Late-night host Jordan Klepper from *The Daily Show* teamed up with comedians Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers to tackle the mounting backlash against Elon Musk during Wednesday night’s broadcast. Klepper delved into the recent scandals linked to Musk, such as **Tesla vandalism**, **federal employee protests**, and **contentious town hall gatherings**.

As the CEO of Tesla, a steadfast supporter of Donald Trump, and the leader of the newly formed **Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)**, Musk has been inundated with negative press. His challenges have been so pronounced that **Trump showcased a Tesla advertisement on the White House lawn** in support of him, while Musk joined Sean Hannity on Fox News to voice his concerns regarding the rising anti-Tesla attitudes.

Nevertheless, Klepper contended that the animosity directed at Musk transcends just Tesla.

“I don’t believe people are upset with you because of the Teslas, Elon,” Klepper remarked. “If I had to venture a guess, it could be related to the fact that, over the past few weeks, you **dismissed tens of thousands of federal employees**, **reduced funding for veterans’ healthcare**, **cut crucial foreign aid and food bank assistance**, and **terminated vital medical research**. Yes, folks might become a bit irked if you **halt their medical trials mid-way**.”

Klepper’s segment underscored the wider issues regarding Musk’s involvement in government and his recent policy choices, indicating that public discontent reaches well beyond Tesla’s future.
