Jimmy Kimmel Buries Elon Musk: ‘Guy Who Names His Kids Roman Numerals Won’t Do Anything Foolish!’

Jimmy Kimmel is on a roll and there isn’t a thing about Trump that Kimmel can tolerate. He especially doesn’t like the idea of letting someone as dangerous as Trump back on Twitter. Kimmel has been gone for a week after having tested positive for COVID and he must have been doing a lot of thinking while at home because he’s gone two straight days rolling right over Trump and the guy he now calls “Baby Elon.”

“Speaking of babies, Elon Musk says that if his deal to buy Twitter goes through, he will reverse the ban on our infant former president, Donald Trump.”

It is true, Musk has said:

“Permanent bans should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots, or scam, spam accounts… I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump. I think that was a mistake, because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.” (What it did do, of course, is prevent Trump from inflaming an insurrection or dominating the news cycle.)

“I would reverse the permanent ban. I don’t own Twitter yet. So this is not like a thing that will definitely happen, because what if I don’t own Twitter?”

We would have a party in downtown San Francisco?

And Kimmel put it all in perspective: “Oh, good, we have the part-time DJ who makes flamethrowers and cars that fart in charge of morality now. The guy who named his kids Roman numerals will make sure they don’t do anything foolish.”

The MAGAs were DEEPLY OFFENDED. Trump would never hurt anyone like this:

Poor babies.
