"Elon was able to buy his way into the government and now he’s blowing it up like a Tesla in Self Driving Mode," said Stephen Colbert on The Late Show on Tuesday, taking time in his monologue to call out the Trump-supporting tech billionaire's aggressive White House takeover.

Colbert got to that first by describing Musk, who holds no government position but has been illegally given access to dozens of critical government databases and services, which he has then illegally handed over to underlings, as “a very sad, very lonely little boy who had all the money in the world yet could not buy a single droplet of cool.”
