EXT. CENTRAL PARK OUTSKIRTS — NIGHT

New York One anchor CHARLOTTE DENNON reports on a SANTA sighting in Central Park, allowing MICHAEL HOBBS to read aloud from SANTA’S list. JOVIE starts to sing “SANTA CLAUS Is Coming to Town” to raise Christmas spirit as EXTRAS slowly join in. ON-SITE NYPD OFFICERS nervously reach for tear gas cannisters as they prepare to declare an UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY.

In response, the billionaire blasted the British comic in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Replying to an article about Oliver’s takedown, Musk said: “Oliver was great several years ago, but stopped being funny when he sold his soul to wokeness where humor is basically illegal.”

vacation, day one! i’m off for two weeks, so i want to do much more cooking than i’ve been doing lately. i thought i’d get some breakfast sausage for egg sandos but then i saw these preformed banh mi meatballs at New Seasons, so… that, a runny egg, american cheese, grunions, and spicy mayo. so good
