Elon Musk agreed to come on "The Daily Show" after host Jon Stewart delivered a takedown of DOGE, the cost-cutting initiative he unofficially leads.

    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.

        It’s on cable but the advertisers are less concerned with what is legal and more concerned with not supporting programs that air objectionable language like racist terms. The censors also cate about that.

          On the network that airs South Park?

            Yes, because if Elon starts ranting about offensive term for trans/gay/women that crosses lines South Park won’t typically do.

              Unless Elon starts drawing Mohammed live on air, I don’t see him coming anywhere near shit that South Park wouldn’t air.

                South Park also got extremely close to airing the uncensored mohammed multiple times, and the uncensored versions were “leaked” onto youtube a while ago.

              I think advertisers would absolutely love airing ads during the episode of The Daily Show during which the world’s richest man gets absolutely eviscerated and shamed for using slurs. It’s not like they would be celebrating it or airing a scripted show featuring outright bigotry.
