    The thing I hate though is whenever someone interviews Elon it seems like they can’t help but crawl right up his ass. If you wanna see real cringe look at Bill Maher’s interview with him. Now he criticizes Elon, but when he had him on I’m pretty sure he was what that AI video of Trump and Elon was trained on.

    Maybe stew beef is different, but I figure if Elon detects he can’t get the interview he wants he’ll bail.

      I am so excited to tell you this.

      When Tucker Carlson (right-wing shithead) was hosting a show called ‘Crossfire,’ and still wearing a stupid bow tie, he made the mistake of agreeing to have Jon Stewart on his show. Here’s a link to the wikipedia page. There is a whole page for this one incident.

      Here is a line that might appeal: “Three months after the appearance, Crossfire was cancelled and Carlson was fired; commentators differ as to how impactful it actually was, but generally agree that Stewart was at least part of the reason.”

      And one thing is for sure, Tucker Carlson may have kept his incredibly stupid “man just asking questions” expression… but he stopped wearing that stupid bow tie.

          Agreed. I used to agree with a fair amount he had to say, but now I think he was being disagreeable so that he could appear edgy and smart, and it allowed him to talk down to people. I got tired of him a decade ago or more.
