‘Daily Show’ brutally trolls ‘friendless loser’ Elon Musk

“He’s so rich that he bought Twitter just to ruin it and enjoy it personally,” said correspondent Michael Kosta. “And now you’re thinking, ‘Well, what if I did the same thing with the United States?’”

“Wow, Elon is giving a million dollars to his fans,” Kosta said. “Now you can afford the best anime girlfriend pillow money can buy.”

Kosta went over how Musk has been using his platform at X to amplify false and misleading information in tweets that have had a collective total of more than 3 billion views and counting.

Kosta called it a “huge amount of propaganda” that not only Musk’s followers see, but also appears in the feeds of users who don’t follow him.

“Daily Show” correspondent Ronny Chieng joined the segment to reveal what he claimed was the real reason for Musk’s antics.

“Don’t think too much about this, Michael: All Elon is trying to do is make a friend,” Chieng said, dismissing Musk as “a friendless loser.”

Chieng described how all of Musk’s previous attempts to make friends have failed.

“He bought Twitter to make friends and what happened? “We all left Twitter,” he said. “He built self-driving cars to be his friends and what happened? “The cars were blown up.”

Kosta tried to move on, but Chieng wasn’t finished:

“This man is a fucking loser, Kosta. His group chat is him and a burner phone he bought so he wouldn’t be alone in the group chat. The only reason he wants to go to Mars is so he can be the first human to meet aliens because he knows that once aliens meet other humans they’ll be like, ‘Oh wait, this one sucks.'”

Chieng offered some evidence that Musk has no friends: the Cybertruck.

“A real friend would have told him, ‘Hey bro, that’s the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen in my life: You should punch yourself in the penis,'” he said.
