Jimmy Kimmel has a scathing response to Elon Musk calling him a ‘propaganda puppet’

Jimmy Kimmel gave an emotional speech after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, but it seems not everyone was a fan. Namely, Elon Musk.

“Last night I shared some of my thoughts and feelings about what happened, and how much I’m going to miss democracy and stuff, and I’ve heard from a lot of people about it, but none more prominently than the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, who tweeted, ‘Kimmel is an absurd propaganda puppet. ,'” the host said in the clip above, before bluntly replying: “At least my kids like me.”

Kimmel continues to call out Musk’s hypocrisy by calling him a “propaganda puppet” when the billionaire endorsed Trump on X (formerly Twitter) and developed his platform of support for Trump, spoke at Trump rallies, donated millions to the Trump Super PAC, and recently. he provided millions of people who provided information and signed his petition for the First and Second Amendments. In Trump’s election night speech, the president-elect praised Musk personally, saying, “A star is born.”

“The guy who paid people a million dollars a day to vote for Donald Trump calls me a ‘propaganda puppet,'” Kimmel said. “Listen, Kermit: You bought Twitter, you bought a literal social media propaganda machine. Let me tell you something, if I spend two weeks trying to come up with a four-word definition of Elon Musk, I don’t ‘think I can do better’ than an insufferable propaganda puppet. ‘
