Elon Musk Agrees to Unedited Appearance on 'The Daily Show' After Jon Stewart Criticism

The billionaire responded to Stewart’s fiery critique of his Department of Government Efficiency, setting the stage for a potential televised exchange.

Jon Stewart criticized Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for widespread federal worker layoffs and questioned government spending priorities during a recent segment of 'The Daily Show.'
During the segment, Stewart humorously proposed alternative cost-saving measures, such as cutting subsidies for oil companies and closing tax loopholes for hedge funds.
Stewart injured his hand while smashing a mug during the rant, later joking about needing to go to the hospital for stitches.
Musk responded to a social media post suggesting he appear on 'The Daily Show,' stating he would do so only if the episode aired unedited; the show's official account welcomed the idea.
While Musk's appearance has not been officially confirmed, the potential interview has garnered significant public interest given Stewart's critiques and Musk’s role in the Trump administration.
