Kimmel Hits Back At Elon Musk In Monologue, Responds To Conservative Criticism Of Tesla Comments

"Multiple Teslas were burned at a Tesla facility," he quipped. "Authorities are now investigating which Teslas were set on fire — and which set themselves on fire."

Kimmel delivered that last bit with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, which raised the ire of Musk and conservative pundits today. “And while no one should be setting anything on fire, ever, people are mad at Elon Musk for randomly and gleefully putting thousands of Americans out of work, including veterans. Cut to a series of clips from Fox News and News Nation where hosts, guests and commentators decry “left-wing lunatics,” praise Musk for working for the government “for free,” urging “We should be loving him,” suggesting that “maybe it’s time we go full Kyle Rittenhouse-style security” and warning “if you’re gonna touch a Tesla, we’re coming after you.”
