This is a make-or-break moment for Stewart, because if he ever shows any sort of complacency with Musk when he's face-to-face with the sonofabitch, when he's so passionately against him when he's not, as talk show hosts often do with controversial guests, his audience will punish him something fierce.
I’m not hugely versed on American show hosts, but that would seem very out of character for Stewart who seems a bit more earnest than the usual from what little I know.
he will cancel cause of some nonsense excuse.
Wasn't he going to cage fight Zuck at one point?
I vote to the death.
Celebrity Death Make IRL Remake.
And then call him a pedo.
Need a Mangione in the audience.
👀
That fucking pussy will back out so fucking fast it'll make Zuck wanna fight him again.
If he can't back out, he'll bring a random offspring to the taping to use as a human shield.
You are not my Daily Show host, go away!
He'll claim it's edited and cry... If he turns up in the first place, that is.
Careful Jon, Musk and his ego are way more fragile than a coffee mug.
Jon Stewart is the kind of fucker that'd happily cut his hand to smash a mug like that... and he's handled far worse (Bill O'riely and Tucker Carlson).
Considering the agreement is to air it unedited I'd be utterly unsurprised if we get an amazing video of Elon freezing halfway through a question early into the interview and then just walking off... that alone would be worth the price of admission.
As a born and raised Bostonian, I hope this interview happens more than I have ever hoped the Red Sox would win the world series before 2004... and that's a seriously deep fucking hope.
To anyone who doesn't know, that's like a century long prayer that is a major cultural touchstone in Boston and even out to the rest of New England.
This seems like a bad idea... Anyone currently supporting Musk/Trump just believes the lies and has no issue with their behavior. It's essentially impossible for the interview to go so poorly that they'll actually see it that way. It's just giving Musk more attention and yet another platform.
I don't think he can be platformed anymore since everyone knows who he is at this point.
Y'know, due to DOGE and all that?
Oh fuck yeah I am so here for this
Hes gonna cry out that it was edited regardless
