"tag-jimmy-fallon","14":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","15":"tag-late-night","16":"tag-seth-meyers","17":"tag-stephen-colbert","18":"tag-tv","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114635778749317837","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
