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.
That’s a pussy in your country?
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.

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.”

When he yelled “that went great!” It probably sealed the deal.
Right? Makes you feel old, doesn’t it?
Elon can’t handle it so he ducked out. In addition, Tesla probably texted him and said don’t.
His cybertruck sent him a message saying “this is an uphill battle. I cannot help, you’re on your own”
And then caught fire.
I suspect everyone knows better than to tell him not to do it. That’s likely as anything to make him decide he will do it.
But they also know if they don’t press the issue, Musk will always flake on any thing like this.
I don’t know how my mother convinced me to watch Crossfire. I was a kid. She thought it was intellectually awesome.
EDIT: To be clear, I don’t remember anything about Crossfire.
(Shit, that was over 20 years ago. I’m old …)
i watched that crossfire interview when it first aired and i think it’s telling that stewart & the daily show et al. are still the primary vanguard of american liberalism when the rest of the world has changed; especially so when they solely focus on stoking the culture war fires and ignoring the class war that creates them.
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.
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.
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.
Rogan literally said Musk “saved us” - before the election no less.
I think this used to be true, but not so much anymore.
Him “smoking” the spliff on that show was the epitome of a “pick-me”.
Hey Elon!
Did his mom tell him no? Like with the Zuckerberg fight?
Not surprising. Fuck you, Musk pathetic racist asshole…
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
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.
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
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.
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.
He’s a mediocre gamer at best
Asmongold looks like he smells of cum and teenage girl perfume
That seems to be his appeal, if you can believe that. He serves as validation for a specific type of degenerate lifestyle I think moreso than his views.
We know fElon is a coward. Always has been.
