Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back on Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! as he took aim at Elon Musk and Time magazine for naming Musk and others as part of their 2025 “Architects of AI” and “Person of the Year.” The cover, which features Musk alongside Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, and five other tech figures, prompted Kimmel to mock the decision in his usual comedic style.
Unveiling the cover to his audience, Kimmel quipped, “The eight dorks of the apocalypse,” as the crowd booed in response. His joke was aimed at the tech moguls featured, all of whom are heavily involved in artificial intelligence. Kimmel questioned the logic behind celebrating these figures, who admit to not fully understanding the implications of their creations, as per the Daily Mail.
