'Daily Show' Spots Damning Way Trump Could Get Quick Revenge On Elon Musk
'Daily Show' correspondent Michael Kosta on Tuesday clowned billionaire Elon Musk after the former White House adviser 'DOGE'd' his friendship with Donald Trump when he publicly trashed the president's 'big, beautiful bill.'
Musk — a staunch promoter of slashing the federal budget before leaving his role in the administration last week — took to X, formerly Twitter, to 'shame' Republicans for backing a Medicaid cut-laden spending bill he described as a 'disgusting abomination.'
'Elon is worried that Trump's bill will raise the deficit too high and when Elon is worried about something getting too high, you know it's too high,' quipped Kosta as a clip played of Musk, who's been accused of heavy drug use, awkwardly moving his head during an Oval Office press conference last week.
Kosta conceded that Musk 'may be right' in his criticism before advising him to be 'careful.'
'You come out that hard against Trump's central legislative achievement, you're going to be the first white person to get deported,' he joked.
The host added that Musk should 'save a little shame' for himself as he knocks supporters of the bill, which heads to the GOP-majority Senate this week.
'You're the one who spent $288 million getting Trump elected, you even showed hole to support him,' quipped Kosta alongside a photo of Musk's stomach-exposing jump for joy at a Trump campaign rally last year.
'Now, granted the hole was a belly button but still, hole is hole.'
