Seth Meyers Points Out The Strangest Part Of Elon Musk And Trump's Feud

On Thursday, the internet ignited as Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s bromancecombusted in astonishing fashion, with the two titans of ego lobbing figurative grenades at each other on social media.

And on Thursday night’s episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” the host gawked at the spectacle, noting sarcastically, “Donald Trump and Elon Musk engaged in a very gentlemanly, one might even say, scholarly, debate on the merits of tax cuts and government spending.” 

“I’m just kidding,” Meyers quickly clarified. “They’re fucking going at each other.”

“Trump threatened to take away Elon’s government contacts. Elon said Trump was in the Epstein files,” Meyers noted, referring to documents about the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whom Trump has denied ever flying with or visiting on “his stupid island.”

Though they were once allies of convenience, Trump and Musk soured on each other after Musk publicly opposed Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill to cut taxes and slash Medicaid this week. Musk took to X to label the bill a “disgusting abomination.”

“In the span of three hours, they went from Elon criticizing the bill, to Trump threatening to take Elon’s contracts away, to Elon suggesting that Trump might be a pedophile,” Meyers recapped.

He then zeroed in on one problem with Musk’s suggestion that Trump was involved in criminal activity with minors. 

“If we are to take you at your word, Elon, you already knew that — and it wasn’t a dealbreaker,” he pointed out.
