Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver have all weighed in on the Trump-Musk feud at this point, but Jon Stewart wasn't about to let his weekly Daily Show hosting gig go by without saying his piece too.

In the clip above, the host recaps the feud — which started with Musk attacking Trump's "big beautiful bill" and ended with the two trading escalating blows on social media — before addressing Republicans directly.

"It must be hard for the right to see how petty and petulant these two man-babies are, and how they wield their power in vindictive and capricious manners when they don't get exactly their way, and the damage that that behaviour causes. And I guess what I would say to the right is: Welcome to our f***ing world. Every day. Now you know," says Stewart.

"You on the right didn't give a shit when Godzilla and Mothra teamed up to destroy the city. You're only mad now they're fighting each other. Because you just got a taste of their paper-thin, oversensitive, fragile, ego-driven, nihilism."
