50-year-old comedian Chelsea Handler said she could do a lot for the country but having sex with Elon Musk was not one of them. The light conversation was part of a music festival in Austin, which is also where Elon Musk has moved most of his projects. The comedian was interviewed by journalist Kara Swisher where she spoke about politics, Donald Trump 2.0 and Elon Musk.
“You know the first Trump presidency, for instance, I let it take me down, and I let it steal my joy. And I am not going to do that again,” Handler said. “It’s the power of being optimistic in the dark and not going down a wormhole.”
Then Swisher suggested that Handler may think about dating Elon Musk and try to persuade him away from the dark side. “I told her to take one for the team and date Elon Musk and bring him back,” Swisher said.
“There’s a lot I would do for the country, but having sex with Elon Musk is not one of them. I can’t,” Handler said.
“I like a variety of men. I like men in my life,” she clarified to Swisher. “I’m not a settle-down kind of girl.” Swisher told her she would be Vice President JD Vance’s nightmare. “Those types of men that want to keep women at home and being mothers, and you know, not having a career, like that’s just so antiquated and it’s so slow and it’s so boring,” the comedian responded. “I think the political situation we’re in is a direct reflection of the fact that men are so scared of women. Like why are you acting like this if you’re not?”
Handler expressed her strong disapproval of Elon Musk frequenting the Oval Office.
“I mean did anyone vote for Elon Musk to be the president?’ she said. “I mean, can’t we come together—Republicans and Democrats—and say we don’t want that. Can’t we agree on that at least?”
“I don’t know why we can’t somehow figure out a way to get together and at least have one goal in mind to not be, you know, a Russian asset.”
