Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Elon Musk for Claiming Teslas Are Being Destroyed Due to ‘Mental Illness’: You Did ‘One, Maybe Two Nazi Salutes’

by

In my own words, I’d say: During his monologue on March 19, I jokingly teased Elon Musk, suggesting he was attempting to gain sympathy amid a series of events where some Tesla owners were destroying their vehicles in protest. Later, during an interview with Sean Hannity, Elon attributed these Tesla protests to individuals suffering from certain mental health issues.

Elon Musk stated that Tesla is a tranquil organization. He emphasized that he’s never engaged in harmful actions. However, he finds it puzzling and suspects there might be some sort of unusual or unbalanced mental state among those causing the confusion, as their actions seem irrational and inconsistent with reason.

As a movie critic, allow me to shed some light on the situation: When you gleefully brandish a chainsaw after downsizing your workforce, it’s no wonder people take offense. I mean, honestly! A single or even two Nazi salutes, and suddenly everyone is up in arms! It’s truly unfortunate for this individual.

Kimmel brought up two recent controversies involving Musk. First, there was the incident where he appeared to perform a Nazi salute at Donald Trump’s inauguration event in November. Second, he made headlines for waving a chainsaw around during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February. The chainsaw was meant to symbolize the Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to reduce the federal workforce and decrease government spending.

Or simply:

Kimmel discussed two recent scandals related to Musk. One was the perceived Nazi salute at Donald Trump’s inauguration in November, and the other was the chainsaw stunt during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February, which represented the Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to trim federal employees and cut government spending.

Let me make this clear, I understand why people are frustrated about Teslas catching fire,” Kimmel joked regarding the increase in burning Teslas. “Setting a car on fire isn’t exactly eco-friendly. I don’t believe that was their intention when they developed electric cars. In Las Vegas yesterday, someone tossed a homemade bomb at a Tesla service center. Unfortunately, at least five Teslas exploded – one from the bomb and four because it seems that Teslas sometimes spontaneously combust.

It’s important that no one lights fires because someone could get hurt or even killed. Elon Musk might not value other people, but responsible Americans should take care not to endanger others.
