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.

    Republican fake accounts start spreading clips of Stewart being friendly to Musk and then a bunch of others write comments like “I never liked him” and “traitors gonna traitor” and eventually the rest just pick it up for content. There’s lots of ways this goes down. It’s gone often. The fact you can’t see it coming is why it keeps happening

      I mean, clips being taken out of context would not be a new thing, and some people may react like that because they never knew John Stewart. But to conflate that to the whole of “the left” seems to be overblowing it to the point of absurdity. And John isn’t going to just spend his interview pointing at musk going ‘NAZI’ for an hour. They are going to talk, and he’s going to ask hard questions in a comedic way and give musk all the rope to hand himself. You can see his past interviews as a primer to see how this goes.

      I was asking on what grounds as in what makes you think John Stewart will suddenly change from how he acted his whole life. Not how people could try to defame him out of context.

        Because the same way a lot of people have. People are getting tired of the left and their approach to every issue. They are disorganized, unintelligent mass that hasn’t accomplished anything in the past 20 years worth discussing.
