This will never happen because musk is a coward. Zuckerberg was gonna kick his ass and he shriveled away from that. He is pathetic and deep down even he knows it

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Okay, wow. His mom asked him not to because she was worried about him, he obviously had to back out.
/uj I actually think the world would be better if more people listened to their moms before fighting people (and I agree that the fight would not have gone well for musk), but I don’t think that fits his worldview very well, and I do think he was using it as an excuse
His mom is a racist piece of shit.
Something else to note is that Jon Stewart pointed out that all of their interviews are aired unedited. So it really wouldn’t be any different than how it would have been anyway.
That’s kind of half true. Sometimes interviews go really long, so they end up putting the full interview on YouTube / Paramount.
But I bet if they got Musk, Comedy Central would make it work and would air the full thing or would at least plug the YouTube channel.
Jon might also bump the field piece segment if they need another 8 minutes. Sometimes they do that.
He said on last night show that he would make sure musk’s interview took as long as it needed.
Yeah, he’s the biggest thing on the network. They’ll figure it out for him.
It's been years since I watched the Daily Show, but I do remember seeing edits in the interviews if they went long, but they would show a link to their website where you could catch the whole unedited interview.
And so now we just wait and see what excuse Musk will trot out next.
Stewart is a smart, insightful, quick-witted and tenacious debater and Musk is a cowardly, thin-skinned blowhard who's never had an original thought in his life.
So it's not a matter of if Musk will weasel out of it, but just of when and how.
Also Stewart is something Elon is not: educated.
Jon Stewart knows his shit; Elon Musk knows he's shit.
Musk knows he's shit.
No he doesn't. Musk truly thinks deep down in his heart that he's a good guy and brilliant. That he's actually a fucking idiot, just means it's nigh impossible to convince him of anything he didn't think up himself.
He may not be consciously aware of it but he does know it. That insecurity is what drives narcissistic sociopaths like himself and Trump.
I’m so stealing this line…😂
Stewart is a smart, insightful, quick-witted and tenacious debater
Yes, well, but did you consider that Musk (probably) threw some money at Dave Chappelle in order to join him on stage during one of his Netflix specials? So he's basically a professional comedian too.
Musk won’t do it because Jon Stewart is funny and likable, two things Elon is not and will never be.
Don't forget smart
I don't think they'll want to edit out any of the absolute aas beating Stewart will dole out anyway... Which is why this will never happen
Yeah, I'm sure this is going to go well...
It'll never happen. The most that'll happen is Stewart getting banned from social media for hurting billionaires' feelings.
Elon will back out like he did for the fight.
Musk knows he'd leave that interview with his ass in a sling.
Elon’s an insecure bitch
If this happens I'll eat my hat.
If it happens, does it happen with a complete blow-up/violence? Hope they have extra security in the room
If it somehow did happen, it would be so epic
Eh, I have no doubt that Jon will pull no punches, ask the real questions and come with the receipts for fact checking... but I have every doubt that Elon will provide anything worth our time. It will likely be little more than Jon editorializing. Elon is a coward and will try to dodge every question, accusation and critique and will, at best, talk nonsense rather than face the truth. Exposing his cowardice has some value, and it's better than just giving him a platform to spew bullshit unchallenged but you can only get so much out of someone unwilling to be challenged and criticized.
I... Honestly don't think Musk is smart/aware enough to actually do that. I think he'll try to be a weasel, but I have confidence that Stewart could get something juicy out of him.
I hope so. But I'm not feeling lucky lately.
But we can start a twitter campaign to convince him that he is all those things, shouldn't be hard
Elon wants 'unbiased' but backs extremists—Stewart’s mirror must’ve hit him too hard.

I'll believe it when I see it. I have about as much faith in this happening as I did the Musk v Zuck fight.
All bark no bite.
They should make him wear a big ass wall clock around his neck and claim it's there to prove that the release is unedited.
Did musk buy the network yet?
