Airing 45 minutes of them trying to get ahold of Elon would have been great. 🤣
They should have Mike Myers go on as Elon and do a mock interview.
He has shut down other interviews too. Its clear all he wants is people who kiss his ass and tell him his smart he is.
Every one of these people in Trump's cabinet is a pussy.
fElon isn't in his cabinet. That's kinda one of the many Constitutional Crises that are playing out in real time.
like so many others...
called it!
We know fElon is a coward. Always has been.
Musk demands unedited interviews but can't handle unfiltered criticism—irony at its finest.
😺😺😺😺
Stewart's reply was that all their interviews like this are unedited lol
What a shock. Jon wouldn't hold back punches, and Musk knows that. Musk only goes on Podcasts where the host's opinions change depending on the guest.
For me the weirdest moment was when Joe Rogan - before the election - said that Musk "saved us". Not "is going to save us", already saved us.
Drumpf also alluded to "he's got the best coders, it's just one line of code," fElon will hand us the win! Before the election.
fElon also said before the election, "If he [Drumpf] doesn't win, I'm probably going to prison," [sic] alongside President Elect Drumpf
During the 2000 election, the Diebold electronic voting machines used in many states stored results in an Access database. Kids today wouldn't understand how disastrously insecure that was (Access DBs had an audit table that was manually editable). I have zero doubt that newer machines have similar "flaws" baked in (even if they didn't use Starlink as was reported briefly), making the results absurdly easy to rig.
There's also a huge huge risk of speaking with a master debater (yw). Smart people are everywhere. People who are genuinely good at debating are terrifying to argue with. It's a rabid animal except they have facts and logic and easy to understand, well structured arguments. It's infuriating.
Wish my school has offered debate.
I knew he was going to pussy out. Conservatives who are routinely in the public eye can't survive outside of their safe spaces. That's why Republican politicians are cancelling their town halls. They can't handle anything other than a gentle interview on FOX or OAN with the questions sent to them ahead of time so they can get their answers from the heritage foundation.
the right suddenly stopped talking about masculinity is jaw-dropping
It's insulting to president musk and his fat, gross lap dog.
Musk is a bitch with a big ol pussy
Is anyone surprised? Elon is dumb, but he's knows better than to go up against Jon.
What else would a coward do?
He couldn't even follow through on his fight with clothing store mannequin Mark Fuckerberg.
Even though he's just 5'7" and 155 lbs, I don't think I'd want to take Zuckerberg on.
I've got half a foot and a hundred pounds on him, I would jump at the opportunity.
I don't even know you but I'd jump at the opportunity to watch that
Eh, I don't think he's been upgraded to the liquid metal version yet so you'd probably be OK.
Hey Elon!
I don't think that man wants to be in a room with someone smarter than him on live TV
someone smarter than him
...and that's a LOT of the population.
Which is why he entirely avoids live TV. Elon is at best an idiot savant. And I'd put emphasis on idiot.
He Mr Magoon'd his way to being the wealthiest man in the word
Im so shocked
Brave Sir Elon ran away. Bravely ran away away. When danger reared it's ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Elon turned about And gallantly he chickened out. Swiftly taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat. Bravest of the brave, Sir Elon!
Came here for this and was not disappointed.
All talk. No substance. Like all of MAGA. Just a bunch of J@cka$$e$ 🙄
Did his mom tell him no? Like with the Zuckerberg fight?
I’m sure he’ll be on Joe rogan again getting verbally fellated and reassured that he dodged a bullet not going on the violent left wing propaganda deep state media show
From what I've seen, if you watch any of Rogan you'd find that he's not actually shouting MAGA to the heavens. He's literally the "I'm just asking questions" guy, a useful idiot who normalizes right-wing thought for them, not the place they go for reassurance. Bannon and the like are the ones saying crap like deep state conspiracy.
Mischaracterizations are what fuel the right's rhetoric when they try to say we don't know what we're actually talking about.
I think this used to be true, but not so much anymore.
Oh no he pretends to be balanced to some degree but he's completely bought into the maga propaganda. He may be a useful idiot, but he's a useful idiot who is all in 100%. They're not mischaracterizing him at all.
Bannon is smart enough to know it's all a means to an end but nobody's going to him for reassurance. Especially not Musk. Bannon loves shit talking Musk.
Him "smoking" the spliff on that show was the epitome of a "pick-me".
Figured Elon would wait until the day off to back out, not immediately after Jon announced it was on
Musk probably watched Stewart’s conservative show interview appearances over on YouTube, dating back to his first stint on the daily show. They couldn’t trip Stewart. He rolled over all of them. The interviews stopped, again, surprising no one.
Jon Stewart single-handedly got CNN's "Crossfire" ( featuring a not-yet-fully-crazy Tucker Carlson) cancelled just by going on the show and doing his thing.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Stewart%27s_2004_appearance_on_Crossfire
In the final exchange before a commercial break, Carlson remarked that he thought Stewart was "more fun on your show, just my opinion." Stewart responded, "You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show."
(Shit, that was over 20 years ago. I'm old ....)
Carlson never recovered from that bowtie burn
When he yelled “that went great!” It probably sealed the deal.
He a bitch like asmongold
I stopped paying attention to asmon after he started openly supporting genocide of muslims and brown folk. Has he doubled down on that stance in the last few months?
Edit: downvotes from asmon stans on lemmy? Quick poll to the downvoters: what's your instance? I have a guess, but I want to see if I'm right.
