But Elon spent $300 million of his own money to get Trump elected, irreparably damaged his personal brand and almost all of his business, and is clearly suffering some kind of issue. But don't worry. Trump made sure that Elon got something in return.

You have to make sure that everybody knows you give them to a lot of people. It's just not that special. You know, I got a bunch of these. I give them to special people. Who's the guy who brings me my Diet Cokes? I give him one for every Diet Coke. Anyway, enjoy your useless key. There was no need for Trump and Elon to commemorate this epic fail. It's an embarrassing display of theater.

Too soon, is that? Lincoln, for God's sakes. With all the shit going on in the world, I was not expecting the audience to be like, poor Lincoln. Just wanted to see you play. Of course, Lincoln wasn't the only one seemingly disassociating. in the Oval Office. Of course, there might have been an explanation for that behavior as well.

Look, whether Elon was using drugs on the job or not, I have no idea. I do know one thing about the television industry, though, especially the news industry, and that is whatever unusual images we have... of Elon's enthusiastic time in Washington, DC, those images will now be repurposed and given a slightly different meaning and context, almost comically so, inside edition, do your worst.

Come on, Inside Edition, inauguration party enthusiasm or reefer madness? And you might be saying, well, look, who amongst us has an unwound sometimes with a little mixture of ecstasy mushrooms, ketamine, and Adderall?

He told people that? This dude is a one-man anti-drug campaign. These are your pants. These are your pants on drugs. And I do love the fact, though, that the detail is he's the one who told them he had a bladder problem. That means things were so bad, he had to be like, oh, don't worry, it's nothing weird. It's just an overabundance of ketamine. Now, obviously...

We on this program would have been delighted to offer an unedited forum for Elon to discuss his journey from hardworking efficiency expert to drug-addled child star mugshot. But he chose to go in a different direction by sort of speaking to your theater-loving parents' favorite news program, CBS Sunday Morning. This is true. This was his final Trump administration exit interview.

Look what Trump has reduced this man to. He has broken this poor man. Just in an interview, can't we just talk about spaceships? I was told we'd talk about... I was told we would both be wearing helmets and talking about... Just a simple boy with a set of Star Wars sheets and pillows and... I really would just like to talk about space. I mean, you can't blame him.
