“Daily Show” correspondent Michael Kosta on Thursday shared a brutal proposal to resolve the vicious war of words between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
“By the way, can we just point out how crazy 2025 is? Most people can’t afford to eat eggs anymore, meanwhile these two billionaires are attacking each other from different social media platforms that they each own,” Kosta said.
“Maybe we should eat the rich!”
Moments later, Kosta advised Musk and Trump to let cooler heads prevail, “Let’s not say something we can never take back, right? Right?”
He flipped to Musk’s “really big bomb” on Thursday: his claim that the Trump administration is withholding the Jeffrey Epstein files because the president is named in them.
Kosta appeared stunned as his audience clapped and cheered at the post.
“America, tonight, we are a nation at war,” said the comic as he took off a pair of eyeglasses.
Kosta added that it’s “huge” of the president’s “own best friend/sugar daddy” to make such an allegation, but it comes as no surprise since Americans have seen Trump party with Epstein.
“Although, I like that he ends it with, ‘Have a nice day,’” Kosta said of the post. “I don’t know if Trump is, but I sure am!”
He then spotted how “some sober minds are calling for a ceasefire” in the feud before turning to Ye — a self-described Nazi formerly known as the rapper Kanye West — calling on two to knock it off.
“Broooos please noooooo 🫂 We love you both so much,” Ye wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Kosta weighed in, “Look, you know you’ve gone too far when Kanye West is saying, ‘Please, stop being messy on the internet!’”
