‘TREVOR’S NOT FUNNY’

ELON Musk says his fellow South African Trevor Noah has stopped being funny and has the “woke virus” in his brain. 

This comes after Noah joked about the assassination of US influencer and right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot dead at a university in Utah last month. 

Kirk would have turned 32 today. 

The hele drama started with a video clip of Noah on social media in which he said: “Meanwhile here, comedians are sh!tting themselves. 

“[They say] ‘don’t say anything about Charlie Kirk’ . 

“[I’m like] ‘I wasn’t going to say anything about Charlie Kirk'. ‘But don’t say anything about Charlie Kirk’. 

“I wasn’t going to say anything about Charlie Kirk. 

‘But don’t, there’s nothing funny about it.” 

He added: “Now you’ve tested me, I mean there’s nothing funny about it? 

“You can’t say there’s nothing funny about it. Don’t say that, as a comedian I’m like ‘I’m sure there’s something funny about it’.

“The guy was shot while defending guns, do you understand? I’m not even writing that as a joke, as a human you have to admit that is an incongruous thing that happens. 

“You’re there on stage saying ‘let me tell you why people should have guns’. Pow!”

People did not take kindly to the ‘joke’ at all, with one X user writing: “I’ve never understood why he’s called a comedian. He isn’t funny at all.”

Another wrote: “Comedians have a long history of doing just this. Lame in my opinion, yes. Completely standard for a comedian on stage. Yes.” 

There were also users who backed Noah, with one writing: “Plenty of knee jerk responses from people who have clearly not watched the whole clip. 

“Not defending his choice of material, but to be fair he is not laughing at Charlie Kirk’s assassination. He is highlighting an irony which in his perspective exists.” 

Another added: “The irony in Charlie Kirk's shooting is undeniable.” 

Musk, though, did not see the funny side in the joke and posted on X: “Trevor was lauded for being a libtard cuck for so long that he hasn’t realized that he stopped being funny.

“The guy actually has talent, but needs to get the woke virus out of his brain.”
