Colbert Mocks Musk’s U-Turn on Trump: ‘The Ketamine Has Worn Off’
The Daily Beast ^ | Jun. 5 2025 | Leigh Kimmins

Stephen Colbert mercilessly mocked the breakdown in relations between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, even poking fun at the billionaire’s alleged drug habit.

On Wednesday night’s Late Show, the host gleefully skewered the once-close bond between the president and the Tesla CEO, which appears to have collapsed in a cloud of disdain towards Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”

“There is now trouble brewing between the president and former first buddy Elon Musk,” Colbert announced. “No, no, 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 was reacting to Musk’s latest tirade on X, where the tech billionaire blasted Trump’s so-called spending bill as “a disgusting abomination.”

The audience roared as Colbert quipped: “Apparently, the ketamine has worn off.”

Firefighters were called to the scene after several eyewitnesses claimed to have seen President Trump setting fire to a local Tesla dealership this morning.

The event seems to coincide with a bitter public falling out between Trump and Musk over a spending bill currently moving through Congress.

“I thought we were friends, Elon! What happened to us?”
President Trump reportedly cried as he lobbed a Molotov cocktail into the windshield of a 2025 Tesla Model 3. “I never liked Teslas. I always thought they were 3rd-rate cars anyway. And everything in them is computer, and I hate computers. Many people don’t know that, but I actually hate them. They’re terrible, frankly.”

By the time authorities arrived on the scene, the entire facility had been consumed by the flames. Security cameras caught glimpses of an orange-haired suspect fleeing the scene.

“No, no, 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.” I could call you and label you as a lot of things Stephen, but I won’t this is a public forum.

Something happened and maybe he stopped talking his drugs. Why are you discounting a very possible reason. Many have suffered from trying to get off drugs especially without a doctor or program.

Gee, I forgot Colbert is allegedly a comedian and I forgot to laugh at the alleged humor.

Trump can always do a White House visit with Ashley St Clair if Elon wants to bring up Jeffrey Epstein

Perhaps it’s all an act. Since yesterday all the dems have flocked back to Elon which means they’ll be buying more Tesla’s which will help raise Elon’s profits again. Perhaps him and Trump are laughing at dems behind the scenes because their little drama show is working.
