Jon Stewart Tells the Right ‘Welcome to Our World’ Over Elon Musk/Donald Trump Schism
The two most powerful men in the country are fighting like teenagers on Twitter, shocking exactly 49.8 percent of the country and literally no one else.
Less than a year after controversial Tesla CEO President Donald Trump, the two billionaires are trading barbs on social media following Musk’s departure from the Department of Government Efficiency and on the eve of Congress voting on Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” Trump has threatened to terminate the many lucrative contracts that Musk’s companies have struck with the federal government, while Musk alleged in a since-deleted tweet that Trump’s name is all over the classified files the FBI has on the late pedophile and financier (and mutual friend to both feuders) Jeffrey Epstein.

The right-leaning media is now in a somber state of dismay over the two oligarchs’ personal differences, with Fox anchors and figureheads trying desperately to understand why our country’s most powerful leaders are willing to go scorched earth over petty, personal vindictiveness. To which The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart asks, “First time?”
In his segue from covering the ICE invasion of Los Angeles and the explosive protests that followed them, Stewart played a montage of Republican news media figures soberly praying for peace before revealing that the Newsmax mourners aren’t responding to the ongoing destruction in California — they’re falling apart over the War of the Tweets.
“See, for the Right, right now, I guess that’s the real national tragedy,” Stewart said of the schism. “The upset in L.A. is in a blue state in a blue city with people that they don’t give a f--- about.” And, as Stewart noted, ICE’s aggressive California campaign came at an opportune moment for the White House, which was still reeling from Musk’s Epstein allegations when the unrest began.
Stewart then mocked Trump’s evasive answer to a question about declassifying the Epstein files as well as FBI director Kash Patel’s claim on The Joe Rogan Experience that the Epstein allegations are “way outside my lane,” asking, “Not your lane? Aren’t you literally in charge of the Epstein files?”
“Musk has threatened to expose Trump, and Trump has threatened to cancel Musk’s government contracts,” Stewart said plainly. “It must be hard for the Right to see how petty and petulant these two man-babies are, and how they wield their power in vindictive and capricious manners when they don’t get exactly their way, and the damage that that behavior causes.”
“I guess what I would say to the Right is, ‘Welcome to our f---ing world every day! Now you know!’” Stewart exclaimed. “You just got a taste of their paper-thin, over-sensitive, fragile, ego-driven nihilism.”
Now that said nihilism is aimed within the party instead of toward transgender teenagers or nuclear safety professionals, suddenly it’s a problem for the right-wing media.
