THE FEUD HEARING ROUND THE WORLD! John Oliver weighs in on Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s Twitter tussle, and it’s a savage takedown.”Both of them have hair that’s expensive and wrong” and ‘Real Housewives’.

John Oliver Roasts Trump and Musk’s Feud: “Real Housewife Energy” Takes Over Social Media

The internet was set ablaze last week as two of America’s most polarizing figures—Donald Trump and Elon Musk—engaged in a public feud that quickly devolved into a spectacle of mutual insults, threats, and viral memes. The drama reached such fever pitch that even comedian John Oliver couldn’t resist weighing in, delivering a scathing and hilarious monologue on the June 9, 2025 episode of Last Week Tonight.

A Feud Fit for Reality TV

It all began when Elon Musk publicly slammed Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” branding it a “disgusting abomination.” Trump, never one to back down, fired back on Truth Social, threatening to cut Musk’s federal contracts. Musk responded in kind, hinting at decommissioning SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft.

Things escalated further when Musk referenced Trump’s alleged ties to the infamous Epstein files. Trump retaliated, declaring Musk had “lost his mind” and ominously warning of “serious consequences” if Musk funded Democratic candidates.

As the insults flew, social media exploded with memes and hot takes. Political figures, celebrities, and influencers jumped into the fray, turning the feud into a full-blown internet phenomenon.

John Oliver’s Take: “Real Housewife Energy”

On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver couldn’t help but lampoon the drama. Drawing comparisons to the notorious reality show Real Housewives, Oliver quipped:

“They basically spent a full day fighting with big Real Housewives energy. In fact, at one point, Andy Cohen posted, ‘Let me host the reunion!’ Which makes complete sense to me because, at their core, these two men are real housewives: both of them have hair that’s expensive and wrong, both have sketchy business ventures that I don’t fully understand, they both spend far too much time online and if either of them isn’t the center of attention for a single second, they will die.”

Oliver continued, painting a vivid picture of the spectacle:

“Honestly, the only thing that’s missing is a messy in-person confrontation where Andy Cohen gets one of them to read a tweet and the other throws a daiquiri in his face. Why can’t we have this?”

Not About Politics—It’s About Attention

Oliver’s monologue cut straight to the heart of the matter: this wasn’t a serious political or business dispute. Instead, it was a battle for attention—two larger-than-life personalities desperate to remain in the spotlight.

Social Media Reacts

The feud quickly became a trending topic, with users churning out memes and celebrities piling on with their own takes. Andy Cohen, the king of reality TV reunions, even tweeted, “LET ME HOST THE REUNION!”—cementing the feud’s place as pure entertainment gold.

Conclusion

In the end, the Trump-Musk spat was less about policy and more about performance, providing the internet with a week’s worth of drama, laughs, and meme material. And thanks to John Oliver’s razor-sharp wit, the whole affair was immortalized as the ultimate reality TV showdown—minus the daiquiris (for now).
