Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO has reportedly made him the world’s first trillionaire (or at least very close — there are some mixed reports), and nobody’s happier for him than Jimmy Kimmel.
“What makes that even more unsettling is that this man, our first trillionaire, the richest man in the world, is also one of the weirdest people we’ve ever seen on this planet. This obscenely wealthy weirdo has the ability and means to blow up the moon if he chooses,” the host says in the clip above. “Wasn’t he supposed to be going to Mars? Can’t we chip in to help speed that up?”
Kimmel then uses a graphic to show exactly how much stuff Musk could buy with all his money, before going on to speak a little about the SpaceX CEO’s personal history.
“Elon musk came to the United States from South Africa in 1995, the son of a humble emerald mine owner, and he is so grateful to this country that allowed him to become a trillionaire, Tesla paid almost no federal income tax over the past three years,” says Kimmel. “You know, for a guy who has been openly cheering immigrants getting kicked out of the country for stealing from us, sure seems like an immigrant who’s been stealing from us to me.”
