John Oliver reacts gleefully to the midterms, roasts Elon Musk
John Oliver responded to the midterm election results during "Last Week Tonight" on Sunday, roasting Elon Musk for wasting $500 million.
John Oliver recapped the midterms at the start of Sunday's episode of Last Week Tonight, and his sprits were high.
"It has been a busy week, and given the results a pretty good week too," Oliver said at the start of the episode. "Democrats won so big on Tuesday it was sometimes genuinely hard to take all the positive results in."

"Elon Musk wasted so much money!" Oliver said "The half a billion dollars he spent to try and buy the election just went up in flames faster than a parked Cybertruck."
"Speaking of which, we also learned this week he's ending production of Cybertrucks, which isn't technically an election result but kind of feels like one."
