I do have a few pickups.
Yeah, I bet you do.
How would you be so kind as to lend them under your script?
Goodbye.
We've got a show for you tonight. Carol Cadwallader is going to be joining us. She's a journalist. She's going to discuss with us the tech brologarchy and how the entirety of mankind, entirety, will be enslaved by a handful of misanthropic data hoarders. Spoiler alert, we don't make it. Speaking of misanthropic data hoarders, Doge,
has finally rooted out one of America's least efficient government workers.
He's leaving... He's leaving his job to make more family with his time. He, uh, he a lot, I think. Or just has a mail order sperm farm going. I don't know what he's up to. I'm actually, I'm starting to feel bad for this guy. He's been, look at him, he's been there four months. Look at, look at poor Bash. It only took four months to go from this to this.
He went from tech titan, given a mandate to move fast and crush the deep state to guy who had a bad night in Nashville bar he can't remember. He's got that look like, has anyone seen my shoes? He's a little beaten down. He's got that look on his face that I imagine his employees normally have. Black eye, thousand yard stare. This dude has seen some shit.
I'd like to know at least how that happened.
So you're not going to tell us what happened? Do you need a safe place to stay? Look, I believe sometimes do happen when you're roughhousing with your kids, but I'm also sure the one sentence no parent has ever uttered to their child is, go ahead, punch me in the face.
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.
Look at these guys. Pretending like this is some kind of celebratory, victorious send-off for a job well done. Jesus, look, even Lincoln is looking down. You see him? Look at Lincoln. Look at Lincoln. Even Lincoln is looking down going...
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.
How revealing. Any follow-up?
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.
