Bill Burr Torches Elon Musk and His ‘Piece of Sh*t Car’ After Being Told He’s Trending for Slamming the Billionaire: ‘Nerds Ruining the World’

 

Comedian Bill Burr doubled down on calling Elon Musk a “Nazi” after being told that his commentary on the billionaire had him trending on social media.

Burr joined The Breakfast Club on Friday and was informed of the online chatter about him calling Musk an “idiot” who is “evidently a Nazi.”

“That guy, like he’s going to lead– like who evidently is a Nazi. Like, I just refuse to believe that it was an accidental two-time Sieg Heil. And he does it at a presidential inauguration. This is why I hate liberals. It’s like liberals have no teeth whatsoever,” Burr told NPR’s Fresh Air this week.

On The Breakfast Club, Burr said he merely presented a “common sense comment that we shouldn’t have a Nazi” near the White House.

Musk sparked outrage and heated debate after he gave a salute at an inauguration event for President Donald Trump that many felt was a Sieg Heil Nazi gesture. Musk pushed back on the outrage, and supporters claimed he was giving a Roman salute that was misinterpreted.

Burr waved off people defending Musk and his gesture.

“What I don’t get is the amount of veterans, people in the armed services, that died to stop Hitler and then this guy comes in, you know, and does that, while being an immigrant too which is — the whole thing, none of it tracks,” the comedian said, accusing Musk of giving a “shoutout to Hitler.”

He also blasted Musk for his work with DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), specifically calling him out for an email in which he asked federal employees to spell out their workload.

“I don’t understand why they’re so upset with this country. You’re billionaires. I think it’s working for you. Why are you going and telling everybody, justify what you do. It’s like, justify what you do! That piece of shit car you’re making that the government financed,” Burr said.

Burr insisted his comments were “politicized” and his comments on Musk and billionaires have nothing to do with Republicans.

“I’m not trashing Republicans. All Republicans did not sieg heil. That guy did and I was just amazed that all liberals had was one day of outrage. Then they’re like, ‘Oh, I guess that didn’t work.’ And I guess we just kind of move on,” he said.

Charlamagne Tha God brought up another viral comment of Burr’s in which the comedian said billionaires are like “rabid dogs” that should be “put down.”

Burr laughed off outrage over the comment, saying he was “exaggerating” for his podcast. He also lamented that “nerds” are the ones “ruining the world,” referring to Musk and other billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg.

“I do find it funny though that it’s nerds that are ruining the world because they always used to go after frat boys and stuff. Now look at it,” he said. “It’s all of these, I don’t know, they’re all getting, like, hair plugs — I don’t understand the CEO, they take jiu jitsu and they eat raw almonds.”
