Musk said he'd join The Daily Show only if the interview aired unedited. On Monday, Jon Stewart responded, offering full flexibility on the format.

Show ” host Jon Stewart on Monday called “bullshit” on tech billionaire Elon Musk, who proposed an interview on the show and then seemed to back away from it. Stewart last week slammed Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency government cost-cutting effort ― and opened up a bloody wound on his finger in the process ― for targeting everyday workers and relatively low-cost programs instead of taking on the big industries reaping billions in taxpayer subsidies.

Jon Stewart says he'd be game to have Elon Musk on "The Daily Show" completely unedited — and they can keep rolling for as long as the Tesla chief likes. The possibility of a Stewart-Musk showdown was first floated after Stewart's February 24 monologue on the Department of Government Efficiency.
