Fox News host Jesse Watters is here to defend the sex appeal of the world’s richest man.
The conservative pundit declared on Friday’s edition of “The Five” that Elon Musk “never had a problem with getting girls,” rebutting jokes made by comedian Bill Burr about the Department of Government Efficiency head.
“He said Musk and his DOGE boys were nerds who couldn’t get girls when they were young,” Watters said Friday. “Now, I went and did a deep dive on the girls they were getting. Musk’s girlfriend in college was very pretty. Very pretty.”
He continued, “She was thin and had a nice face and she was very pretty. And then he had another girlfriend and they ended up getting married together and having, like, four children. So he had never had a problem with getting girls.”
Watters issued the bizarre defense amid overwhelming concern over the future of the U.S. economy following President Donald Trump’s announcement of steep international tariffs, as DOGE dismantles federal agencies in the purported aim of cutting wasteful public spending.
The broadcast journalist appeared affronted that Burr, who has frequently criticized both Democrats and Republicans, mocked Musk as a “nerd” during various television appearances over the past few weeks.
The Bostonian comic sat down on “The Tonight Show” last month to promote his Broadway debut in “Glengarry Glen Ross” and joked about Musk: “I am so sick of that guy trying to rewrite his origin story like he was Matthew McConaughey pulling into the high school.”
Addressing the Tesla CEO, he said, “You were a fucking nerd, nobody banged you and now you have hair plugs.”
Burr joked on “The View” the next day that “tech nerds” like Musk “want to build robots because they don’t know how to talk to hot women,” and said the SpaceX founder and his friends only want to travel to other planets because “they’re going to trash this one.”
Musk has been linked to numerous women over the years, and is father to 14 children from multiple relationships, according to Vanity Fair. One in particular, Vivian Wilson, now 20, has become one of his biggest critics.

Wilson, a trans woman, changed her full name in 2022 both to reflect her gender identity and to shed association with her billionaire father. Last year, Musk declared that Wilson was “dead” to him and “killed by the woke mind virus.”
