Elmo will respond with rhetoric, lies, half-truths, incendiary nonsense, &/or dumb jokes.
Jon will call him out on his bullshit.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Here’s how it’s going to go down:
We know how Jon handles this exact situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCuIxIJBfCY
Musk will be roasted and embarrassed.

Exactly this! I mean, I will watch it, but I won’t expect anything meaningful to come out of this.
You forgot
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.
I think it might depend on their contacts. There’s a high potential for a non compete clause

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.
