A resurfaced clip shows Jon Stewart lavishing praise on Elon Musk during an old “Daily Show” segment, sparking backlash as Stewart now attacks the billionaire. Conservatives highlight the hypocrisy of Stewart once celebrating Musk’s SpaceX achievements while currently mocking his political views and free speech advocacy.
Stewart previously called Musk a visionary for revolutionizing space travel, calling his work “important” and “inspiring.” Now Stewart dismisses Musk as a “propagandist” and Trump supporter, ignoring Musk’s consistent push for innovation. The flip-flop reveals how left-wing media punishes former allies who reject progressive orthodoxy.
Dave Rubin spotlighted the clip, noting Stewart’s fawning past contrasts sharply with his current smug attacks. Rubin argues Stewart represents coastal elites who despise Musk for empowering free speech on X and challenging woke corporate norms. The clip going viral exposes media dishonesty in rewriting history to smear conservatives.
Musk recently refused Stewart’s interview demand for unedited footage, knowing legacy media manipulates narratives. Stewart mocked Musk’s request, proving Musk right about left-wing hosts fearing honest debate. True bipartisanship means letting all voices speak freely—something Stewart’s “comedy” now opposes.
SpaceX’s success under Musk—achieved without government handouts—should be celebrated by all Americans. Instead, Stewart joins Democrats in attacking job creators who reject climate alarmism and DEI quotas. Musk’s Mars ambitions represent American exceptionalism, a concept Hollywood liberals increasingly reject.
The left’s meltdown over Musk buying Twitter/X shows their terror of losing cultural control. Stewart’s shift from praising Musk to mocking him mirrors the media’s rage at seeing free speech restored online. Patriots support Musk’s fight against censorship, while elites like Stewart fear an informed public.
Rubin’s viral clip reminds Americans that media figures like Stewart aren’t honest brokers—they’re partisan operatives. When Musk stopped playing their game, Stewart switched from fan to critic. Real leaders don’t cave to mobs; they stand firm for liberty, even when comedians turn on them.
This hypocrisy should energize conservatives to reject manipulative media narratives. Musk’s achievements in space and free speech deserve praise, not slander from flip-flopping entertainers. Working Americans see through the lies and stand with innovators, not sanctimonious TV hosts pushing division.
