Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday joked about how President-elect Donald Trump may soon fall out with tech billionaire Elon Musk.
Trump, Musk, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, podcaster Joe Rogan and Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, are among those named on Time magazine’s shortlist for its 2024 “Person Of The Year.”
“Can you imagine if Elon Musk gets ‘Person Of The Year’ over Donald Trump?” Kimmel asked. “That’ll be the end of that relationship. That romance will blow up like a SpaceX rocket.”
Trump has tapped Musk to co-run an unofficial Department of Government Effiency which will seek to cut public spending.
