Jimmy Kimmel mockingly calls Donald Trump and 'Elona Musk' a cute couple

Jimmy Kimmel did not get his wish in terms out of the U.S. election, but he did get plenty of fodder for his monologues. The host has had an abundance of topics to discuss during his last couple episodes, and Elon Musk is chief among them.

Kimmel, as we predicted, has found a new favorite target in the form of the Tesla founder. He has mocked Musk's hypocritical talking points and highlighted the various points in Trump has spoken disparagingly about him despite his sworn allegiance to the incoming president.

Kimmel openly mocked Donald Trump's marriage

The roasting continued on Tuesday night. Jimmy Kimmel not only tore into Elon Musk, but he gave the controversial figure a nickname that expressed his frustration with Trump's administration:

"Look out, Melania, Trump’s got a new squeeze named Elonia Musk."

The nickname served as a dual insult, knocking not only Musk but the seeming estrangement between Donald Trump and his wife, Melania. Kimmel didn't stop there. He proceeded to expand to the comedic metaphor of Trump and Musk being a couple, right down to the notion of them helping each other get ready to meet with world leaders.

The host was previously criticized by Musk

"Musk has been in the room when world leaders have called Trump," Kimmel told his audience. "And tonight we’ve learned he’s also weighing in on staffing decisions. He’s picking out outfits for Trump to wear, he’s been applying his bronzing cream to his face. Cute couple."

Kimmel's disdain for Elon Musk dates back several years, but it has gone up a notch since the U.S. election results were announced. The Tesla founder called Kimmel a "propaganda puppet" on his social media platform, Twitter, and Kimmel effectively declared war on him.

The host noted that his kids actually like him, as a counterpoint to the strained relationship between Musk and his family, and claimed that he has turned Twitter into a propaganda machine since taking it over. There's definitely going to be more Musk mockery coming down the pipeline.
