Jon Stewart on Thursday argued that President Donald Trump won’t hit billionaire Elon Musk with a lawsuit after the former White House official used his social media platform to declare that the president was in the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files.
The “Daily Show” host, in the latest episode of his “Weekly Show” podcast, said the two have a relationship similar to the U.S. and China, where they understand that “mutually assured destruction” is at play.
“I think they know enough about each other,” Stewart said.
“But he’s been quiet lately, don’t you think?” replied producer Brittany Mehmedovic of Musk.
“No question, I think, but he’s still got his lovely social media platform, which is MechaHitler-ing all over people’s timelines so it’s still a very positive — net positive for humanity,” Stewart replied.
