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.
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.
