Elon Musk May Be Headed To ‘The Daily Show’ After Jon Stewart’s DOGE Takedown As Program Responds To His Conditions

deadline.com:

Jon Stewart spent the opening of his this week blasting Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, which the Tesla CEO and X (fka Twitter) chairman is leading, over its headline-making drastic budget cuts to various government programs.

Stewart got so passionate on the subject that he inadvertently cut his hand on a mug he smashed and finished his monologue with his hand under his desk as blood was gushing from it.

The comedian may be up for Round 2, sparing with the subject of his wrath, Musk. Responding to a tweet by a little known account @FarzadMedia with few followers, titled “Elon Musk Should Go On Jon Stewart’s Daily Show,” Musk wrote yesterday, “I will do it if the show airs unedited.” In the video accompanying the @FarzadMedia tweet, the account’s owner addressed Stewart’s DOGE takedown, adding, “If Elon Mask actually went on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show and talked about DOGE for an hour, Jon Stewart and Elon Musk, the amount of headway and the amount of progress we would get as a country to actually get a lot of those things codified and actually propagate through the entirety of the United States, not just at a federal level, not just at the executive branch but through Congress, through all the local governments, I think it would go a really really long way.” The Daily Show took notice of Musk’s offer, responding today to his comment by writing, “@elonmusk we’d be delighted!” With that, the Comedy Central program, seemingly accepted Musk’s terms.

Still, a rep for the network noted that they don’t know yet if or when a Musk visit to The Daily Show would happen..@elonmusk we’d be delighted!
