Elon Musk engaged in a social media exchange with The Daily Show regarding an episode covering DOGE. Host Jon Stewart critiqued DOGE's approach to reducing government subsidies while humorously addressing waste in civil service. Stewart faced an injury during the segment, prompting Musk's offer to send DOGE merchandise as comfort. Musk expressed willingness to appear on the show under the condition of an unedited broadcast, to which The Daily Show agreed, reflecting a positive audience reception on social media.
During a heated part of his segment, Stewart smashed a mug on his desk, injuring his hand. Musk responded to the incident, stating in a post on X that, "I will send him some DOGE merch to comfort him while he recovers from this injury."
Stewart criticized DOGE's efforts to reduce the federal government's headcount, stating, "Apparently, our nation's civil service is now synonymous with waste, fraud, and abuse."
Musk's condition to appear on The Daily Show was, "I will do it if the show airs unedited," a sentiment appreciated by the show's official X account.
The Daily Show's official X account responded positively to Musk's condition, tweeting, "Elon Musk, we'd be delighted!" which was welcomed by many users on X.
