The comedian explained on NPR's Fresh Air why he doesn't think liberals should be afraid to push back on the X CEO in a brutal rant.

Stand-up comedian Bill Burr quashed fears about tech billionaire Elon Musk being any sort of a threat to Americans in a no-holds-barred rant on NPR’s Fresh Air podcast.

The Tesla CEO wasn't the only target of Burr's ire.


He went after liberals having "no teeth" and whining about "that idiot Elon Musk" and his unhinged behavior.

Burr said that his goal right now in comedy was to get people to "stop yelling at each other" and get them to realize their gripe is aimed at "a select group of nerds eating their raw almonds and doing their stupid workouts" while the rest of us were "getting pushed down."

With his New England rage-branded humor, Burr tore liberals, explaining why he hates them, especially in their response to Musk-related news headlines like his infamous twice-gestured Sieg Heil at Republican President Donald Trump's inauguration.

"They just go, ‘Oh my God, can you believe this? I’m getting out of the country!’ " said Burr of the pearl-clutching from liberals.

"I’m just like, you’re gonna leave the country? Because of one guy with dyed hair plugs and a laminated face who makes a bad car and has an obsolete social media platform? Why doesn't he leave?"

You can listen to the bit here.

Social media users were in stitches over Burr's description of Musk.











The "comedian's comedian" is famous for his ragey humor, which was on full display when he recently shredded conservative pundit Ben Shapiro for calling him "woke" in response to his comments about insurance CEO's being afraid after the fatal shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson by alleged gunman Luigi Mangione.

Burr also didn't hold back after Howie Mandel put him on the spot in January when he brought in surprise guest star Smashing Pumpkins' guitarist Billy Corgan on the Howie Does Stuff podcast to discuss how Corgan and Burr may have the same father.

Burr called Mandel an "a**hole" and aimed his frustration at Corgan, who was convinced that Burr was open to discussing their supposed family ties.

Burr stopped by the Fresh Air podcast to promote his new one-hour special on Hulu, Drop Dead Years.

Described as "what might be his most personal and introspective hour yet," Burr will tackle "everything from male sadness to dating advice."

Drop Dead Years begins streaming on Hulu on March 14.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
