Seth Meyers takes A Closer Look at the Musk-Trump social media feud

Mashable - Fri, 06/06/2025 - 12:15

Donald Trump and Elon Musk's post-DOGE exit feud has hit the social media mudslinging phase, with extremely serious accusations, contract termination threats, and petty name-calling erupting on Trump's Truth Social and Musk's X.

Late night show hosts like Stephen Colbert and (in the clip above) Seth Meyers have been unpacking each step in the break-up of the year. The political backscratcher duo of the U.S. president and the richest man in the world has quickly and publicly crumbled, with Musk and Trump now throwing barbs at each other within press conferences and on social media — including Trump threatening to terminate Musk's government contracts, Musk threatening to retire SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, and Musk publicly claiming, "Donald Trump is in the Epstein files."

“Holy shit! In the span of three hours, they went from Elon criticising the bill, to Trump threatening to take Elon’s contracts away, to Elon suggesting that Trump might be a pedophile," Meyers said in his "A Closer Look" segment on Thursday's Late Night. "Also, if we were to take you at your word, Elon, you already knew that — and it wasn’t a dealbreaker."

SEE ALSO: Seth Meyers takes 'A Closer Look' at Musk and Trump's U-turn

Meyers wrapped up by taking a broader look at the bigger picture.

"It's as clear as ever that neither of these guys really believed in anything. Elon spent nearly $300 million to get Republicans elected, and now he's shocked that they're doing the thing everyone said they would do. And in the process, Trump used Elon to get back into power. You know, in a way, they were right. Watching these guys destroy each other is both big and beautiful," Meyers said (using a clip of Trump saying “beautiful” to finish his sentence).

This week, our vodcast series co-host, Senior Creative Producer Mark Stetson, played a rousing game of Choose Your Squad with Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, and Ben Wang, stars of the kick-butt new movie Karate Kid: Legends.

Stay tuned after Bob's interview for Chan, Wang, and Macchio, as they dream up the all-time Karate Kid battle, bringing in characters from the original trilogy, the 2010 spinoff, Cobra Kai, and — of course — Karate Kid: Legends. On top of the joy of dreaming up such a showdown, this winsome trio also imagined how Jackie Chan might team up with the Cobra Kai crew. It's a blast you won't want to miss.

Stephen Colberts rundown of the Musk-Trump flame war is pure gold

Mashable - Fri, 06/06/2025 - 11:48

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s post-DOGE exit feud has not only reached the point of the words "Epstein files" being dropped in an X post, but it's moved Stephen Colbert to deliver one of the best monologues you’ll see on late night in an age.

"Is this Twitter war a Cheesy Gordita Crunchwrap Supreme? Because it’s dripping hot messy filth and I am eating up every sloppy bite," said Colbert on Thursday night.

The richest man in the world and the U.S. president's relationship has quickly and very publicly soured over the last week. Despite seemingly being best friends mere days ago, both have since taken to social media to sling serious mud at each other.

SEE ALSO: Jon Stewart gleefully unpacks Elon Musk's DOGE exit and his 'special' key

Colbert took The Late Show audience through every step and tweet in Musk and Trump's ongoing “flame war” on Thursday, from Trump’s comments about Musk in a scathing press conference and writing contract-threatening and "Elon was wearing thin" posts on Truth Social, to Musk threatening to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft and retweeting a post suggesting "Trump should be impeached."

If there’s a step in this petty feud that you’ve missed, Colbert will remind you of it, running all the way up to Musk publicly claiming, "Donald Trump is in the Epstein files," and Kanye West inexplicably entering the chat.

"You know things are bad when the rational voice meditating your dispute is Kanye West," said Colbert. "That’s like walking into an intervention organised by Captain Morgan."

Fitbit is one of the most recognizable names in the fitness tracker market, and for good reason. They are great watches with a wide range of functions. But if you're looking for an all-rounder tracker with both fitness and lifestyle features, I recommend the Versa 4.

And as of June 6, you can find the Fitbit Versa 4 for just $149.95 at Amazon. This deal can be found in all color options: black, pink sand, and waterfall blue.

SEE ALSO: Every single Fitbit is on sale for up to 25% off

I've tested this Fitbit a lot, and in my opinion, it's an excellent choice afor just about everyone. Whether you're hoping to run a 5K or want to get some insights into your sleeping habits, this watch has a bit of everything.

There are over 40 sports tracking modes that include running, swimming, cycling, and general workout features. However, it's worth noting that the battery life isn't as long-lasting for long-distance activities as the likes of Garmin or Coros. So if you're looking to push into marathon territory, check out the Forerunner range instead.

Other features of the Versa include heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and built-in GPS so you can head outside for activities without your phone. And style-wise, the Versa 4 ticks all the boxes. It has a bright AMOLED display with vibrant colors and images and is touchscreen-controlled, so it's easy to use as well as stylish on your wrist.
