Jon Stewart accepts Elon Musk demands for 'Daily Show' interview

Jon Stewart is rejecting Elon Musk’s criticism that he’s “too partisan,” saying he’s “game” for an interview with the tech billionaire if he agrees to appear as a guest on “The Daily Show.”

The 62-year-old comedian made headlines last week after injuring his hand during a segment on the Comedy Central show criticizing Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE.)

“We are DOGEing in the wrong place if we really want to change the system,” Stewart said as he railed against sweeping cuts to the federal workforce made by the agency.

Following Stewart’s remarks, Musk expressed a willingness to appear on “The Daily Show,” writing on X, ““I will do it if the show airs unedited.” But the Tesla CEO then wrote days later, “Jon Stewart is much more a propagandist than it would seem.”

“Musk tweeted, or X’d, I guess, that he would like to come on here and talk to me as long as the show airs unedited,” Stewart told “The Daily Show” audience on Monday.

“After thinking about his offer, I thought, you know, hey, that’s actually how the in-studio interviews normally air is unedited. So, sure, we’d be delighted,” he added. 

“Let me sweeten or unsweeten the pot: The interview could be 15 minutes, it could be an hour, it could be two hours.”

“I’ll be honest, I don’t think this network makes any other programming. So we can do whatever the f— we want as long as we wrap before the new season of ‘South Park,’ which comes out in like May or June of 2026,” Stewart cracked.

“So I am game. I think it would be a very interesting conversation,” he added.

But Stewart then turned to Musk’s “propagandist” comment.

“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, but it’s generally not ‘I support Donald Trump and also Germany’s AFD Party.’ That’s not bipartisan. That’s just the same s—,” Stewart said.

“Look Elon, I do have some criticisms about DOGE. 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 on and talk about it on the show, great. If you don’t want to, sure,” the Monday night “Daily Show” host said.

“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?” Stewart exclaimed.

“Because, quite frankly, that’s bulls—. You know it, I know it. Bulls—,” he said.
