Summary
Jon Stewart has agreed to host Elon Musk on The Daily Show after Musk demanded an unedited interview but later called Stewart a “propagandist.”
Stewart fired back, pointing out Musk’s support for Donald Trump and Germany’s far-right AfD party, arguing that Musk’s version of “bipartisanship” is just partisan extremism.
He dismissed Musk’s criticism as hypocritical and reiterated his willingness to air the interview unedited because that’s “how the in-studio interviews normally air.”
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.
