Summary

Elon Musk has tentatively agreed to appear on “The Daily Show” for an unedited interview with Jon Stewart, who recently criticized DOGE’s federal workforce cuts so passionately he injured his hand during a segment.

Stewart condemned Musk’s approach to government efficiency, arguing against indiscriminate firing of federal employees.

The show officially accepted Musk’s condition for an unedited appearance.

Despite controversy over Musk’s recent email demanding employees justify their jobs, Trump reaffirmed support for Musk at his first Cabinet meeting.

    Make or break?

    Uh, the dude already made it… He was staple viewing for college kids of my generation and a lone voice of sanity on corporate television during the Bush years

      I grew up watching TDS at like 9 or 10. My family was pretty openly liberal, they found the jokes funny, and he integrated into my life on a daily basis for years, especially during the Bush years when I was a young teen.

      His work with veterans and 9/11 responders solidified Jon as not just a talker but a real community builder.

      Jon’s done countless hot interviews and regularly came out ahead. Jon would have no issue challenging power: he never has. That’s his charisma and charm.

      Totally agree with the poster above.
