Jon Stewart began his monologue Monday night by addressing Elon Musk's terms for coming on Comedy Central's flagship satirical news program.

Stewart began his opening monologue by reminding the audience that he “made a bit of a critique” of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency during last week’s episode. He then took a jab at Musk’s familial drama before addressing his request for an “unedited” interview.

Musk said on X that he'd be game to go on "The Daily Show" but later called Stewart a "propagandist."
