Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night couldn’t contain his glee over the sudden feud that erupted between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
“I knew this day would come, and yet, somehow, it’s even better than I imagined,” he said. “It’s like coming down the stairs on Christmas morning and finding a second tree.”
Kimmel pointed out that the public war of words escalated after Trump threatened to cut off Musk’s extensive government contracts.
That, Kimmel said, caused Musk to go “absolutely nuclear.”
Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that he was dropping “the really big bomb.”
“@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,” Musk wrote. “That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
Musk was referring to the documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in 2019 and has been at the center of conspiracy theories ever since. Last year, Trump denied ever being on Epstein’s plane or “‘stupid’ island.”
Kimmel pointed out that many in MAGA are “obsessed” with the Epstein case.
“They see anything, they see any list of names, any lunatic posts anywhere online ― they treat them like they’re the Dead Sea Scrolls,” Kimmel said. “But now you’ve got one MAGA hero accusing another MAGA hero of withholding the Epstein files because he himself is a part of them and what do they do? I can’t wait to find out!”
Kimmel said he thinks he knows where this is going.
“My prediction: At the end of this, one of them’s in a cell with Diddy,” he said.
