Jimmy Kimmel Calls Elon Musk ‘Trump’s Most Loyal S-x Robot’ in Blistering Late-Night Takedown

In a blistering monologue that set the internet ablaze, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel upped the ante in his long-running satire of the unlikely and increasingly public bromance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. On the May 5th episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the comedian unveiled a brand-new, jaw-droppingly crude nickname for the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire: “Trump’s most loyal sex robot.”

The label wasn’t just a random jab—it was a culmination of months of mockery, veiled insinuations, and comic dissection of what Kimmel perceives as Musk’s sycophantic devotion to the president.

Kimmel has never been known for restraint when it comes to political satire, especially not where Trump is concerned. But his evolving commentary on Musk has shifted from general tech-industry skepticism to full-blown comedic scorn, especially since Musk’s apparent political pivot and increasingly chummy ties with Trump became impossible to ignore.

Kimmel’s latest tirade, centered on a now-viral interview between Elon Musk and Lara Trump, ripped into both figures with surgical comedic precision. In his monologue, Kimmel scoffed at the “Fox star reporter” Lara Trump’s line of questioning, dripping with sarcasm as he pointed out the absurdity of Musk being asked about where he slept during the early days of Trump’s presidency.

“If you want to see how an interview is supposed to be done,” Kimmel quipped, “look no further than this sit-down between star Fox reporter Lara Trump—no nepotism there—and Trump’s most loyal sex robot, Elon Musk.” The audience howled with laughter, but behind the comedic delivery was a clear subtext: Kimmel sees Musk not as a neutral tech innovator, but as an increasingly partisan political figure who has cozied up to Trump for relevance, attention, or power—or all three.

The timing of Kimmel’s jab is not coincidental. Musk’s political affiliations have taken a sharp turn in recent years, culminating in his active support of Trump’s 2024 reelection campaign. Whether it’s hosting Trump on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), showing up at campaign events, or echoing hardline conservative rhetoric, Musk’s trajectory has made him a ripe target for liberal comedians like Kimmel.

But this time, the ridicule came with an added twist of personal humiliation. By branding Musk as a “sex robot,” Kimmel isn’t just mocking Musk’s politics—he’s dehumanizing the billionaire as an automaton programmed for blind loyalty and submissive service to Trump.

The Lara Trump interview provided Kimmel with the perfect material to build his bit. When Lara asked if it was true that Musk slept on a couch in his office at the beginning of Trump’s term, the framing of the question made it sound as though Musk was some sort of patriotic martyr—or worse, a devoted courtier to a king.

“This is where the richest man in the world slept?” she asked in amazement, as if Musk's decision to crash on office furniture somehow imbued him with the moral character of a war hero. 

Kimmel was having none of it.

With a smirk, he jumped in to add fuel to the fire, dragging Vice President J.D. Vance into the mess. “J.D. Vance is like, ‘Oh man, that is so hot,’” he joked, alluding to tabloid rumors about Vance’s alleged “couch fetish,” a detail that sent the audience into another round of hysterics. It was a moment of complete absurdity, but one that perfectly captured the tone of Kimmel’s ongoing narrative about the Musk-Trump-Vance triangle: a political reality show teetering between dystopian power play and high school gossip.

This isn’t the first time Kimmel has portrayed Musk as more than just a political supporter. In previous episodes, he suggested that Musk was acting like Trump’s personal assistant—or even stylist. “He’s picking out outfits for Trump to wear,” Kimmel joked. “He’s been applying his bronzing cream for his face.”

The subtext was clear: Elon Musk, once viewed as the alpha male of Silicon Valley, had reduced himself to a submissive figure in Trump’s orbit. In another episode, Kimmel even warned Melania Trump to “look out,” adding that “Trump’s got a new squeeze named Elonia Musk.”

That nickname—“Elonia Musk”—was not just a dig at Elon’s apparent loyalty. It was a complete gender-flipping emasculation designed to suggest that Musk had surrendered all personal agency in exchange for proximity to power.

And now, with the new label “Most Loyal Sex Robot,” Kimmel has gone even further. The term implies that Musk is not only loyal but also programmed, unthinking, and available on command—an object in Trump’s arsenal rather than a man of influence on his own terms.

Kimmel’s comedy might be tongue-in-cheek, but it raises serious questions about the nature of Musk’s political involvement. Once heralded as the genius behind electric vehicles and space exploration, Musk now finds himself as the punchline of late-night television jokes about sexual subservience to a twice-impeached president.

Whether fair or not, this is the narrative taking hold in large segments of the media landscape.

And it's not just about Musk’s political leanings. There’s something deeper at play in Kimmel’s rhetoric: a dismantling of tech idolatry. For years, Musk enjoyed near-mythical status among his fans, lauded as a visionary, a disruptor, and a savior of humanity.

But with his recent moves—mass layoffs at X, platforming conspiracy theorists, attacking liberal media, and entrenching himself with Trump’s political machine—he’s burned through a lot of that goodwill. 

Kimmel, ever the cultural barometer, is simply stating what a growing number of people are thinking: that Musk is no longer an independent genius but rather a tool being used for someone else’s political agenda.

Still, the idea of Musk as a “sex robot” is likely to linger in the cultural imagination. It’s crude, it’s exaggerated, but it cuts through the noise. It transforms a complicated web of tech policy, campaign strategy, and media bias into a single image—an obedient machine, devoid of independent thought, whispering sweet nothings into Donald Trump’s ear.

As Musk continues to assert his relevance in the political arena—whether by pushing for AI deregulation, criticizing the Biden administration, or throwing his weight behind Trump’s campaign—he may find that the spotlight he’s chasing comes with more shadows than he anticipated.

With comedians like Kimmel holding nothing back, the road ahead promises to be lined not just with political landmines but with viral, reputation-altering punchlines.

And in this war of narratives, Kimmel’s message is clear: Elon Musk might think he’s steering the ship, but in the eyes of late-night comedy and much of the public, he’s just the high-tech figurehead strapped to the bow of Trump’s sinking galleon.
