Vir Das ROASTS Donald Trump-Elon Musk Feud: ‘Like Shoving A D**k Into Another...'
Last Updated:
Vir Das hilariously slams the Trump-Elon Musk feud with a savage Instagram post. Compares their ego clash to 'shoving a d**k into another d**k.' Read more!
In a world where satire often mirrors reality a little too closely, comedian and actor Vir Das has once again brought his scalpel-sharp wit to the table—this time dissecting the bizarre, headline-hogging fallout between tech titan Elon Musk and former U.S. President Donald Trump.
On Friday, Vir posted a tongue-in-cheek 'breakup announcement" on Instagram, parodying the tone of a PR statement about an amicable celebrity split. 'Love is complicated," his post began. 'When a relationship grows despite both people's best intentions, the universe sends them on separate paths. They deserve the privacy to separate in peace and with best wishes of the world."
'Actually wait… they're fighting like two schoolgirls. Yep. Cults of personality require sycophancy and submission. Insecure strongmen require conmen basking in their shadow. Combining the two is metaphorically and literally like trying to shove a d**k inside another d**k. It's technically possible, but probably painful."
Das concluded his post with a classic mic-drop caption: 'Requesting privacy at this time."

The comment—bold, layered, and laced with political undertones—comes at a time when the Trump-Musk feud has evolved into a full-blown soap opera. Once mutual supporters, the bromance between the billionaire entrepreneur and the former POTUS has imploded in public view, with both camps exchanging increasingly personal jabs.
It all escalated after Musk reportedly criticised Trump's controversial 'One Big Beautiful Bill," a sweeping legislative package that Musk claimed would balloon the federal deficit and undermine his much-hyped Department of Government Efficiency—ironically acronymed DOGE. Trump didn't take the criticism lightly. Within 24 hours, he threatened to revoke government subsidies and contracts for Musk's companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.
But Musk didn't stop there. In what could be described as a political nuke, he claimed that Trump was hesitant to release the long-sealed Jeffrey Epstein files 'because his name is on them." That accusation sent shockwaves across the media and triggered speculation across social platforms. Trump's rebuttal came swiftly, calling Musk's comments 'baseless," while also hinting at 'legal scrutiny" for the Tesla CEO.
In the middle of this escalating circus, Vir Das' post serves as a cultural palate cleanser—an absurdist take on a saga that already feels like a satirical miniseries. Known for his globally resonant comedy and ability to blend humour with razor-sharp observations, Das has once again tapped into a moment that is as ridiculous as it is revealing.
With fans hailing his post as 'better than any SNL sketch" and 'the only analysis we needed," it's clear that Das has not just lampooned the feud, but provided commentary on the age of ego wars, political theatre, and celebrity culture masquerading as governance.
As Trump and Musk continue their digital slugfest, Das' comedic eulogy to their 'bromance" might just be the most accurate headline yet.
