AceShowbiz - Jimmy Kimmel, the popular talk show host, did not hold back during his opening monologue on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" when addressing billionaire Elon Musk's recent social media comments. Musk had previously labeled Kimmel "an insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet," a jab that the comedian chose to publicly respond to with both humor and pointed criticisms.

Kimmel, known for his sharp wit, retorted, "At least my children like me!" - a reference to the public criticisms Musk's transgender daughter, Vivian, has expressed towards her father in recent months.

The talk show host didn't stop there; he further ridiculed for buying Twitter. "The guy who paid people a million dollars a day to vote for Donald Trump is calling me a propaganda puppet? Listen, Kermit, you bought Twitter. You bought a social media platform that's literally a propaganda machine," Kimmel quipped.

The comedian took his time to dissect Musk's political maneuvers, pointing out Musk's willingness to support Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential race despite Trump's previously harsh words towards him.

Kimmel humorously referenced a post Trump made on Truth Social wherein the former president claimed Musk would have gladly "dropped to [his] knees and begged" for his help at the White House for various projects, including electric cars and rocketships. "You know what he means by 'beg,' right? I'm sure you guys would be great together. I'm sure his little hand will fit nicely in your sock hole," Kimmel jabbed.

This public sparring match between Kimmel and Musk serves as another example of how celebrities and influential figures are increasingly using their platforms to engage in political discourse and social commentary, often with biting humor and personal jabs. Young audiences, specifically, may find this clash particularly engaging as it combines elements of entertainment, politics, and social media drama into a headline-grabbing narrative.
