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.
You forgot
- musk buys wherever the Daily Show is produced
- musk fires Jon
- “The Daily Show, with Sean Hannity”
I mean, Jon Stewart and maybe some of the writers are the value there. Even if you imagined that happening, he can just go do a new show.
Something like Twitter takes a lot of doing to build; network effect favors incumbents.
Yep-- apple didn’t want Jon to talk about China (and maybe a couple of other things) on the show they were paying him for. He left, started a new show (slash podcast), and got back on the Daily Show.

AI. He wasn’t supposed to say anything bad about AI.
