What happened to Elon Musk's role in the government?

Carole Cadwalladr 2:59
I'd like to know at least how that happened.
Caroline Leavitt 3:02
Is your eye okay? What happened to your eye? I know this was a bruise there.
Unknown Speaker 3:05
No, I just wasn't around with Lil X and I said, go ahead, punch me in the face and he did.

How did Jon Stewart react to Musk's departure?

Carole Cadwalladr 3:20
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.
Carole Cadwalladr 3:42
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.
Donald Trump 3:57
president trump heaping praise on the tech titan presenting him with a golden key and i gave a little special something we have here thank you a very special that i give to very special people i have given it to some but it goes to very special people and i thought i'd i'd give it to elon as a presentation from our country thank you thank you you couldn't just give him the king
Carole Cadwalladr 4:24
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...
This is the most tedious performance I've ever had to sit through. This is... Even Lincoln can't take it. Somebody booth me, I don't like this.
Carole Cadwalladr 5:38
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.
Unknown Speaker 6:14
The New York Times reports that Musk allegedly used drugs far more than previously known.
Carole Cadwalladr 6:22
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.
