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.

    This seems like a bad idea… Anyone currently supporting Musk/Trump just believes the lies and has no issue with their behavior. It’s essentially impossible for the interview to go so poorly that they’ll actually see it that way. It’s just giving Musk more attention and yet another platform.

      The existence of communities such as “leopards eating faces” disproves that. Yes, it might be really late, but people are realizing that they thought they were voting for something else.

      I don’t think he can be platformed anymore since everyone knows who he is at this point.

      Y’know, due to DOGE and all that?
