Jimmy Kimmel claps back after Elon Musk called him a ‘propaganda puppet’: ‘At least my children like me’
Jimmy Kimmel has fired back at Elon Musk after he called the late-night host an “insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet.”
Not many are game enough to take on the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. But Jimmy Kimmel proved he’s got the gall and the jokes to do just that.
The talk show host didn’t hesitate to hit back at the Tesla CEO for dissing him following his emotional on-air monologue after Donald Trump’s US election win on Wednesday night.
“Kimmel is an insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet,” Mr Musk, who is a firm supporter of Mr Trump, tweeted on his platform X in response to the Jimmy Kimmel Live!segment.
When the 56-year-old host was back on-air on Thursday, Kimmel didn’t waste time dragging Mr Musk, 53, for his tweet, which was met with laughs from the studio audience.
“Last night I shared some of my thoughts and feelings about what happened and how much I’m going to miss democracy and what not, and I heard from a lot of people about it,” Kimmel said on the show.
“But none more prominent than the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, who this morning tweeted: ‘Kimmel is an insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet,’ which … at least my children like me, you know!”
It appears Kimmel was referring to Mr Musk’s transgender daughter Vivian Wilson, who has been very vocal about her disdain for her father in recent years.
In 2022, she officially cut ties with him and filed a petition to legally change her name and gender.
Most recently, she branded Mr Musk – a father of 12 – a “serial adulterer” in a social media post shared back in August. And this past week, Ms Wilson called him out for his role in the election.
