Stephen Colbert Makes ‘Sense’ Of Elon Musk’s Gov’t Influence In 1 ‘Expert’ Dig

Stephen Colbert on Thursday explained why it makes sense that Elon Musk would “kill” a bipartisan budget proposal “at the last minute.”

The billionaire Donald Trump ally slammed a government funding bill negotiated by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Ky.) on Wednesday before the president-elect weighed in and effectively killed the spending deal.

Colbert joked that he’s sure the Founding Fathers were “spinning in their graves with joy” over the spending bill chaos.

“After all, the Constitution does start with, ‘We the people do whatever rich boy tells us. Rich boy makes the big square truck car! LOL,’” he quipped.

“Well, if he’s going to be the guy running everything, I’m going to have to work on my Elon Musk impression. Here it goes,” said Colbert as he coughed in his hand and jumped in the air in a move out of the billionaire’s playbook.
