Host Jon Stewart recently sliced open his hand while getting riled up about Musk and his initiative’s government cuts. Elon Musk has said he’d be happy to appear on The Daily Show “if the show airs unedited.”. On X, Musk shared a Fox News report about the late-night host’s bloody hand, along with a gift proposal to “comfort” Stewart while he heals.

“I will send him some @DOGE merch to comfort him while he recovers from this injury,” he tweeted on Tuesday evening. There are also DOGE T-shirts embossed with a graphic of Trump and Musk for $40 and a $28 top that shows Trump, Musk, and the Shiba Inu dog – which inspired the original doge meme.
Musk also replied with a dart hitting the bullseye emoji in response to a commenter who wrote of Stewart: “There is a metaphor here. Democrats are so lost in anti-Elon anger that they end up hurting themselves.”. To another who posted the clip and commented: “This is not normal.” Musk responded: “Anger management issues.”.
During Monday’s monologue, Stewart condemned the high price of prescription drugs in an expletive-filled and impassioned rant. “The companies we subsidize with billions of dollars are allowing us the privilege to negotiate the price of 10 of their drugs,” he said.
“And 10 is all of them, right? It would be embarrassing if it was a small drop in the bucket, and that the American people didn’t expect that we should negotiate for all their f***ing drugs, because we have already paid for them with our subsidies!”.
In tandem with the last word of his speech, Stewart slammed down his “World’s Most Dad” coffee mug on his desk, slicing open his right hand which caused audible gasps from the studio audience. “It is f***ing insane! Come on!” he shouted with shards of porcelain scattered over his desk.
“I’ll be going to the hospital soon,” Stewart added after looking down at his injury. The host continued his segment on DOGE and budget cuts with his right hand under his desk before being bandaged up during a commercial break and, eventually, seeing out the remainder of the show.
He later added that he wants “DOGE to work” alongside a more efficient government. “I want to get rid of the alphabet agencies that don’t do enough. Make the Pentagon pass an audit. But we are DOGE-ing in the wrong place if we want to really change the system,” the comedian said.
