John Oliver Reacts to Elon Musk’s ‘Woke’ Weak Sauce Comment
- Comedian John Oliver and Tesla CEO Elon Musk seem to be involved in a feud, with Musk recently labelling Oliver as “woke” and “weak sauce”. This appears to be a response to Oliver’s critique of Musk in a segment on his show “Last Week Tonight”.
- Musk’s critique of Oliver went further, with him suggesting that Oliver isn’t funny because he is too keen to pander to ‘wokeness’, which Musk describes as fundamentally a lie. Musk argues that great humor requires revealed truth.
- Oliver’s response to Musk’s criticism is largely dismissive, stating that he doesn’t know what Musk means by ‘woke’, and suggesting that Musk is thin-skinned. Oliver also humorously comments on the potential continuation of their feud, offering a response that seemingly contradicts Musk’s assessment of his humor.
