Place your bets on muskrat chickening out.
Stewart is going to rip him a structurely superfluous behind.
If he doesn't chicken out, he might storm out mid interview when John absolutely stomps on every misleading or false thing he says and pushes him to actually define his role in DOGE which could open him up to legal trouble (if that term meant anything anymore)
Here’s how it’s going to go down:
You forgot
I mean, Jon Stewart and maybe some of the writers are the value there. Even if you imagined that happening, he can just go do a new show.
Something like Twitter takes a lot of doing to build; network effect favors incumbents.
Yep-- apple didn't want Jon to talk about China (and maybe a couple of other things) on the show they were paying him for. He left, started a new show (slash podcast), and got back on the Daily Show.

musk fires Jon
Maybe he'll come back and lead the resistance with Bernie and AOC
We know how Jon handles this exact situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCuIxIJBfCY
Musk will be roasted and embarrassed.
Have you seen the current speaking ability of Musk? I'd be surprised if he produces a single coherent sentence.
I hope Jon Stewart really pushes him through his filler speech and reveals Musk as stupid as he actually is.
Tho I still dont think this will happen. Musk would have to be incredibly stupid to accept this, like even more stupid than he actually is.
Elon won't do it. He's a pussy. He will back out and start calling Stewart a pedo on social media.
Pigs will fly and my shit will turn to gold before he sits in front of Jon Stewart live, and or unedited
Wouldn't it be funny if they had 2 guests. Elon Musk and Bill Burr.
Elon comes out without his kid and the Mario Bros theme starts playing
He'll find a way to back out. Musk is stupid, but not that stupid.
He's also extremely overconfident and narcissistic
Well, that's true, but the fact that he said, "I'll only do it if they air it unedited!" makes me think he thought they would say, "no," and he'd be able to decline while saving face. My gut tells me he'll make up another excuse now. I'd love to be wrong, though!
They said that about Rod Blagojevich, and the desperate need for attention is what pushed the truly irrational decision to do an interview.
Still, he might get cold feet if he expects a hostile audience.
Just like the cage match he had with Zuck.
This'd be much much better. Even Joe Average can see muskrat is physically unfit, but his intellectual dishonesty is much easier to cover up.
If anyone can do this it's Jon Stewart. I know he's mentioned on several occasions that he doesn't have any political ambitions whatsoever, and he's been true to his word. But sometimes circumstances allow great men to take great leaps, and on rare occasions, do great things.
The fact that The Hill is already running a piece trying to play him off as a comedy star from an era that has all but vanished due to the corporate landscape, is all I need to know to believe what he has to say. They're already trying to downplay and dismiss the results before they've occurred.
What are the terms of the interview? Will it be in person in front of an audience, via webcast, in front of the burning reichstag, etc...
Musk will never wear a bow tie again.
The headline makes it sound like they were in talks with each other. Musk gave his "terms" to a random Twitter user. I seriously doubt this will happen. Stew beef would completely humiliate Musk and his mediocre white guy confidence wouldn't save him.
Too bad there's no SEC to force him into the interview like when he offered to buy twitter.
If this doesn’t go Musk’s way I suspect he’ll drop terms the Daily Show would censor forcing them to pull the interview.
Maybe so, but they shouldn’t. Censor it, poke the shit out of that South African fascist Nazi pig, and get him to display his true self for all the world to see. Fuck Musk, filthy Nazi.
I hope the audience boos Musk when he walks out looking like the loser he is.
From the article...
Musk appeared to accept the challenge, replying Tuesday to one user, "I will do it if the show airs unedited."
"The Daily Show" took notice, reposting the message Wednesday from its official account accepting the terms.
Unedited, streamed live.
Though this does remind me of that asshole and wife abuser Steven Crowder bailing from a debate with Sam Seder.
Seder took steps to make sure Steven was available and couldn't just say, "oh I got a thing", used Ethan from H3h3 to rope a dope him.
And then came the showdown and Steven bailed.
I hope the security is light.
cowardly mod censoring for “civility” over the call for a righteous fight against fascists.
The thing I hate though is whenever someone interviews Elon it seems like they can't help but crawl right up his ass. If you wanna see real cringe look at Bill Maher's interview with him. Now he criticizes Elon, but when he had him on I'm pretty sure he was what that AI video of Trump and Elon was trained on.
Maybe stew beef is different, but I figure if Elon detects he can't get the interview he wants he'll bail.
I am so excited to tell you this.
When Tucker Carlson (right-wing shithead) was hosting a show called 'Crossfire,' and still wearing a stupid bow tie, he made the mistake of agreeing to have Jon Stewart on his show. Here's a link to the wikipedia page. There is a whole page for this one incident.
Here is a line that might appeal: "Three months after the appearance, Crossfire was cancelled and Carlson was fired; commentators differ as to how impactful it actually was, but generally agree that Stewart was at least part of the reason."
And one thing is for sure, Tucker Carlson may have kept his incredibly stupid "man just asking questions" expression... but he stopped wearing that stupid bow tie.
Just keep his security goons away from the production facilities and equipment. In fact, they should hire three times the amount of security Musk has. Just remember, they have been deputized by the U.S. Marshall Service, so they have the power to arrest people.
"I will do it if the show airs unedited."
That's the best outcome. Therefore he will be a scaredy musk and elon his way out of the show. Hopefully it will be like his attempt to elon his way out of buying shitter and we will get a full unedited interview and at least a couple of people might realize he is so full of shit and a damned junky.
Edit: corrected autocorrect and my own spelling.
