Jimmy Kimmel did not mince his words as he clapped back at Tesla CEO Elon Musk for calling him an “insufferable nonsense propaganda puppet.”
During his Thursday night monologue, Kimmel dragged Musk's 20-year-old daughter Vivian Wilson, who has been very vocal about how much he dislikes her father.
“At least my children like me, you know,” he quipped while reacting to Musk’s X post.
Musk's transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, claimed in her first interview in July that her father mistreated her because she was queer and feminine as a child.

Kimmel says Musk ruined surprise of his new TV show, mocks his friendship with Trump
Musk's post, the comic quipped, has spoiled the surprise of a new TV show he has been working on. He stated he wanted to make the announcement about it when Trump takes office in January. Meanwhile, a title card for a program titled “Insufferable Nonsense Propaganda Puppet” featured Kimmel as a puppet.
He later cited Trump's 2022 post, in which the President-elect stated that the Tesla CEO visited the White House “asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects.” Trump made fun of Musk's companies in the tweet, writing, “I could have said, “drop to your knees and beg,” and he would have done it.”
Taking dig at Trump and Musk, he said, “And you know what he means by ‘beg,’ I think, right?”
He stated that they both will be “great together” as friends, adding that “I’m sure his little hand will fit nicely in your sock hole.”
