Late-Night Shenanigans: Musk and Trump Take a Humorous Hit

In a delightful display of late-night hilarity, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers took a swing at the recent interview between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, airing some amusing grievances about the supposedly tech-savvy duo’s performance on X (formerly Twitter). With technical glitches overshadowing their much-anticipated two-hour chit-chat, Musk attributed the hiccups to what he claimed was a massive Distributed Denial-of-Service attack—because what’s a bit of drama without some cyber sabotage, right?

Colbert was quick to quip, during his monologue, that it was “a big night for weird old rich guys with no friends,” implying that the only party they’re really invited to is one they throw for themselves in a virtual corner of the internet. He hilariously compared Trump’s return to X to getting an invite to a party, only to be reminded that it’s under very watchful constraints, saying, “It’s like getting a party invitation that says, ‘Come celebrate. When: Tuesday, Where: Mason Park. Why? Because I’m finally allowed within 200 yards of the school again.'” Talk about redeeming privilege!

Then, he had a go at Musk’s poor timing, saying he wouldn’t wait 40 minutes for anything unless it was for some mouthwatering bacon cheese fries at Shake Shack. Seriously, if you can’t get that right, what’s next—a faulty rocket to Mars? Colbert then turned up the sass, suggesting that Musk’s denial of the attacks probably had the same weight as a toddler’s excuse for why the cookies vanished. Sources reportedly indicated that there was no actual cyber mishap—surprise, surprise! Shocking that a tech billionaire might not be entirely upfront, right?

Shifting gears, Seth Meyers chimed in, highlighting Trump’s rather peculiar comments about a supposed chat with Putin. “First of all, that didn’t happen!” Meyers exclaimed, cheekily poking fun at Trump’s delivery, which sounded more like an overcaffeinated child than a former president discussing international relations. He couldn’t help but question if Trump’s rambling about “tunnels and rockets and electric cars” was perhaps a line crafted by AI, proving once again that sometimes, less is definitely more.

As Musk flexes his political muscles ahead of the November elections, it’s clear he’s not just playing tech-titan but also looking to mix it up in the political circus. Can’t wait to see what other tech-savvy theatrics he has up his sleeve!
