Bill Burr's Critique of Elon Musk

In a fiery segment on “The Breakfast Club” radio show, comedian Bill Burr continued his critique of Elon Musk, questioning how the billionaire can still maintain a job after allegedly endorsing Nazi symbolism. Burr's comments come in light of Musk making controversial gestures at President Trump’s inauguration, gestures that have left many, including Burr, scratching their heads.

“I just don’t understand how many veterans and people in the armed services fought to stop Hitler, yet this guy comes along and performs a salute,” Burr stated, expressing disbelief over Musk's continued popularity amidst such actions. He dramatically noted the contradiction in being a so-called immigrant who praises Hitler. “It’s like, how can people say ‘support the troops’ and then stand by someone who gives a shout-out to Nazi ideology?”

Burr's Non-Partisan Stance

Burr emphasized that his disdain for Musk isn't rooted in partisan politics, yet he feels both Republicans and Democrats have failed to adequately confront the situation. “I’m not coming at this as a Republican diss. Not all Republicans are giving Nazi salutes. But the fact that liberals had just one day of outrage really shocked me. After that, it was as if they just moved on with their lives,” he pointed out, lamenting the apparent brevity of public outrage.

Previous Critiques and Frustrations

Further amplifying his criticism, Burr previously made waves during an interview with NPR’s “Fresh Air,” where he described Musk as an “idiot” with “dyed hair plugs” and a “laminated face.” His biting remarks did not stop there; he escalated his condemnation by labeling Musk's actions as deliberate. “I refuse to buy that it was an accidental two-time Sieg Heil,” he asserted.

Burr vented frustration towards what he perceives as a lack of backbone in the liberal response to Musk's actions. “This is why I find liberals so frustrating. There’s no bite! They make a fuss and say they want to leave the country, but c’mon, you’re going to let one guy with hair plugs get to you? Why are we scared of someone who can’t even fight his way out of a wet paper bag?” he exclaimed, emphasizing the absurdity of the situation.

New Comedy Special

His new comedy special, “Drop Dead Years,” which showcases his incisive humor and takes on social issues, is now streaming on Hulu. Burr's audacious commentary continues to resonate with audiences, sparking conversations about societal outrage and accountability in the face of controversial figures.
