It’s safe to say that Elon Musk does not suffer fools gladly and there’s not much of an argument to be made that when it comes to such a demographic, there is no greater fool today than alleged late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel.
Musk, the world’s richest man, is known for his sense of humor and being a master troll — he changed his Twitter profile to read “Chief Twit” last when he took control of the company and declared that comedy “is now legal” on the platform — and in a combination of those two traits he offered an EPIC reply to a nasty attack from Kimmel regarding the Paul Pelosi assault.
Kimmel replied to a now-deleted tweet from Musk to say “it has been interesting, over the years, to watch you blossom from the electric car guy into a fully-formed piece of sh*t.”
The billionaire answered with an emoji that perfectly sums up “Crying” Jimmy Kimmel:

Musk shook the political class to its very core on Sunday with a reply to a Hillary Clinton tweet that suggested there’s a “tiny possibility” there’s more to the story of Paul Pelosi being assaulted by a man with a hammer “than meets the eye.”
He linked to an article pushing what is widely seen as a conspiracy theory, which is that Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband was once again intoxicated — Paul Pelosi just pleaded guilty to DUI after a late-night crash in California wine country — and had hooked up with a male prostitute who then turned violent.
The fact that there are many questions about events that night fed such speculation, including Paul Pelosi reportedly describing his attacker, David DePape, as a “friend,” according to the 911 dispatcher — this was later characterized by the media as Pelosi having “tricked” the assailant.
As for Musk, it’s hard not to get the sense that he’s playing chess while the rest of us play checkers:
I’ve now been through so many hero to villain cycles I’ve lost count
