“Daily Show” correspondent Ronny Chieng made a fashion statement against Elon Musk on Thursday after a group funded by the billionaire used the wrong photo in an attack ad toward a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate.
“Hey, maybe Elon Musk just needs glasses. I mean, it could change everything,” said Chieng as he pretended to put on spectacles.
“He’d be like, ‘Oh, my God, that Cybertruck looks like shit.’”
The Musk-backed nonprofit Building America’s Future, which supported President Donald Trump and GOP candidates in the 2024 election, launched the botched ad against Dane County Court Judge Susan Crawford in what’s been called the most expensive judicial race in American history.
The race is heating up between Democrat-backed candidate Crawford and conservative candidate Brad Schimel, a former state attorney general, as donations pour into the race from the likes of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) and billionaire George Soros, as well as Musk-backed groups.
Ahead of Tuesday’s election, Building America’s Future put out an ad that inaccurately featured a snap of Harvard University law professor Susan P. Crawford instead of a picture of the judicial candidate.
Chieng scolded Musk for spending “so much money on attack ads” that he’s “not even paying attention” to who they’re attacking.
“Now I know $20 million sounds like a lot but remember that Elon has over $300 billion,” said Chieng of the reported investment in the race by Musk-backed groups.
