TEXAS – The world’s richest man Elon Musk has hit out at South African comedian Trevor Noah, deriding him as someone who had lost relevance, after the comic made a joke about slain American right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk.
Musk, who is also of South African descent, was reacting to a segment by Noah during which he said there was humour in the way that Kirk had met his end.
Mocking those who had called for the murder not to be joked about, Noah said;
“You can’t say there is nothing funny about it… As a comedian I am sure there is something funny about it. The guy was shot whilst defending guns. I am not even writing that as a joke; as a human you have to admit that is an incongruous funny thing that happened.”
In response, Musk said that while Noah had been funny in the past, he had seemingly lost his edge as he tried to please his liberal supporters.
“Trevor was lauded for being a libtard cuck for so long that he hasn’t realised that he stopped being funny. The guy actually has talent, but needs to get the woke virus out of his brain,” Elon said.
Noah is a comedian best known for hosting The Daily Show on Comedy Central from 2015 to 2022.
Originally from South Africa, Noah has lived in the United States for the past ten years.
He left The Daily Show largely to focus on his stand-up career, travelling the world to perform at different venues.
