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.”
And so now we just wait and see what excuse Musk will trot out next.
Stewart is a smart, insightful, quick-witted and tenacious debater and Musk is a cowardly, thin-skinned blowhard who’s never had an original thought in his life.
So it’s not a matter of if Musk will weasel out of it, but just of when and how.
Also Stewart is something Elon is not: educated.
Jon Stewart knows his shit; Elon Musk knows he’s shit.
No he doesn’t. Musk truly thinks deep down in his heart that he’s a good guy and brilliant. That he’s actually a fucking idiot, just means it’s nigh impossible to convince him of anything he didn’t think up himself.
He may not be consciously aware of it but he does know it. That insecurity is what drives narcissistic sociopaths like himself and Trump.
I’m so stealing this line…😂
Yes, well, but did you consider that Musk (probably) threw some money at Dave Chappelle in order to join him on stage during one of his Netflix specials? So he’s basically a professional comedian too.
