Jon Stewart Officially Invites Elon Musk on ‘The Daily Show’: ‘The Interview Can Be 15 Minutes, an Hour, Two Hours, Whatever’

Jon Stewart officially invited Elon Musk on “The Daily Show” after the Tesla founder posted on X last week that he would talk to the late-night pundit on air if his interview premieres “unedited.”

Stewart began his opening monologue by reminding the audience that he “made a bit of a critique” of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency during last week’s episode. He then took a jab at Musk’s familial drama before addressing his request for an “unedited” interview.
“After a prayerful week with my family — well, a family. It is a family hall pass situation,” Stewart said. “But after thinking about his offer, I thought, ‘You know, hey, that’s actually how the in studio interviews normally air. Unedited.’ So, sure. We’d be delighted. As a matter of fact, let me sweeten or unsweeten the pot. The interview can be 15 minutes, an hour, two hours, whatever. I’ll be honest, I don’t think this network makes any other programming. So we can do whatever the fuck we want.”
Stewart then addressed Musk’s follow up tweets. In one post, he called “The Daily Show” host a “propagandist.” In another, he claimed Stewart “used to be more bipartisan.”
“You give me too little credit,” Stewart said. “Again, the guy who custom-made his own dark MAGA hat that he wears to opine in the Oval Office with the president who he spent $270 million to elect thinks I’m just too partisan. I’m really not sure what he thinks bipartisan means.”
Stewart continued, “Elon, if you want to do the show, great. I support, in general, the idea of efficiency and delivering better services to the American public in cheaper and more efficient ways, and if you want to come in and talk about it on the show, great. If you don’t want to, sure. But can we just drop the pretense that you won’t do it because I don’t measure up to the standards of neutral discourse that you demand and display at all times?”
