John Oliver has described Elon Musk as having a “skinny pores and skin” in response to feedback he made concerning the comic on social media.

Earlier this month, the Tesla CEO criticised Oliver in a publish on X, the place he accused him of “pandering to wokeness”.

“It’s quite tragic to see an in any other case succesful comic like @iamjohnoliver turn out to be weak sauce,” he wrote. “The rationale he’s not very humorous as of late is as a result of he’s too eager to pander to wokeness, which is basically a lie, whereas nice humour requires revealed fact.”

His feedback had been in response to a section mocking Musk on Final Week Tonight With John Oliver final month, the place the comic gave an outline of his profession.

After Musk’s feedback on X, Oliver has now shared his verdict on their ongoing feud. Requested by TMZ why he thinks Musk has singled him out, the comic replied: “You’re going to have to trace him down and ask him. I don’t know, that’s a skinny pores and skin.

“I can’t presumably fake what’s in that man’s thoughts at any time. He appears wounded. He’s positively delicate, that’s a organic truth.”

When requested concerning the pandering to “wokeness” criticism, Oliver replied: “I don’t know what meaning. I don’t assume [Musk] might clarify what meaning, and I believe it means nothing. I don’t know actually what he’s speaking about.”

On his present (by way of the Guardian), Oliver described Musk as a “man who can pull off just about any bad-guy-in-a-movie look”.

Going by way of Musk’s “vary” of seems, the comic added: “There’s ‘I simply purchased your media firm, I’m about to strip you for elements’. There’s house’s first racist sheriff. And eventually, the much less fuckable reimagining of Billy Zane’s character in Titanic. Actually, the person has vary.”
