Elon won’t do it. He’s a pussy. He will back out and start calling Stewart a pedo on social media.
No he won’t! He’s not a huge pussy! What about that time he fought mark zuckerberg?
He might convince Trump to add tariffs on the Daily Show.
He could just go and say/do something that would prevent airing
Then if they take it out it’s been edited
Just like when he backed out of that fight with zuck
It should’ve been some kind of extreme badass death match deluxe: nobody gets out of the cage while any one of them is still breathing.
Either. Either one of them.
I agree that “either” is more specific. And I don’t mind being reminded of it.
Otoh “any” is defined as
∃ xand every definition I found explicitely specified that cardinality is irrelevant. Either then is a subset of any, not a separate category.So imho this isn’t a mistake and you’re way more unconditional than you should.
PS: as long that everyone remains sufficiently mutually understandable we should adopt a descriptivist attitude towards languages instead of a prescriptivist one.
PPS: Don’t get me started on language as a class marker. This is a threat. c:
As much as I hate Musk, that would have been so beautiful.
Retarded is his new favorite word.
Every accusation by musk is an admission
“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
cowardly mod censoring for “civility” over the call for a righteous fight against fascists.
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.
Yeah, frankly, its hard to be a great comedian, while also an idiot.
Which is why conservative “comedy” is just a bunch of slurs. They can’t come up with actual jokes.
Damn I didn’t know Harvard issued medial cruciate ligaments
To be fair, Conan is not typical, and his brain needs to be studied by scientists after he dies lol
Maybe Jon can tucker carlson elon.
What are the terms of the interview?
Musk just wants it to air unedited. Which means no matter what they do, he would be able to claim it was edited if things don’t go his way and he ends up looking like (an even bigger) fool.
Just shows how stupid Elon is. Stewart is an accomplished interviewer, with the backup of being a comedian. Watch Stewart keep his composure after smashing his coffee cup the other night. He assessed the cut, laughed it off, and finished the monologue instantly. Elmo doesn’t have the composure to handle a problem like that.
Was that a trick cup and fake blood, or the real deal?
Was real, they taped him up during the commercial to finish the interview. Probably just a minor cut, but at his age he’s probably on blood pressure, or heart meds, so small cuts bleed like crazy.
So do a single camera and air it live.
Do multiple cameras, but display them all continuously, and then do all the tricks people use to try to make it obvious no editing was done and put them in the foreground and background of all the angles.
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.
Unedited interviews are bold, but let’s see if Musk handles real scrutiny without edits.
😺😺😺😺
I’m pretty sure every interview is segmented to run ads and if it goes badly then that will be his complaint. See! they cut it! They went to commercial but that’s when I Said Very Smart Things™ that They Don’t Want You To Hear™©® so I’m suing them to take the video down.
Pretty sure they still upload “full interviews” to youtube
you best believe jon is willing and able to release raw video of the entire thing.
my money is on musk backing out - the same way he slunk off with his tail between his legs over the absolutely stupid “mma match” with that fool of a zuck(erberg)
I wish he’d followed through. I am almost certain that even if Zuckerbot had set himself to stun, it would have been too much for Musk’s potato body to handle.
If this doesn’t go Musk’s way I suspect he’ll drop terms the Daily Show would censor forcing them to pull the interview.
Maybe so, but they shouldn’t. Censor it, poke the shit out of that South African fascist Nazi pig, and get him to display his true self for all the world to see. Fuck Musk, filthy Nazi.
Relax, he might not have the mental capacity to understand you.
It’s on cable and it’s aired late enough that they would not have to censor anything if they didn’t want to. It’d be great if Musk tried that and they just let it all go.
Just like the cage match he had with Zuck.
This’d be much much better. Even Joe Average can see muskrat is physically unfit, but his intellectual dishonesty is much easier to cover up.
Musk will never wear a bow tie again.
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.
I have only listened to the podcast for a year but holy shit i die not expect how much stewert softballs his guests and never argues anymore when they are spewing bullshit. I started getting agitated for example when the old white house press secretary came in saying “everything is fine, no crisis here, it’s really Obama’s fault that trump and musk are dismantling the government, dems need better press” and he just nods along. It’s so strange because I feel like that wasn’t the case 15 years ago or whatever.
The only one he pushed back on recently in my memory was Chris Christie.
I do not have high hopes for this upcoming one. It is going to be like Jake Paul vs mike Tyson, nobody wins and it is just for show.
Idk. Seeing how hard he worked for the first responders in NYC, he might just shoot the guy to save the rest of us.
I doubt Musk goes in front of a lot of people at all anymore.
Musk appeared at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last week. I assume there were a decent number of people there (but maybe not a number of decent people).
And his appearance was so incredibly cringy. I have read through the half of that transcript on verge and omg dude literally has brain damage.
I have a bunch of highly functioning k addicts around me and it’s exactly the same way they speak when binging on K a bit too much. Just stammering and these random bleeps of out of context thoughts constantly seep into their conversations.
Cringey doesn’t even capture it for me. Seeing him with that stupid chainsaw and especially the way he said that chainsaw for bureaucracy comment made me feel disgusted in some way I didn’t really think was possible.
This laminated faced fucking Nazi wannabe-autist illegal immigrant piece of shit should be expelled into the sun using one of his own giant space x rocket penises.
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
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 don’t think there’s a bookie in the world who would bet against that.
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.
Exactly this! I mean, I will watch it, but I won’t expect anything meaningful to come out of this.
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.
You forgot
- musk buys wherever the Daily Show is produced
- musk fires Jon
- “The Daily Show, with Sean Hannity”
musk fires Jon
Maybe he’ll come back and lead the resistance with Bernie and AOC
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.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/20/media/jon-stewart-apple/index.html
I think it might depend on their contacts. There’s a high potential for a non compete clause
I promise you Jon Stewart does not have a clause in any contracts stating he can’t continue working in his field (namely comedy writing).
He’s been in the game a long time and is at the very very top of his career right now. He already retired and went into advocating for 9/11 responders healthcare and veterans benefits. He’s only back to doing a show because we need him right now.
We know how Jon handles this exact situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCuIxIJBfCY
Musk will be roasted and embarrassed.
God damn, thanks for this link. I’m not sure how I missed this year old video. I wish I could keep my cool as successfully as Stewart does in situations like this.
It’s amazing how surgical he is while you can see he is literally shaking from anger. It’s like the anger just adds fuel to the fire of his rhetorical wit.
It will never happen.
I hope the audience boos Musk when he walks out looking like the loser he is.
I wonder if it can even be a live interview or if jon will have to do an offsite recorded interview like all of the ones on his pevious show.
