Show ” host Jon Stewart on Monday called “bullshit” on tech billionaire Elon Musk, who proposed an interview on the show and then seemed to back away from it. Stewart last week slammed Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency government cost-cutting effort ― and opened up a bloody wound on his finger in the process ― for targeting everyday workers and relatively low-cost programs instead of taking on the big industries reaping billions in taxpayer subsidies.
Jon Stewart said he'd be game to have Elon Musk on "The Daily Show" completely unedited — and they could keep rolling for as long as the Tesla chief likes. The possibility of a Stewart-Musk showdown was first floated after Stewart's February 24 monologue on the White House DOGE office.
Jon Stewart officially invited Elon Musk on “The Daily Show” after the Tesla founder posted on X last week that he would talk to the late-night pundit on air if his interview premieres “unedited.” Stewart began his opening monologue by reminding the audience that he “made a bit of a critique” of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency during last week’s episode.
Stewart got so worked up trashing DOGE on his Monday night show that he smashed a mug on his desk and cut open his hand.
Two days after Jon Stewart injured himself while on a DOGE rant, Elon Musk says he will do a 'Daily Show' interview with one major condition.
