Jon Stewart accepts Elon Musk's 'Daily Show' interview conditions
Summary
Jon Stewart has agreed to host Elon Musk on The Daily Show after Musk demanded an unedited interview but later called Stewart a “propagandist.”
Stewart fired back, pointing out Musk’s support for Donald Trump and Germany’s far-right AfD party, arguing that Musk’s version of “bipartisanship” is just partisan extremism.
He dismissed Musk’s criticism as hypocritical and reiterated his willingness to air the interview unedited because that's "how the in-studio interviews normally air."

Something else to note is that Jon Stewart pointed out that all of their interviews are aired unedited. So it really wouldn’t be any different than how it would have been anyway.

That’s kind of half true. Sometimes interviews go really long, so they end up putting the full interview on YouTube / Paramount.
But I bet if they got Musk, Comedy Central would make it work and would air the full thing or would at least plug the YouTube channel.
Jon might also bump the field piece segment if they need another 8 minutes. Sometimes they do that.

He said on last night show that he would make sure musk’s interview took as long as it needed.
-
Yeah, he’s the biggest thing on the network. They’ll figure it out for him.

It's been years since I watched the Daily Show, but I do remember seeing edits in the interviews if they went long, but they would show a link to their website where you could catch the whole unedited interview.
