Bill Burr shares his opinion of Elon Musk and other billionaires: “They’re horrible, heartless people”

On Tuesday night, Jimmy Fallon had actor and comedian Bill Burr on the Tonight Show to talk about his Broadway debut with the Glengarry Glen Ross show.

Burr, not one to shy away from strong political beliefs, somehow turned the conversation to billionaires like Elon Musk, and he had a lot to say.

Burr calls billionaires “horrible, heartless people”

Burr brought up the topic himself. Fallon had asked Burr what the title of his Hulu standup special meant - “Drop Dead Years”.

While explaining the concept surrounding death, Fallon joked that it was very “positive”. That spurred on Burr’s next comments.

“Well, it’s a positive time, Jimmy. Billionaires are not happy having a billion dollars,” said Burr, which garnered applause from the audience.

From there, he picked on Elon Musk.

“Why does Elon Musk dress like he just got out of a Hot Topic? I am so sick of that guy trying to rewrite his origin story like he was Matthew McConaughey pulling into the high school,” Burr said as a reference to McConaughey’s character in “Dazed and Confused”.

“Like, you were a f**king nerd, nobody banged you and now you have hair plugs, and your laminated face.”

He went on to talk about how people are afraid of rich “nerds” these days. (The rant went on for about two minutes.)

“I don’t get it. My whole life, feminists were focusing on frat boys and guys with their hats on backwards, and they left the nerds alone,” said Burr. “And now look at ’em. They’ve got people wearing adult diapers driving 18-wheelers trying to get Crocs to the box store on time. They’re horrible, heartless people!”

“And then, for some reason, if you say that, you’re like a communist. And then we’re in bed with the Russians,” he went on.

“And then they try to politicize everything you say, and it’s just like, I don’t know, shouldn’t you pay your workers?”

“See, the first part I was being nice talking about Glengary,” Burr said at the end of the rant. “And now I’m being me.”
