In a dramatic farewell to late-night television, comedian Jimmy Kimmel used his final episode on February 5 to take one last shot at Elon Musk, sending a 12-word message that has left fans and critics stunned.
While the exact message remains undisclosed, those close to the production claim it was a direct and unapologetic jab at Musk, possibly referencing their past clashes over politics, free speech, and social media. Some believe it was a sarcastic farewell, while others speculate it may have been a final attempt to provoke a response from the billionaire.

Kimmel and Musk have a history of public clashes, with Kimmel frequently using his platform to criticize Musk’s controversial business moves and outspoken online presence. Musk, in turn, has never hesitated to fire back, often mocking Kimmel and other Hollywood figures for what he sees as hypocrisy and out-of-touch elitism.

Fans of Kimmel saw the move as a perfect way to cap off his career, while Musk’s supporters dismissed it as yet another example of a mainstream celebrity taking a cheap shot at a billionaire who has disrupted industries.
Musk has yet to comment on the message, but given his reputation, many expect a fiery or sarcastic response soon. One thing is clear—even though Jimmy Kimmel’s show is over, the drama between him and Musk is far from finished.
