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.”

    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.
