Late Night Hosts Poke Fun at Trump and Musk's Conversation

Former President Donald Trump’s recent dialogue with tech mogul Elon Musk has become a popular topic for late-night comedians, who have taken to their shows to deliver humorous takes on the exchange. Seth Meyers quipped that revisiting the conversation felt akin to returning to one’s old high school, only to find it transformed into a discount store, highlighting a sense of disappointment in the current state of affairs. He further described the interaction as “insane,” a “tactical disaster,” and “boring,” underscoring the lack of excitement surrounding the event. In a separate segment, Jimmy Fallon provided his own comedic commentary, referencing a recent poll by FiveThirtyEight that showed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz with a favorable rating of plus 5, while JD Vance languished at minus 9.4. Fallon humorously noted that this was reminiscent of the Democrats’ treatment of President Biden, suggesting a metaphorical “bus” under which Biden had been thrown. Additionally, Meyers addressed former Vice President Mike Pence’s recent remarks regarding his inability to endorse Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris. Pence’s reasoning, which he articulated in an interview, was that endorsing Trump would mean supporting the overturning of the 2020 election, while endorsing Harris would be akin to “third base,” a humorous nod to his marital status. The late-night segments reflect a blend of political satire and commentary, showcasing the ongoing tensions within the Republican Party and the broader political landscape.
