After Elon Musk alleged in a put up on X that President Trump’s identify seems in paperwork from Jeffrey Epstein’s little one intercourse trafficking case, Seth Meyers has identified one troubling facet of the spat: Evidently Musk didn’t share the knowledge till a lot later than he allegedly discovered it.

Musk, who was a buddy and administrative determine for Trump till very lately, ignited a feud with the president by criticizing the “Massive Lovely Invoice,” which handed within the U.S. Home of Representatives and is now shifting to the Senate. On Monday, Musk wrote on X that the “large, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending invoice is a disgusting abomination,” and the 2 have continued buying and selling insults within the media since. That pressure reached a serious turning level on Thursday, when Musk posted, “Time to drop the actually massive bomb: @realDonaldTrump is within the Epstein recordsdata. That’s the actual cause they haven’t been made public.”

The feud was the topic of the “Late Night time” phase “A Nearer Look” on Thursday, with Meyers saying, “Within the span of three hours, they went from Elon criticizing the invoice to Trump threatening to take Elon’s contracts away to Elon suggesting that Trump is likely to be a pedophile. Additionally, if we’re to take you at your phrase, Elon, you already knew that, and it wasn’t a dealbreaker.”

Later within the phase, Meyers added, “It’s as clear as ever that neither of those guys actually imagine in something. Elon spent practically $300 million to get Republicans elected, and now he’s shocked that they’re doing the factor everybody mentioned they’d do. And within the course of, Trump used Elon to get again into energy. You already know, in a manner, they have been proper. Watching these guys destroy one another is each ‘massive’ and ‘stunning.’”

Stephen Colbert made related feedback throughout his “Late Present” monologue on Thursday. “By the best way, Elon, a little bit late on that intel. ‘Donald Trump is a sexual predator that preyed on younger girls, which is one thing I’ve solely determined to inform you as a result of he damage my emotions. I’m the hero of the story!’” he mentioned sarcastically. “Trump’s gonna need to get a kind of bumper stickers for his Tesla that claims, ‘I purchased this earlier than Elon informed everybody I used to be on Epstein’s aircraft.’”
