Jimmy Kimmel had quite a bit to say about Elon Musk‘s assembly with Republican lawmakers on Thursday, December 5, evaluating it to when a child will get to go to the cockpit of a airplane.
On Thursday, billionaires Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy met with Congress to debate plans for his or her Donald Trump-backed Division of Authorities Effectivity Group (DOGE). Later that night time, Kimmel shared his ideas on the assembly in his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Stay!
“Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, the Lenny and Squiggy of Trump City, met with Republicans in Washington at this time to debate their new Division of Authorities Effectivity,” Kimmel mentioned. “We don’t know all of what went on within the assembly. We will assume that there have been a variety of missed excessive fives.”
The late-night host continued, “However apart from that, all we all know is that one of many Congress individuals they met with was Marjorie Taylor Inexperienced, who afterwards, she instructed reporters Musk mentioned he’d be placing lawmakers on a ‘naughty listing’ and a ‘good listing.’”
“Nothing to fret about,” Kimmel quipped. “They’re only a foreign-born billionaire deciding which of our elected officers get to get up on Christmas morning and which don’t.”
The comic clarified that Musk’s DOGE group “has no energy to make legal guidelines, to chop finances, or to do something in any respect,” including, “It’s like once you’re a child and also you go to the cockpit. The pilot will, he provides you… you get a set of wings. It doesn’t imply you get to fly the airplane.”
Elsewhere on Thursday’s present, Kimmel touched on Trump’s nomination for secretary of protection, Pete Hegseth, and the studies of his extreme consuming and allegations of sexual misconduct within the office. The host questioned whether or not Hegseth would even make it to Trump’s official cupboard.
“One thing tells me we’d be capable of get Pete Hegseth Cameo movies for Christmas this 12 months,” Kimmel joked.
