Jimmy Kimmel Jokes Elon Musk Left Trump for His Real Job, ‘Destroying Companies and Inseminating Every Woman in Sight
Jimmy Kimmel was 'happy to share some good news from Washington for a change' during his monologue on Thursday's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' — Elon Musk stepping away from his role in the Trump administration.
'We got a message from Elon Musk, an important message, it said, 'as my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,'' Kimmel explained. 'Hey, you know what, spending, that's great, we're just happy your time as a special government employee has come to an end.'
'We're thankful. We are glad you're gone,' he added.
'Elon had a remarkable 130-day stint in government. He came, he chainsawed, we bled, he left,' Kimmel continued, referencing Musk's appearance at CPAC earlier this year.
'When he started, he promised to save us a trillion dollars. Now he says DOGE will probably only save about 160 billion dollars. whereas most everyone else says he probably cost us hundreds of billions of dollars,' Kimmel went on. 'Officials from the IRS alone estimate his cuts to that agency will result in a minimum of $500 billion in uncollected taxes this year.'
'But here's the thing, politics isn't about money, it's not about success, it's not about failure, it's about the lives of the civil servants you destroy along the way. That's what's most important,' the ABC host joked. 'And Elon promised that DOGE's work will go on… similar to how the Empire continued killing Ewoks after The Emperor died.'
'Now that he's out of Washington, Elon can return to his primary job, which is destroying companies and inseminating every woman in sight.'

Elon Musk renews his criticism of Trump's big bill as it faces a key Senate vote
WASHINGTON — Elon Musk on Saturday doubled down on his distaste for President Donald Trump's sprawling tax and spending cuts bill, arguing the legislation that Republican senators are scrambling to pass would kill jobs and bog down burgeoning industries. 'The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country,' Musk wrote on X on Saturday as the Senate was scheduled to call a vote to open debate on the nearly 1,000-page bill. 'It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.'

(NASDAQ:PLTR) is also perhaps one of the largest pure-play software defense contractors in America which has helped stabilize its business as overall corporate spending remains slow. Cramer regularly discussed the stock during the first quarter as he outlined that Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) could benefit from efficiency drives in the US government led by Elon Musk's DOGE at the time. This time around, he commented on whether the stock can touch $200: 'And by the way, Palantir. A guy asked me, why aren't I more bullish on Palantir? I said when it was at 50 I said it was going to a 100. When I said it was a hundred, I said it was going to 200. I can't raise it yet! Can it go to 200? First they had them on this morning, I mean you know different guy, they didn't have Karp on. This guy didn't curse. It was great because it would have been double curse if we had Karp and the President.' A software engineer intently typing code into a laptop with multiple screens in an office.

Elon Musk renews his criticism of Trump's big bill as it faces a key Senate vote
WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk on Saturday doubled down on his distaste for President Donald Trump's sprawling tax and spending cuts bill, arguing the legislation that Republican senators are scrambling to pass would kill jobs and bog down burgeoning industries. 'The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country,' Musk wrote on X on Saturday as the Senate was scheduled to call a vote to open debate on the nearly 1,000-page bill. 'It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.' The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, whose birthday is also Saturday, later posted that the bill would be 'political suicide for the Republican Party.' The criticisms reopen a recent fiery conflict between the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency and the administration he recently left. They also represent yet another headache for Republican Senate leaders who have spent the weekend working overtime to get the legislation through their chamber so it can pass by Trump's Fourth of July deadline. Musk has previously made his opinions about Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' clear. Days after he left the federal government last month with a laudatory celebration in the Oval Office, he blasted the bill as 'pork-filled' and a 'disgusting abomination." 'Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,' he wrote on X earlier this month. In another post, the wealthy GOP donor who had recently forecasted that he'd step back from political donations threatened to fire lawmakers who 'betrayed the American people.' When Trump clapped back to say he was disappointed with Musk, back-and-forth fighting erupted and quickly escalated. Musk suggested without evidence that Trump, who spent the first part of the year as one of his closest allies, was mentioned in files related to sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein. Musk ultimately tried to make nice with the administration, saying he regretted some of his posts that 'went too far.' Trump responded in kind in an interview with The New York Post, saying, 'Things like that happen. I don't blame him for anything.' It's unclear how Musk's latest broadsides will influence the fragile peace he and the president had enjoyed in recent weeks. The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Musk has spent recent weeks focused on his businesses, and his political influence has waned since he left the administration. Still, the wealthy businessman poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump's campaign in 2024, demonstrating the impact his money can have if he's passionate enough about an issue or candidate to restart his political spending.
