After saying he wanted to go onThe Daily Show to defend himself, Elon Muskbacked off and tried to discredit Jon Stewart, and the comedian is having none of that. On the Feb. 25, 2025, episode of The Daily Show, Stewart famously cut his hand while smashing a cup of frustration at Elon Musk’s recent cuts as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the impact they have had on people.
