Comedian Bill Burr went after Elon Musk and “the nerds that own the politicians” again during an appearance on The View on Thursday. That’s right. The View.

If Bill Burr appearing on The View seems like a strange bit of booking to you, you’re not alone. Bill Burr’s own wife didn’t understand it.

“My wife was freaking out that I was coming on the show,” Burr told the show’s co-hosts. “Yeah, she was like ‘Who the hell booked you on that show? You say all this dumb stuff about women, don’t go on that show.’”

“Well, we’re not snowflakes around here and some of us are comedians, so we get it because that’s your thing,” Joy Behar reassured him. She then asked him if he was funny as a kid.

“I had my moments,” Bill Burr replied. “I understood the pecking order of high school. I wasn’t a nerd but I wasn’t cool. If there were too many football players and good-looking chicks in the room, I wouldn’t make my jokes. But if it was more of the regular people then I was the class clown.”

Also during his appearance, Burr would go after one of his favorite targets of late: politicians.

“I’m not into politicians at all,” he said. “They don’t make any money, they’re set up to be bribed, and in the end they’re all worth like $50 to $100 million. And everybody thinks one side is better than the other. I don’t know. It’s a weird time. I just feel like someone needs to bring the boiling water down to a simmer and everybody on both sides. Like you watch CNN, Fox, you go online, or you listen to politicians, it’s all, ‘ahhh!’ and then you walk out on the street and somebody’s like, ‘hey, how you doing?’ And you’re like, ‘good.’ So I don’t think they’re living in a reality.”

Behar then asked Burr if “there anybody getting your ire up more these days than usual?” Which, as he has made abundantly clear in recent days, means Elon Musk.

“Nerds. The nerds that own the politicians,” Bill Burr replied. “All these tech nerds that want to build robots because they don’t know how to talk to hot women. They’re gonna take over the world. They are literally going to replace us. We’re like Beta right now and they’re coming out with the VCR.

“And I think Elon has got the rockets going because they realize there’s other Earths out there and they’re gonna trash this one. They don’t have any concern for it. And then they’re gonna move onto the next Earth and, you know, everybody’s gonna be standing down here in their blue and red ties going, wait a minute, I was on your side. And they’re just gonna leave.”
