      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)

    Elon won’t do it. He’s a pussy. He will back out and start calling Stewart a pedo on social media.

      He could just go and say/do something that would prevent airing

      Then if they take it out it’s been edited

        I assume they’ll have to edit for length regardless - so I imagine they’re planning to make the unedited clip available online, like they’ve done with their other extended interviews. Lot less restrictions on what can air that way, too.

    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…

      For those that don’t know … Bill Burr called out billionaires and warned them for the shit they were pulling (or to be “put down like rabid dogs”).

      Elon “Free Speech” Musk basically restricted Bill’s Twitter account which Bill found funny because he hadn’t posted in months or years or something like that.

      Bill also doesn’t hold back and will roast the shit out of anyone and is really good at it. Elon “Man of the People” Musk is a thin-skinned little bitch that is awkward as fuck but acts tough online like all his “alpha-male” friends like when he acted like a bitch when Don Lemon called him out and then Elon “I’m the smartest man alive” Musk fired Don Lemon for doing so 'cause he’s a bitch.

    Here’s how it’s going to go down:

    • Jon will ask pointed questions.
    • Elmo will respond with rhetoric, lies, half-truths, incendiary nonsense, &/or dumb jokes.
    • Jon will call him out on his bullshit.
    • Elmo will respond with more rhetoric, lies, half-truths, incendiary nonsense, &/or dumb jokes.
    • Jon will be appalled at Musk’s lack of integrity, ethics, intelligence, or humility.
    • The next day, right-wing pundits will spin it as a victory for Musk - saying he made Stewart “speechless and dumbfounded” with his amazing performance.
