Jon Stewart mocks Elon Musk's black eye saying it looks like he had a ‘bad night in Nashville bar'
The Daily Show host Jon Stewart mocked Elon Musk' s black eye, joking he looked 'beaten down' like a 'guy who had a bad night in a Nashville bar,' after working for President Donald Trump for 100 days.
Comparing a photo of Musk enthusiastically jumping at a Trump rally several months ago to him now – looking tired and donning a big, black eye, Stewart jokingly expressed sympathy for the tech mogul. Musk sported the eye injury during his goodbye event in the Oval Office and said one of his children had hit him.
'Honestly, I'm starting to feel bad for this guy. Look at him, he's been there four months. Look at the poor bastard. It only took four months to go from this to this,' Stewart said.
Stewart continued to mock: 'Look at this f***ing guy! He went from tech titan given a mandate to move fast and crush the deep state to a guy who had a bad night in a Nashville bar he can't remember.'
'He looks beaten down. He's got that look on his face that I imagine his employees normally have. Black eye, thousand yard stare, this dude has seen some shit. I'd like to know at least how that happened,' he said.
'So, you're not going to tell us what happened. Do you need a safe place to stay?' Stewart quipped about Musk's explanation.
The host acknowledged that sometimes parents roughhouse with their children, but noted, 'I'm also sure that one sentence no parent has ever uttered to their child is, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face.''
Musk, a special government employee with a 130-day working period, ran his time out in the White House last week. Before leaving the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, he appeared alongside Trump at the White House on Friday. The press conference came as a report claimed Musk was using drugs 'intensely' and regularly during the 2024 presidential campaign, including 'chronically' using the powerful anesthetic ketamine.
Musk was allegedly using ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and Adderall, which he kept in a daily medication box that held about 20 pills.
Though Musk has denied the allegations, Stewart took the opportunity to take a swing at the Tesla and SpaceX CEO over his alleged drug abuse.
'Who amongst us hasn't unwound sometimes with a little mixture of ecstasy, mushrooms, ketamine and Adderall? What could be the harm?' Stewart joked.
Stewart also showed a clip of Musk's final Trump administration interview with CBS News' Sunday Morning, during which Musk said he hoped to stick to 'the subject of the day,' meaning spaceships.
'Look what Trump has reduced this man to. Has has broken this poor man,' Stewart said.

Kris Jenner follows daughter Kylie's lead and makes shock plastic surgery admission
has shared that she and daughter Kylie Jenner share the same plastic surgeon after the 27-year-old opened up about her breast augmentation in 2019. Kris, 69, shared that Dr Garth Fisher was also responsible for her 2011 facelift and called him a 'close and treasured friend.' Kris praised Fisher for performing her first facelift and thanked him for allowing cameras in the operating room. In the comment section of the surgeon's Instagram, Kris wrote: 'Garth you are such a superstar class act!! You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! '[You] made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid… you have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!' Indeed, Kris' facelift was filmed for an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kris went under the knife to rejuvenate her face ahead of daughter Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kris Humphries. In the episode, Kris is in tears as she sits in the waiting room surrounded by her children. Clearly getting more nervous before the procedure Kris says: 'I don't want to die.' Kim soothes her by saying: 'Don't be nervous. If you're scared you don't have to do this. I'm sure everyone gets scared.' The children then pile on top of their mother for a group hug before they wave her off to surgery. While recovering from the operation, Kim assured her mom that the results were already positive. She said: 'Mom, you look fab. So gorgeous.' More recently Kris has been rocking a much more youthful complexion that has sparked facelift rumors. A rep for Kris recently confirmed that she sought the expertise of Dr Steven Levine - known as the 'facelift maestro' - to help her achieve her new look, according to Page Six. While the exact procedure Kris underwent remains unclear, the New York based plastic surgeon specializes in 'natural-looking enhancements of the face, breasts, and body' as per his website. Kris' shout-out to Fisher comes after Kylie revealed the surgeon performed her 2019 boob job. In response to her revelation, Fisher said he was 'honored' for the recognition while stressing the lengths he takes to ensure patient confidentiality at his practice. Fisher said: 'I'm honored to be acknowledged by Kylie - her kind post was unexpected but truly appreciated. 'Patient confidentiality has always been the foundation of my practice. Over 3 decades, we've never had a single breach. My entire team is thoroughly trained and bound by strict NDAs and confidentiality agreements. 'This is more than policy - it's our culture.' The surgeon added: 'HIPAA laws are in place to protect patients, and I will never discuss any details of a procedure unless the patient has chosen to share them or given me permission. 'Every patient is unique. This isn't "cookbook" surgery - it's thoughtful, personalized care.' Fisher is famed for being the man behind many of the Kardashian and Jenner family procedures. The board-certified surgeon also did Kourtney Kardashian's breast augmentation and removed a tumor from Khloe's face. He even gave a pre-transition Caitlyn Jenner a revision facelift, which was also featured on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Has Tires been renewed for Season 3? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled? Tires is a new workplace comedy series set at an auto repair shop. It's very easy to binge-watch, and if you vibed with the humour in season 1, you'll feel the same way about this extended follow-up. If you've watched all the episodes in both seasons, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here's what we know: What is Tires about? Tires revolves around the employees of an auto repair shop which is in danger of going out of business. The shop's manager, Will, does his best to revive its flagging fortunes but his best efforts are often undone by his employee (and cousin) Shane who prefers larking around to doing any actual real work. Season 2 though, includes more small-business, small-town shenanigans, with a mandatory HR meeting going to hell, the hunt for a new manager and a relaunch party includes some pretty surprising We have extensive coverage of Tires across the site, including reviews for both seasons, which you can find HERE! Will there be a Tires Season 3? At the time of writing, Tires has not been renewed for season 3. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Tires has had a decent reaction from critics and audiences alike, with many commenting that the show is an easy binge-watch, has some good characters and the story is simple enough to slip into. Given the way this show is set up, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a third season. The series has plenty of potential and we do know its been a big hit with the streamers. Netflix are generally more lenient on their comedy offerings, and we'd imagine that Tires will follow suit. However, we could be completely wrong, given Netflix do tend to cancel a lot of their series, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about Season 3 so far: Barely anything is known about season 3 at this point as Netflix haven't officially renewed this one. Should it be renewed, we'd imagine the antics over at the shop to continue, with plenty more character drama and crass humour to boot. If this series is renewed, we'd expect it to be green-lit with another 12 episode order, with a lot of the old cast returning too. Do you want to see Tires return for a third season? What did you think of the show? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Biden probe to focus on alleged use of autopen
The Trump administration has launched an investigation into former President Joe Biden 's actions, alleging his aides concealed his 'cognitive decline' and questioning who was truly running the country during his presidency. The investigation will examine Biden's executive actions and the alleged use of an 'autopen' to sign official documents, for which no evidence has yet been presented. Biden has responded to the claims as 'ridiculous' and 'false,' saying that he made all the decisions regarding pardons, executive orders, and legislation during his presidency. White House counsel David Warrington will lead the investigation, with Attorney General Pam Bondi consulting. Democrats, including Congressman Dan Goldman, have criticized the investigation as a distraction from President Donald Trump's controversies.
