Leslie Jones Goes Off the Rails on The Daily Show with Profanity-Laced Rant Against Conservatives and Elon Musk
In what many are calling a deranged meltdown, comedian and former SNL host Leslie Jones used her guest-hosting slot on The Daily Show this week to deliver one of the most vulgar and hate-filled tirades ever aired on cable television — aimed squarely at Elon Musk, President Donald Trump, and the broader conservative movement.
Jones’s rant, delivered in front of a cheering studio audience, quickly devolved from late-night commentary into a profane, violent, and disturbing verbal attack that raised serious ethical and legal questions.
Jones Mocks, Threatens Musk and Trump Officials
Throughout the segment, Jones referred to Trump’s team as “racist,” “unqualified dheads,” and “goofy-a motherf**ers.” She didn’t stop there. She suggested physically assaulting Musk, saying:
“If this guy gave me a pink slip, I’d give his a** a black eye. Why don’t you fire one of them hats, b**ch!”
She also made bizarre sexual comments about Musk’s parenting, saying she’d rather “f**k a turkey baster,” and mocked his appearance and intelligence.
Even Musk’s lighthearted remark about “wearing many hats” at a cabinet meeting with President Trump became fodder for outrage.
Beyond Comedy: Crossing the Line Into Threats
Jones’s segment was far from satire. It carried hostile rhetoric, potential incitement, and sexually explicit insults that would get almost anyone else immediately suspended, if not banned, from a media platform.
“This is a cabinet meeting! Have some damn respect!” she shouted — before going on to suggest Musk should be beaten.
Ironically, Jones demanded professionalism in government while acting in a manner that many viewers described as unhinged, violent, and vulgar.
