    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!

    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.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Stewart%27s_2004_appearance_on_Crossfire

    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."

    (Shit, that was over 20 years ago. I'm old ....)

    Jon Stewart: "How old are you?"

    Tucker Carlson: "35."

    Jon Stewart: "And you wear a bow tie."

    "Look, I'm not suggesting you aren't a smart guy, because those things are not easy to tie. But the thing is, you're doing theatre, when you should be doing debate. It's not honest... what you do is partisan hackery."

    Jon Stewart on Crossfire

    And so savage was the mockery that he never wore a bowtie again.

    Bro, around 10:50 Jon made a statement he would later regret:

    "In terms of the absurdity of this group, they're going to be hard to top."

    Regarding the Bush administration.

    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.

    I'm shocked. Right up there with his cage fight with Zuck. He can't handle pressure. He got booed at Chappelle's standup show, and reportedly locked himself in his office to the point where people had to check on him and were worried he was self harming. He's fucking 10 ply.

    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.

    Typical far-right behavior. They stay in their safe spaces and pay to artificialy amplify their unpopular messages.

    What was it, like a quarter of all the accounts on Facebook and Twitter are just AI chat bots trying to get people to engage?

    What else would a coward do?

    He couldn't even follow through on his fight with clothing store mannequin Mark Fuckerberg.

    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.

    Musk demands unedited interviews but can't handle unfiltered criticism—irony at its finest.

    They should have Mike Myers go on as Elon and do a mock interview.

    What a shock. Jon wouldn't hold back punches, and Musk knows that. Musk only goes on Podcasts where the host's opinions change depending on the guest.

    Is anyone surprised? Elon is dumb, but he's knows better than to go up against Jon.
