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.

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.

From the article...

Musk appeared to accept the challenge, replying Tuesday to one user, "I will do it if the show airs unedited."

"The Daily Show" took notice, reposting the message Wednesday from its official account accepting the terms.

Unedited, streamed live.

Though this does remind me of that asshole and wife abuser Steven Crowder bailing from a debate with Sam Seder.

Seder took steps to make sure Steven was available and couldn't just say, "oh I got a thing", used Ethan from H3h3 to rope a dope him.

And then came the showdown and Steven bailed.

I'm pretty sure every interview is segmented to run ads and if it goes badly then that will be his complaint. See! they cut it! They went to commercial but that's when I Said Very Smart Things™ that They Don't Want You To Hear™©® so I'm suing them to take the video down.

you best believe jon is willing and able to release raw video of the entire thing.

my money is on musk backing out - the same way he slunk off with his tail between his legs over the absolutely stupid "mma match" with that fool of a zuck(erberg)
