ALBAWABA - The Daily Show host Jon Stewart has gone viral across social media after inviting Tesla owner Elon Musk for an "unedited" interview, further offering a flexible timeline for the interview between 15 minutes and two hours.

Musk recently took to his social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote, "I will do it if the show airs unedited." In response, Stewart entertained Musk's offer and said, "After thinking about his offer, I thought, you know, hey, that’s actually how the in-studio interviews normally air. Unedited."

Jon Stewart stated further, "So sure. We’d be delighted. As a matter of fact, let me sweeten or unsweeten the pot. The interview can be 15 minutes, an hour, two hours, whatever. I’ll be honest, I don’t think this network makes any other programming. So we can do whatever the f*** we want."

During the four-minute clip, Stewart brought up critiquing Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) in the past, which is a temporary department assigned to Musk by US President Donald Trump to "save taxpayers' money and reduce US national debt."

Stewart also responded to Musk's previous posts calling him a "propagandist" and a "bipartisan." He said, "You give me too little credit... Again, 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."

He stated further, "I’m really not sure what he thinks bipartisan means."
