Jimmy Kimmel responds to Elon Musk calling him a “propaganda puppet”

Jimmy Kimmel receives a lot of criticism from Republicans following Donald Trumpvictory in the elections. Elon Musk called the late-night host an “insufferable, mindless propaganda puppet” on Channel X following the election results, prompting Kimmel to respond to last night’s episode Jimmy Kimmel Live.

During his monologue, Kimmel explained how he shared his thoughts about the election on his show and how he will “miss democracy.” “I’ve heard this from a lot of people, but no one was more prominent than the richest man in the world,” he told the audience. He then shared Musk’s tweet and replied, “At least my kids like me.”

“I don’t agree with that,” Kimmel said of Musk’s statement. “The man who paid people a million dollars a day to vote for Donald Trump is calling to me propaganda puppet. Look, Kermit, you bought Twitter. You have bought a social media platform that is literally a propaganda machine. Let me tell you something: If I spent two weeks trying to come up with a four-word description of Elon Musk, I don’t think I could come up with more than “an insufferable, mindless propaganda puppet.”

The presenter listed everything that Musk called propaganda, including Washington Post, New York Timesand CPD. “To Elon Musk, everything is propaganda,” Kimmel said. “But what sucks for me is that I’ve been working on a project for the last six months and was hoping to announce it in January when Trump took office, but since the cat is now out of the bag, well, here it is. is. My new show.”

Kimmel then showed a teaser for this (fake) new show, which is of course called Unbearable mindless propaganda puppet.

Earlier this week, Kimmel gave a heartfelt speech in response to the election. The host thoughtfully expressed gratitude to all the people affected by Trump’s choice. over the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.

“It was a terrible night for the women, for the children, for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants who support this country,” he said, fighting back tears. “For healthcare, for our climate, for scientists, for journalism, for justice, for freedom of speech. It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on Social Security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for truth, democracy and decency. It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him – you just don’t realize it yet.”

He concluded the monologue with the statement: “I know a lot of people want to hear something positive. I tried to come up with something positive. The best I can come up with is that we’ve been through this once before, and yes, this time it will probably be worse, maybe a lot worse, but I also think that maybe we’ll look back and understand it’s in the future. run is what we need to wake us up. Maybe the people who care about him so much should know how little he cares about them.”
