If you've yet to listen to Elon Musk's X interview with Donald Trump, Seth Meyers wants you to know that "however crazy you think it was, it was crazier."

During his Late Night monologue Meyers played a clip of the former president describing a conversation with Vladimir Putin, where he claims he warned the Russian president not to invade Ukraine. "I told them things that what I do and he said, 'No way,' and I said 'Way'," is Trump's confusing comment.

"First of all that didn't happen, second, was Putin threatening to invade Ukraine or put an ice cube down your shirt?" says Meyers, before busting out his Trump impression. "Don't do it, Vladimir. Also what's going on with his voice? He sounds like a sugared up kid on Halloween who won't take out his plastic vampire teeth. I know you don't want to be called weird, but you gotta meet us halfway."

Unsurprisingly, it wasn't the only moment from the interview that the late night shows found to make fun of.
