“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert mocked “very sad, very lonely little boy” Elon Musk, who “had all the money in the world, yet could not buy a single droplet of cool.”

Musk, who contributed an estimated $290 million to President Donald Trump’s campaign, is now a “special government employee” tasked with cutting costs.

“Elon was able to buy his way into our government,” Colbert said. “And now he’s blowing it up, like a Tesla in self-driving mode.”

Colbert noted that Musk has, among other things “commandeered” the agency that is essentially the government’s human resources department.

“You’re the richest man on Earth,” Colbert pointed out. “You wanna take over HR?”

Colbert lamented that Musk hasn’t become a “fun” billionaire, like Virgin co-founder Richard Branson or vacuum pioneer Sir James Dyson.

“Elon, you could be the next Dyson,” Colbert offered. “You never stop sucking!”
