After #RIPJimmyFallon trends on Twitter, Elon Musk responds to the TV host with jokes about his wife
This week marked the ninth anniversary of former Fox News anchor and current MSNBC host Chris Wallace’s resignation from his position that he started in 2004.
Wallace was known for his aggressive attacks on President Trump, and had a tendency to question his integrity and integrity of his own.

Wallace’s statement comes in the wake of his recent comments about President Trump. In an interview on Friday with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Wallace said that Trump is being treated with “class” by the media, and that his remarks were “pretty outrageous
