Jimmy Kimmel jokes about Elon Musk's new government role and his naughty and nice lists for lawmakers

Elon Musk is reportedly co-leading a new government department with Vivek Ramaswamy, called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Jimmy Kimmel humorously referred to them as the “Lenny and Squiggy of Trumptown” during his show. Kimmel shared that Musk claimed he would create a "naughty list" and a "nice list" for lawmakers. He joked about the implications of a billionaire deciding which elected officials would have a merry Christmas. Kimmel criticized the new department, stating it lacks real power to make laws or manage budgets. He compared it to a child visiting a cockpit, suggesting it is more of a symbolic role than a functional one.
