Summary
Jon Stewart has agreed to host Elon Musk on The Daily Show after Musk demanded an unedited interview but later called Stewart a “propagandist.”
Stewart fired back, pointing out Musk’s support for Donald Trump and Germany’s far-right AfD party, arguing that Musk’s version of “bipartisanship” is just partisan extremism.
He dismissed Musk’s criticism as hypocritical and reiterated his willingness to air the interview unedited because that’s “how the in-studio interviews normally air.”
This will never happen because musk is a coward. Zuckerberg was gonna kick his ass and he shriveled away from that. He is pathetic and deep down even he knows it
Okay, wow. His mom asked him not to because she was worried about him, he obviously had to back out.
/uj I actually think the world would be better if more people listened to their moms before fighting people (and I agree that the fight would not have gone well for musk), but I don’t think that fits his worldview very well, and I do think he was using it as an excuse
His mom is a racist piece of shit.
You called it
Something else to note is that Jon Stewart pointed out that all of their interviews are aired unedited. So it really wouldn’t be any different than how it would have been anyway.
That’s kind of half true. Sometimes interviews go really long, so they end up putting the full interview on YouTube / Paramount.
But I bet if they got Musk, Comedy Central would make it work and would air the full thing or would at least plug the YouTube channel.
Jon might also bump the field piece segment if they need another 8 minutes. Sometimes they do that.
He said on last night show that he would make sure musk’s interview took as long as it needed.
Yeah, he’s the biggest thing on the network. They’ll figure it out for him.
It’s been years since I watched the Daily Show, but I do remember seeing edits in the interviews if they went long, but they would show a link to their website where you could catch the whole unedited interview.
Yeah, I’m sure this is going to go well…
It’ll never happen. The most that’ll happen is Stewart getting banned from social media for hurting billionaires’ feelings.
Elon will back out like he did for the fight.
I don’t think they’ll want to edit out any of the absolute aas beating Stewart will dole out anyway… Which is why this will never happen
Elon’s an insecure bitch
Musk knows he’d leave that interview with his ass in a sling.
If this happens I’ll eat my hat.
If it happens, does it happen with a complete blow-up/violence? Hope they have extra security in the room
I’ll believe it when I see it. I have about as much faith in this happening as I did the Musk v Zuck fight.
All bark no bite.
They should make him wear a big ass wall clock around his neck and claim it’s there to prove that the release is unedited.

But we can start a twitter campaign to convince him that he is all those things, shouldn’t be hard
Did musk buy the network yet?
