I would like to personally thank the robot dancer for the penguin waddle they did on their way off-stage.

So does this mean we're finally acknowledging that putting billionaires and corporations above the law is a problem or too early?

The bomber jacket with the black T-Shirt, beer belly, thinning, unbrushed hair and cowboy boots is spot on. I swear he walked right out of a south Missouri trailer park. The drugs are really starting to show.

While wearing a jacket from Ralph Lauren’s ‘Midlife Crisis Collection’ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oliver: “I’ve never actually revolutionized an industry myself” Um excuse me? Professional marble racing would disagree.

"The rest of us still call it twitter" is highly accurate

"Tell it to Earth"?? Is Earth one of his progeny? 😂😂

“One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so-but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The fact that billionaires can apparently just deny access to safety inspections for their businesses kinda makes it seem like the billionaire has more power than the safety inspectors. And that should definitely be the other way around. They shouldn't need permission. They should be able to get police to accompany them and force their way in if necessary. But that would require police to be protecting the people in the business instead of the business property so I can see why we don't do that in America.

It is, as always, absolutely stunning how John nails it to the point where we choke on our laughter and realise just how serious things are getting...

“And even then, it could have been a text 🏡 🔥 “ 😂

" wearing a jacket from Ralph Lauren's mid life crisis collection" ... writers on the show are doing a good job😂😂

I like that John Oliver is saying he's never revolutionized despite the fact that the media has a term for the changes he has caused and named it "The John Oliver Effect"

As an autistic, I think Elon Musk provides valuable representation for the community: he proves we can be stupid, egotistical, petty, amoral assholes just like everyone else!

At 9:00 funny how he explains that they can't sell cars for less than the cost to produce, but had no problem taking orders and money for the future sale before he had any idea what it would actually cost.

The Cyber Truck stainless steel is rusting if it gets wet, you can’t make this shit up! 🤣

Knowing Elon watched this and got upset really makes the replayability of this video sky rocket.

Anyone else see an IUD every time you see the Tesla logo? Just me?

Elon didn't start Tesla, he bought it

You know if one person can be the CEO of 5 companies maybe the job isn’t as hard as they claim.

How is it possible that a company can deny access to state inspectors? That's insane.

Roman generals coming home from a victorious campaign used to have someone to constantly remind them that in the grand scheme, they are no different than the commoners cheering for them. We need that for billionaires.

To be fair, Elon Musk changed my life. Thanks to him I left Twitter. I've never been happier.

Technically, alcohol is not a solution. It is a solvent. It would only be a solution if there was an otherwise solid chemical dissolved in it.

Can we talk about how John's robot dancer was more talented, had more control, and the costume design was better?

Uh, wtf. Is it legal to have these Teslas test drive on city streets?!

He did say self-driving needs only be better than a human. Which is what I would say if my software was shit.

Love that John posed that the fight between Zuck and Elon be in a volcano, and Zuck is currently building a supervillain base in one. Perfect.

Phoning me at three in the morning, someone better be bleeding. I was a trauma tech.

Musky needed to be called out. Who else but John Oliver?😂😂

“I’m probably now more impressed by what he’s doing, but more worried by the fact that he’s the one who’s been doing it.” This is the perfect description of Elon Musk.

While going on a cave trek in Asia a few years ago, my guide happened to be one of the British divers that was coordinating efforts in the Thailand soccer team rescue when the cave they were visiting was flooded. I asked him about Elon's solution at the time (that pod submarine thing), and his response was that it risked all the lives of that soccer team, because the experts told him it wouldn't work right away, but he refused to listen and brought a giant media frenzy to an extremely delicate operation anyway and ended up delaying rescue operations by crucial days.

That robot dancer really nailed it

I saw that cyber truck on the 210 this week and wondered wth it was. Question answered 😂

"Messiah complex" nails it on the head. Musk claimed there would be no one alive who knew more about manufacturing than he himself.

It's kind of hilarious that Elon is doing this "you killed Twitter, not me" thing like the whole world is going to be so mad if Twitter is gone.

Ah, the US, where the spoiled princes of late stage capitalism are granted the powers to play gods at the expense of society.

Anyone else ponder that Musk is starting to look like those evil face stretching aliens from the Star Trek movie? 🤔😬

I have to disagree with one thing you said, John. The turning point moment, at least for me, wasn't the pandemic lockdowns. It was in 2018 when he called that rescue diver "pedo" on Twitter. THAT was the moment I knew what musk really was.

The fact that a company can just tell inspectors to "come back later" is mind-boggling. It contradicts the point of inspections...

All I can say is that I'm hearing guillotine sounds in the far distance.

seeing more and more tesla bumper stickers saying 'I bought this before I knew how horrible he was'

I'm fairly sure I've heard more people call it _"The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter"_ than I've heard them call it _X_ and that makes me very happy

Dunking on Elon by having a better dancing "robot" was just the cherry on the top! 😄

Loved the test for “can protect against a bear attack” 😂😂😂😂

I'm loving this so much, that robot segment was gold, pure, refined, unadulterated gold.

Wow, that dancer was really good. I look forward to our new John Oliver Robot Overlords.

This is arguably the nicest breakdown of Elon Musk that John Oliver could’ve done. John completely skipped over how Elon proposed the hyper loop, which was suppose to “replace highways”. Originally conveyed as the future of public transport, the project ultimately produce a small underground tunnel that people would take a Tesla Uber through. It was a thinly veiled distraction from a proposed high speed train in California that would have provided both a cheap and environmentally friendly option. I think that example ultimately encompasses what Musk has always been. A guy who is constantly spoke about as an innovator trying to save humanity, but always doing it by the most costly means to society that only benefit a few people and distract from the wider more effective sweeping changes.

Elon went up in my estimation when he awarded starlink to ukraine ....and it did a nose dive when he withdrew it and became a twitter overlord holding hands with pootin

Space X achievements: "Making space easier and more affordable to access" 🤣🤣🤣

I lost all respect, what little I already had, when he falsely accused that man who rescued the Thai boys diving team of being a pedophile simply because he beat Elon musk to rescuing those boys because Elon was too busy stroking his ego talking about his plans for some Futuristic submarine to save them when that wasn’t even necessary as proven by the man who actually saved them. Calling somebody a pedophile just because your ego got bruised is so disgusting.

"There are people who utterly hate Elon Musk" Why you gotta bring his dad into this?🤣

Reminds me of how Elon Musk blamed former Twitter Employees of "Not having Loyalty" after he already fired them. 👨🏿‍💻

Winning a marathon, then very intentionally running in the wrong direction in the next race, while claiming you're winning.

11:17 it’s also the car from the movie Upgrade, The one that killed the driver. The Cybertruck was announced in November 2019 while Upgrade was 2018, So Elon just saw the murder car In a movie and went “Yes I want that, Make me that.”

I live for John beefing with the richest megalomaniac in existence. The results would be hilarious.

Hello, my name is WestofEarth, and I'm a recovering Musk fanboi. It was the pandemic bullsh*t he was spreading where I hit rock bottom. I've had a sober intellect for 4 years now.

It´s actually amazing how funny the humor in this show is.

The bear suit tho 😂😂💀

Can we appreciate how fly that robot's dancing was

Statistics joke: Just because something is a "net positive," doesn't mean that you can all of a sudden ignore the "gross."

This video is half an hour long yet it feels like it barely scratches the surface of who Elon Musk is and what he has done.

Hush and hush and hush !!! I’m giggling too much 👩🏽🤣🤣🤣 I love it !

"Elon likes drama" is by far the easiest explanation for why he owns Twitter

Oh yes. Depress me, you angry tea kettle. Throw me into an existential crisis, you sickly toucan.

5:15 This is literally the motivation of Lex Luthor

Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers most underrated show from my childhood that and Talespin

That is really scary, how much of government stuff got outsourced to Musk. I honestly had no idea how bad it was.

“Narcissists will destroy your life, erode your self-esteem, and do it with such stealth as to make you feel that you are the one that's letting them down.”

someone who lives in my area has a cybertruck, literally did not understand what it was till now

That acrobat was great.

As my daughter once said to someone else when she was 11, "you think you're edgy and cool, but you're not."

I saw a meme calling him "Space Karen" and now that is all I can see when I look at him

Yoooo this 💩 is fkn terrifying 😳! I feel like I'm in a cheesy 70's action/sci-fi movie but without the hero😱. Thank you John and your phenomenal staff for keeping us informed and STILL makin' us laugh out LOUD at the ridiculousness of it all. ✊🏾👊🏾✌🏾💞

That combo of antisemitism and Google's "I feel lucky" at 7:07 - oh my 😂

The issue with billionaires is exactly the same as the issue with kings, too much power on a single person that can snap at any point

Saving humanity begins with saving the human first. "You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs." It's always someone else's eggs.

"Like Hebry ford he......" Ohhh I see where this is going to go.

real talk: John's robot was a waaaaay better dancer than Elon's robot

I've worked on projects for the Tesla Fremont plant. I was not responsible for the energy efficiency documentation, as that was handled by Tesla's in-house engineers. I was fairly certain what we were executing was not energy code compliant, since we were effectively air conditioning a large tent, but I wasn't responsible for that aspect. When the drawing set was released for submission to the city of Fremont, I checked the energy efficiency documentation, and the page was blank. In the corner, a note that basically said no energy efficiency calculations were needed, because this building was already "indirectly" air conditioned by double doors at each end which are propped open and the spaces they lead to are air conditioned. Which is a little bit like saying your garage is air conditioned because you can prop open the door to your house. I was not involved enough with the project beyond that point, but I don' t think they would have put something so brazenly inaccurate there if they didn't think they'd get away with it. By the way, this "tent" was only legal because it was officially a "temporary" structure, despite the contents being very expensive and rigidly anchored equipment.

He wanted to be real life Iron Man, now he's real life Dr. Eggman

Elon Musk is one volcano away from being a bond villain.

Looks like John Oliver’s robot is far more advanced. Putting in my pre order now.

I just loved the bit where John pulled the maps of Afghanistan and Iraq...the ooorgh from the audience was priceless. Great hit, John! So look guys ice them and the swelling will go down in a day or two!.🤣🤣🤣🤣

That robot went from any nerdy kid at a dance to Magic Mike, that was quite the software update.

Tax the hell out of these billionaires!!!

Electric cars are not the answer because cars are not the answer. The answer is technology from centuries ago: Trains. They are safer, cheaper, and more effective.

"If I could only be a fly on that wall, I'd have flown straight into a hot light bulb."

In regards to lockdowns, he tried to have his Tesla employees classified as "essential workers" on the same level of importance as grocery and medical workers, and when the state of California denied him, that's when he said he was going to open the factories anyway.

Elon Musk is becoming the Bill Mumy character in "It's A Good Life".

two of the things that can get you fired at tesla: not wearing your safety glasses on the floor and pointing out to him that he doesn't have his safety glasses on.

I don’t think a democracy can function when so much power is able to be held by one person.

This is too big a topic for 1 part. Definitely would love to see a second part diving deeper into the stuff that was left out and stuff just touched on.

Ralph Lauren's midlife crisis collection! Lol😂

I’ve always hash tagged #LexLuthor when responding to Musk. Thanx for your acknowledgment.

Let's not forget him popping into Flint during the lead water crisis to "fix" it with a miniscule amount of money and a water treatment system that didn't work.

I pay for HBO, but I still find myself watching you on KZfaq

Future James Bond Villains will be called Elon Musk

I guess it's kind of hard to explain stuff when you're higher than a kite😅

He didn't even mention the funniest part of the Zuckerberg callout which was that Elon had his mom make a press release stating that she couldn't let her baby boy be clobbered.
