Bill Maher roasts Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s feud: “Godzilla vs. King Kong — if one was on ketamine”

Bill Maher isn’t pretending to care about anything else right now — not when there’s a full-blown billionaire brawl playing out between Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Kicking off Friday night’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the host zeroed in on the duo’s messy, meme-worthy war of words, calling it the only thing he could focus on this week. “It’s like Godzilla vs. King Kong — if Godzilla was on ketamine and King Kong had a combover,” Maher quipped, setting the tone early.

Once friendly, Trump and Musk’s relationship has devolved into political potshots and personal jabs — or as Maher put it, “They were so close, it was like Brangelina or Bennifer.” Naturally, he offered a couple name of his own: “Elump.”

Maher poked fun at the now-infamous black eye Musk sported last week, which the X owner blamed on some roughhousing with his kid. Trump reportedly offered him makeup to cover it, which Musk declined. “And then Trump said, ‘which was interesting.’ Yeah, weird. Elon, what sort of man turns down makeup?” Maher laughed.

The HBO host walked viewers through the beef blow-by-blow: Musk slammed Trump’s “big beautiful bill” as a “disgusting abomination,” Trump accused Musk of having “Trump derangement syndrome,” and Musk warned that Trump’s tariff plans could spark a recession — or as Maher accidentally (and hilariously) said, an “erection.”

It didn’t stop there. Maher reminded viewers that Trump claimed Musk was bitter because he removed EV mandates that supposedly propped up Tesla sales — a claim Musk has denied. Musk then threw Epstein conspiracy shade, suggesting Trump had something to hide.

“This is just a war that keeps escalating,” Maher said, before joking that “the winner faces Blake Lively.”

And as tensions rise, Maher joked about the possibility of things getting even pettier. “Tomorrow, Elon’s apparently stopping by the White House to pick up his CDs and the mixtape they made together.”

But it could get real — Trump is now threatening to yank Musk’s government contracts and subsidies. “Cool,” Maher deadpanned. “So I guess in the end, Elon did save the taxpayer money.”
