Jimmy Kimmel Fires Back at Elon Musk's "Boring" Claim: "He's Been Drinking Too Much Tequila"

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Elon Musk's recent claim that he's "bored" after the Tesla CEO alleged that the comedian was "unfunny" in a recent interview.

The feud began when Musk, in a recent interview, dismissed Kimmel's humor as "not funny," adding that he was "bored" with the comedian's jokes. This sparked a public back-and-forth between the two, with Kimmel firing back at Musk during his late-night show.

"He's been drinking too much tequila, that's my theory," Kimmel quipped, referring to Musk's affiliation with the tequila brand Teslaquila.

"He’s a guy who’s worth $200 billion and his main hobby is fighting with comedians," Kimmel continued, poking fun at Musk's penchant for online brawls with various individuals, including celebrities and comedians.

Kimmel also took a jab at Musk's recent Twitter acquisition, noting that the platform is "not doing well" and that it's "not the best place for political discourse."

"Elon, I have a suggestion for you: maybe you should just stick to building cars and making rockets," Kimmel said. "And maybe, just maybe, try some therapy."

The Feud's Roots: A Long History of Public Disputes

This is not the first time Musk has been involved in a public dispute with a comedian. He has previously engaged in online squabbles with comedians like Kathy Griffin and Joe Rogan.

Kimmel's response to Musk's "unfunny" claim reflects a growing trend of celebrities and public figures engaging in online feuds, often fueled by social media platforms like Twitter.

While Musk's "bored" comment might have been intended as a lighthearted jab, Kimmel's response showcases the power of humor in defusing tension and highlighting the absurdity of public feuds.

It remains to be seen how the feud will progress, but one thing is clear: the internet is eagerly watching.
