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.
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
