Elon Musk Criticizes Jimmy Kimmel After Tesla Vandalism Mockery

Elon Musk has publicly criticized Jimmy Kimmel after the late-night host made light of the recent vandalism targeting Tesla dealerships and the company's plummeting stock prices. Kimmel's sarcastic remarks during his monologue, which included a joke about Tesla's financial struggles, sparked backlash from Musk, who called him an 'unfunny jerk' on social media. Amidst growing protests against Musk's leadership and significant layoffs linked to his decisions, the vandalism incidents have raised concerns, with some officials labeling them as 'domestic terrorism.' Musk expressed disbelief at the hostility directed towards Tesla, claiming it contradicts the empathetic values attributed to the political left.
