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.
There is absolutely no way that Musk will go ahead with this. Even if it was contractually agreed that it would be aired completely unedited–which I doubt it can be, Comedy Central network censors would almost certainly have to bleep words out–Musk would come out looking so bad, esp. with a host that wouldn’t let him dodge or redirect questions, that he would skip. Muskrat might drink his own FlavorAde, but there’s not way in hell that he’s dumb enough to do this.
oh, he absolutely is dumb enough
He didn’t follow through on his fight with Zuck, even though he swore online that he would destroy him. So no, I think that he is neither dumb enough, nor so completely unencumbered by a connection to reality, that he would actually follow through on being on the Daily Show.
