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 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.
Do you just not remember him tearing into Bill O’Reilly? He’s destroyed people before, why do you think he wouldn’t try to destroy Musk too?

Is this from you several years ago just being angry that he gave Bill a platform? Nothing in there says he went easy on him, and in fact there’s plenty of commenters repeating my point that he kicked Bill’s ass and it was great television.
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.
Stewart is the master of faux, formal politeness. Yes it’s sometimes annoying. He would be way too nice to some Republicans but I think he respecter them actually sitting down on his show. Stewart isn’t as far left as I am, but he is capable of asking tough questions. His Jim Cramer sit-down is masterful preparation and execution by a team of researchers who brought receipts. He would not have been polite to Dick Cheney or Bush either
I think now as he’s gotten older, he’s even less likely to let guys like Musk slide on their bullshit. I have faith in his personal integrity. He’s got a good body of work.
Him getting older will be the opposite. He’ll have a more respectful approach. Smart intelligent people don’t hold onto hate the way a lot of people do. He’ll have a conversation. People will hate him
How can you claim to know the future with such certainty? It comes across silly.
Because of all the other times I’ve done it. Can you not predict the way trump supporters will act. You can’t see the forest when you’re standing in the middle of it but everyone else can see it that are standing outside of it
