Jon Stewart Roasts Trump’s Support of Elon Musk Despite Accusing Mark Zuckerberg Of ‘Election Interference’
The Daily Show host Jon Stewart called out former President Donald Trump’s apparent double standard on “election interference” regarding Elon Musk after he praised “how good a guy” the billionaire tech mogul was at a campaign rally over the weekend.
During Monday’s episode, the comedian highlighted Trump’s drastically different attitudes toward Musk and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, depending on whose side they’re on.
Stewart pointed out that Musk’s PAC offers $47 to swing-state voters who provide personal details. Yet when it comes to other tech giants like Zuckerberg, who contributed over $400 million to assist with the 2020 election logistics during the pandemic, has been accused by Trump of “election interference.”
Stewart pointedly questioned the former president’s logic in differentiating between the two tech leaders.
“What the f**k?” he shouted.
His criticism continued as he rhetorically asked: “Wait, that’s not election interference because he’s for you?”
