“You can tell Trump doesn’t want to exacerbate this, even though he’s said to be furious,” Kimmel said, referring to a Fox News report that said the president is “furious” with Musk for turning on him and trashing the signature “big, beautiful bill” making its way through Congress.
“But he’s been unusually quiet,” Kimmel said. “He hasn’t punched back. In fact, he kind of disappeared today.”
“Usually he’s got reporters in the Oval Office, he’s out yelling on the helipad,” Kimmel said. “He had none of that today: no executive orders, no angry posts about Elon on Truth Social.”
Kimmel noted it was very unlike Trump to show this degree of restraint.
“Between Elon and Melania, Trump now has two foreigners who won’t sleep with him,” Kimmel cracked.
He also had a warning for Musk.
“I keep waiting to see Musk on a one-way SpaceX to El Salvador,” he cracked.
