Quote:John Oliver dedicated the final episode of 2023 of his show, “Last Week Tonight,” to taking down billionaire Elon Musk, poking fun at his idiosyncrasies and warning of the potential danger that could come from his immense power.
For 30 minutes, Oliver touched on Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, Musk’s hard turn to the right politically, his occasional embrace of antisemitic conspiracy theories, and the accomplishments and setbacks he has faced leading Tesla and SpaceX.
“Elon has made news all year, from test launching the most powerful rocket ever built to just this week having to recall 2 million cars due to safety concerns. He even challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight, to which Zuckerberg replied, send me location. And may I suggest to both of them: interior volcanoes,” Oliver said.

Quote:Musk responded to Oliver on Monday in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Oliver was great several years ago, but stopped being funny when he sold his soul to wokeness where humor is basically illegal,” Musk wrote.
Musk has repeatedly attacked mainstream media outlets and accused the press of trying to smear him and his businesses.
