Stephen Colbert Exposes Elon Musk’s Most Glaring Trump Hypocrisy

Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said it seems “the ketamine has worn off” as Elon Musk turns on his one-time pal, President Donald Trump.

“I’m starting to worry that two narcissistic megalomaniacs with a total inability to see value in other humans might have a hard time making friends,” Colbert said.

Musk has been speaking out against Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” and is urging lawmakers to vote against it.

Colbert noted that Musk has also been trying to distance himself from the president, and rolled a clip of the billionaire saying during an interview that he doesn’t agree with everything the Trump administration does.

“Yeah!” Colbert agreed. “Musk doesn’t think Trump was right about everything. His hat does.”
