John Oliver noted all the controversy involving Elon last year and said that he “can play any bad guy in any movie.”
John Oliver spoke at length about Elon Musk on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight and hurled several insults at the billionaire tech mogul.
He called Elon Musk, owner of six companies including SpaceX, Tesla.
“There’s Lex Luthor posing for the monthly cover of Metropolis Maniacs. There’s “Why not, Mr. Bond?” Me and my little wife are waiting for you to die,” Oliver joked. There’s, “I just bought your media company and I’m going to get rid of some parts.” There’s the ‘First Racist Sheriff’.”
He continued: “And finally, the least messed-up reinvention of the Billy Zane character in Titanic. Actually, humans have access.”
Olive start pulling the strings of previous claim made by Musk
Oliver said Elon Musk has been in the news this year “from the test launch of his most powerful rocket ever to this week when he had to recall 2 million cars due to safety concerns.

” He also noted how Musk challenged Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight, “to which Zuckerberg responded, ‘Send me the location,’ and might I suggest ‘Internal Volcano’ to both of them.”
The HBO host also played a clip of Musk telling advertisers where to turn after a backlash over anti-Semitic posts on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. It was at this point that Oliver said Musk was dressed as Chip from the Disney animated series Rescue Rangers.

Oliver further explained that Musk has changed the way people understand him in the last year. The comedian cited that at one point, Musk was described as a “real-life Iron Man” and reminded that the billionaire had a cameo in Marvel’s Iron Man 2 alongside Robert Downey Jr.
As Oliver covered Musk’s rise, he played a clip in which he compared the Tesla owner to business magnate and Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford.
“Like Henry Ford, Elon Musk managed to take advantage of technology that others had invented.”
