Talk show host Stephen Colbert poked fun at Elon Musk’s first day as CEO of Twitter during his show on Friday.
Musk appeared at the company’s headquarters Wednesday, sink in hand. He posted a video of himself walking through the doors with his hands full to Twitter with the caption: “Entering Twitter HQ — let that sink in!”
“Get it? He wanted to visualize a pun. Let me try!” Colbert said. “Elon, you’re clearly unhinged.” Colbert held up a hinge. He then held up a large screw to say, “You have a screw loose. You have a screw loose.”
“You’re nuts! You’re nuts!” Colbert said while toting a bag of nuts. “And, frankly, hard to watch,” he continued while holding a watch, “since you’re a tool of Russian prop — prop — prop — prop-a-gander,” the host said while showing off a hammer, a bottle of Russian dressing, and a picture of a goose.

Colbert sarcastically went on to express his excitement at Musk’s “first bad day as CEO.” Twitter had frozen its equity as of Monday in light of the impending deal with Musk, with its stocks up roughly 2% before the freeze.
When Musk was teasing the idea of acquiring Twitter and joining the board, Colbert expressed his opposition to the Tesla CEO joining the platform in April.
“Relieved Elon Musk isn’t joining the board of Twitter and that its rational, even-keeled reputation will be preserved,” the tweet read.
