Place your bets on muskrat chickening out.
Stewart is going to rip him a structurely superfluous behind.
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)
I’d be so happy if he throws a hissy fit and storms off.
Right? I’d love this. I have $20 that says it doesn’t happen
That term doesn’t mean anything anymore.
Jon would “win” if it happened, but it won’t matter.
After seeing Trump utterly dog walked across the stage in his debate performance and still win the election, I have lost any remaining faith that some great Aaron Soorkin-esque moment will change a fucking thing in this country.
It would be entertaining though; so that’ll be fun.
I agree, I think we are fucked. Democracy dies not with a cry, but a cheer.
Yeah it’s not happening Musk will have some government looting emergecy that needs attending to. Some widow in Wisconsin might be getting her Medicaid back.
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.
Have you seen the current speaking ability of Musk? I’d be surprised if he produces a single coherent sentence.
I hope Jon Stewart really pushes him through his filler speech and reveals Musk as stupid as he actually is.
Tho I still dont think this will happen. Musk would have to be incredibly stupid to accept this, like even more stupid than he actually is.
Replace Elon’s rhetoric/lies/dumb joke non-responses with incoherent babbling and the right-wing will still say he “owned that lib”.
Pigs will fly and my shit will turn to gold before he sits in front of Jon Stewart live, and or unedited
Hopefully it’s on the podcast where he can go into detail.
Wouldn’t it be funny if they had 2 guests. Elon Musk and Bill Burr.
I’d prefer Luigi.
The closest we ever came…
Elon comes out without his kid and the Mario Bros theme starts playing
Lol
Fucking pay per view that shit. I’d pay $49.99 to watch that.
That one should be a public service. Why limit it’s viewing rate when a lot of the country needs to view his idiocy fumbling for answers he obviously never thought of.
He’ll find a way to back out. Musk is stupid, but not that stupid.
He’s also extremely overconfident and narcissistic
Well, that’s true, but the fact that he said, “I’ll only do it if they air it unedited!” makes me think he thought they would say, “no,” and he’d be able to decline while saving face. My gut tells me he’ll make up another excuse now. I’d love to be wrong, though!
I’d expect either escalating levels of demanding ways to absolutely guarantee it couldn’t be edited in hopes of unreasonable.
Ultimately it could be like the Zuckerberg fight, where Musk just ghosted the conversation when he couldn’t figure a way to nope out of it gracefully.
Remember when he challenged Zuckerberg to a fight? There are limits.
I would have loved to see that fight happen. Both are human garbage, but Zuckerberg is apparently a high level BJJ competitor. I think it would have been pretty one-sided.
They said that about Rod Blagojevich, and the desperate need for attention is what pushed the truly irrational decision to do an interview.
Still, he might get cold feet if he expects a hostile audience.
Holy shit, I just realized that Trump commuted his sentence
Well yeah, he was a contestant on the president’s reality game show.
Rod Blagojevich
Why I’m not surprised that the current president pardoned someone that tried to sell a seat to the us senate
Musk will never wear a bow tie again.
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…
Zelenskyy was also a comedian first.
People forget that popular comedians are usually incredibly intelligent. Conan graduated MCL from Harvard.
Maybe Jon can tucker carlson elon.
I rewatch that crossfire clip regularly. It’s my happy place.
Removed by mod
That would be the single greatest moment of televisual history
Seriously. I honestly hope that this is the outcome.
Trump too. Hell let’s not stop there. All 1% needs to gtfo
I hope the audience boos Musk when he walks out looking like the loser he is.
The chances of him being sober for this are next to 0
Chances of him not attending are also close to 0.
Think you mean 100, as a chance of not attending being 0 would mean he would be attending.
🤓👆
And you mean 1 not 100
I think in the statement I was responding to, you could infer the chance being a percentage change, in which case my suggestion/correction would be valid. 1 could be valid if you covert percentage to decimal notation, but that just seems weird and unnatural.
cowardly mod censoring for “civility” over the call for a righteous fight against fascists.
Just keep his security goons away from the production facilities and equipment. In fact, they should hire three times the amount of security Musk has. Just remember, they have been deputized by the U.S. Marshall Service, so they have the power to arrest people.
The thing I hate though is whenever someone interviews Elon it seems like they can’t help but crawl right up his ass. If you wanna see real cringe look at Bill Maher’s interview with him. Now he criticizes Elon, but when he had him on I’m pretty sure he was what that AI video of Trump and Elon was trained on.
Maybe stew beef is different, but I figure if Elon detects he can’t get the interview he wants he’ll bail.
“I will do it if the show airs unedited.”
That’s the best outcome. Therefore he will be a scaredy musk and elon his way out of the show. Hopefully it will be like his attempt to elon his way out of buying shitter and we will get a full unedited interview and at least a couple of people might realize he is so full of shit and a damned junky.
Edit: corrected autocorrect and my own spelling.
Make it live to make sure everyone sees it
From the article…
Musk appeared to accept the challenge, replying Tuesday to one user, “I will do it if the show airs unedited.”
“The Daily Show” took notice, reposting the message Wednesday from its official account accepting the terms.
