Bill Maher Unveils New Trump-Musk 'Couple Name' As Their Bromance Combusts
HuffPost
The "Real Time" host was full of pop-culture references Friday in trouncing the apparent end of one of America's most controversial relationships.
Bill Maher unloaded on President Donald Trump and Elon Musk over their public fallout, as he christened the former allies Friday with a pop culture-inspired nickname on the latest edition of “Real Time With Bill Maher.”
“I mean when you think about it, the richest man in the world and the most powerful man in the world, it’s like Godzilla versus King Kong — if Godzilla was on ketamine and King Kong had a combover,” Maher joked to applause during his opening monologue.
“I mean, these guys were so close,” the comedian continued. “It was like ‘Brangelina’ or ‘Bennifer.’ No, you know that Elon and Trump, they had their own couple name — ‘Elump.’ And you know, what happened this week — this has been brewing for a while, OK people?”
“Brangelina” and “Bennifer” were the respective nicknames for former couples Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. While many fans were shocked when those particular romances crumbled, Maher argued Friday that it was clear “Elump” would.
Musk spent a fortune to help elect Trump and also headed the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which has gutted key institutions and fired thousands of federal staffers with the stated aim of supposedly cutting wasteful public spending.
