The simmering feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk is all over primetime as American late-night hosts could not stop themselves from mocking the US President and Tesla boss. After Elon Musk publicly slammed Donald Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill" as a “disgusting abomination," comedians Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert pounced on the billionaire-vs-president drama and how.

Jimmy Kimmel: ‘Trump v Musk- Trouble In Scam-a-lot’

Jimmy Kimmel opened his show by calling the fallout “a big, beautiful brouhaha titled Trump v Musk that is troubling Scam-alot." Referring to Elon Musk’s role as the former head of the government’s now-defunct “Department of Government Efficiency", Jimmy Kimmel said Elon Musk left “butthurt"- “and yes, that’s a quote from the bill."

He mocked Elon Musk’s fury over the EV tax credit cuts and Donald Trump allegedly blocking SpaceX’s air traffic control and NASA ambitions. Jimmy Kimmel also poked fun at Donald Trump’s silence, saying, “No executive orders, no Truth Social meltdowns… Between Elon and Melania, Trump now has two foreigners who won’t sleep with him."

Seth Meyers: ‘Five Stages Of MAGA Grief’

On Late Night, Seth Meyers suggested Elon Musk had entered the final phase of MAGA regret. He said, “We’ve been watching him go through the five stages of grief in real time. We’re watching him realize in real time that he might have f—ed up."

He also tore into Elon Musk’s attempts to distance himself from Donald Trump’s policies, saying, “Then you shouldn’t have made yourself the Trump administration’s mascot!"

Stephen Colbert: ‘Ketamine’s Worn Off’

Stephen Colbert zeroed in on Elon Musk’s dramatic reversal, saying, “Apparently the ketamine’s worn off." Mocking Elon Musk’s epiphany, he added, “That’s gotta be one hell of a hangover, ‘I spent $300 million to elect who? I have how many kids?!’"

Stephen Colbert said on The Late Show, “Yesterday in Washington, the thinkable happened: there’s trouble brewing between the president and former first buddy Elon Musk. I’m starting to worry that two narcissistic megalomaniacs with a total inability to see value in other humans might have a hard time making friends."

Jimmy Fallon: ‘I Can’t Believe…’

Jimmy Fallon said, “I can’t believe their relationship fell apart this fast. I mean, a week ago they were all over each other like Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at a Knicks game."

He said, “But Trump didn’t stop there. He also said that the easiest way for the country to save money would be to terminate all of Elon Musk’s government contracts… Meanwhile, Elon’s, like, ‘Come on, man, don’t do this. I have 100 kids to feed.’"
