Summary
Elon Musk has tentatively agreed to appear on “The Daily Show” for an unedited interview with Jon Stewart, who recently criticized DOGE’s federal workforce cuts so passionately he injured his hand during a segment.
Stewart condemned Musk’s approach to government efficiency, arguing against indiscriminate firing of federal employees.
The show officially accepted Musk’s condition for an unedited appearance.
Despite controversy over Musk’s recent email demanding employees justify their jobs, Trump reaffirmed support for Musk at his first Cabinet meeting.
he will cancel cause of some nonsense excuse.
Wasn’t he going to cage fight Zuck at one point?
I vote to the death.
Celebrity Death Make IRL Remake.
And then call him a pedo.
That fucking pussy will back out so fucking fast it’ll make Zuck wanna fight him again.
If he can’t back out, he’ll bring a random offspring to the taping to use as a human shield.
You are not my Daily Show host, go away!

There is absolutely no way that Musk will go ahead with this. Even if it was contractually agreed that it would be aired completely unedited–which I doubt it can be, Comedy Central network censors would almost certainly have to bleep words out–Musk would come out looking so bad, esp. with a host that wouldn’t let him dodge or redirect questions, that he would skip. Muskrat might drink his own FlavorAde, but there’s not way in hell that he’s dumb enough to do this.
oh, he absolutely is dumb enough
He’ll claim it’s edited and cry… If he turns up in the first place, that is.
This is a make-or-break moment for Stewart, because if he ever shows any sort of complacency with Musk when he’s face-to-face with the sonofabitch, when he’s so passionately against him when he’s not, as talk show hosts often do with controversial guests, his audience will punish him something fierce.
Make or break?
Uh, the dude already made it… He was staple viewing for college kids of my generation and a lone voice of sanity on corporate television during the Bush years
I grew up watching TDS at like 9 or 10. My family was pretty openly liberal, they found the jokes funny, and he integrated into my life on a daily basis for years, especially during the Bush years when I was a young teen.
His work with veterans and 9/11 responders solidified Jon as not just a talker but a real community builder.
Jon’s done countless hot interviews and regularly came out ahead. Jon would have no issue challenging power: he never has. That’s his charisma and charm.
Totally agree with the poster above.
I’m not hugely versed on American show hosts, but that would seem very out of character for Stewart who seems a bit more earnest than the usual from what little I know.
Part of his brand is that he is authentic in his beliefs. He also has had numerous people on in the past that he did not like personally but was able to have a civil conversation with. I think John could run for president and win but I also think he doesn’t want the headaches or he would have done it already.
It’s very common for hosts - hell, anybody - to be vitriolic with someone who isn’t there in person, and then become all civil, polite and buddy-buddy-like with them when they’re around. For example, Bill Maher recently invited that turd Matt Gaetz on his podcast show thing and it was the most nauseating best-friends act you never saw, considering how critical Maher has been of the guy.
Oh this disgusting scene that shows in no uncertain way that all politicians are in fact in the same club of psychopaths, and their public rivalries are just theater.
John has had some pretty direct and confrontational interviews already. This wouldn’t be new for him.
You don’t really know much about Stewart do you?
I know all there is to know about Stewart, and I’m 99% certain he won’t go easy with Musk. All I’m saying is, if it ever dares do that, I and all the folks who know him will hate his guts.
You just created an extremely unlikely hypothetical to get upset at … why?
He will go easy, he won’t go at him like people want him to. He’s interviewing Musk and there will be a level of decorum and respect because that’s what adults do. But the left are such rabid idealists that they won’t accept that. But most importantly the right leaning groups will help nudge it along as they always do with fake accounts and memes pretending to be left leaning.
Stewart will relish the chance to embarrass Musk
No, he won’t. He’ll have a conversation, keep it entertaining, but there’s no chance he makes him look like an ass. Then, the next day, you and others will be here tearing Stewart apart for the rest of the year. Eventually, he’ll say, “Fuck this,” and shift his political views after realizing just how toxic and ineffective the left is, how quick they are to turn on their own, just like so many before him have.
The left has the energy of a narcissistic ex-girlfriend, full of hopes and dreams, but the moment you show even the slightest rejection of their principles, they unleash the most savage, vicious abuse.
How can you claim to know the future with such certainty? It comes across silly.
“Make or break?” Jon Stewart is on what is essentially the victory tour of his career. He was so popular in his first stint at the daily show that some openly wondered whether the show could continue without him. He retired from that to work advocacy for first responders, for which he was lauded. He’s back now because even a solid decade away couldn’t make the audience forget his heyday. I’ve criticized Stewart in the past, but even I can see that if he were to flub this interview most would shrug “huh, sad how the greats start to slip as they age,” and tune back in next week.
I just came to say this. There is no tolerance. Jon Stewart is going to get crucified and pushed to either quit or he will have such a disgust from the reaction that he’ll end up hating the left. He’s too good at what he does. Any effective communicator must be purged no exceptions
Oh fuck yeah I am so here for this
Hes gonna cry out that it was edited regardless
This seems like a bad idea… Anyone currently supporting Musk/Trump just believes the lies and has no issue with their behavior. It’s essentially impossible for the interview to go so poorly that they’ll actually see it that way. It’s just giving Musk more attention and yet another platform.
I don’t think he can be platformed anymore since everyone knows who he is at this point.
Y’know, due to DOGE and all that?
The existence of communities such as “leopards eating faces” disproves that. Yes, it might be really late, but people are realizing that they thought they were voting for something else.
Yes, put them on television more.
I’m really surprised the left hasn’t started to attack Jon Stewart for something yet. It’s coming. I guarantee it.
