Elon Musk has been sending some mixed messages about appearing on The Daily Show for an interview. First the tech billionaire and “special government employee” said he’ll do it if the show airs unedited, but then later posted that “Jon Stewart is much more propagandist than it would seem.”
On Monday, Stewart responded directly to Musk — and he made his feelings as clear as ever.
“The guy who custom made his own dark MAGA hat, that he wears to opine in the Oval Office with the president that he spent $270 million to elect, thinks I’m just too partisan,” says Stewart in the clip above. “Look, Elon, I do have some criticisms about DOGE, I support in general the idea of efficiency and delivering better services to the American public in cheaper and more efficient ways. And if you want to come on and talk about it on the show, great. If you don’t want to, sure. But can we just drop the pretence that you won’t do it because I don’t measure up to the standards of neutral discord that you demand and display at all times? Because quite frankly, that’s bullshit.”
