Late-night hosts seized on the incident as comedic fodder. Seth Meyers compared Musk’s behavior to the stalker character in the 1996 film The Cable Guy and warned Trump that Musk had “Cable Guy’d” him. Jimmy Fallon joked about Musk and Bezos battling for Trump’s affection, likening it to a scene from the ’90s family movie Air Bud. Stephen Colbert speculated that Musk believed he could overshadow Trump’s influence once Trump takes office.

Critics online accused Musk of feeling insecure over his relationship with Trump. Many viewed his actions as a signal that he refused to let another billionaire gain more influence over the president-elect. “This bromance isn’t going to last,” Abramson wrote, predicting conflicts between Musk and Trump.

Musk’s sudden appearance not only fueled jokes but also raised questions about his strategy. Some analysts argued Musk sought to disrupt Bezos’ positioning with Trump. Others suggested he wanted to demonstrate his dominance in tech and political circles.

Trump’s Reaction to the Dinner Criticism

Despite the backlash, Trump seemed unfazed. The next morning, he posted on Truth Social, declaring, “EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND!!!” The comment suggested Trump reveled in the attention, regardless of the awkward dynamics.
