Jon Stewart Accidentally Slices His Hand Open During Fiery Takedown of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency: ‘I Will Be Going to the Hospital Soon’

In this week’s broadcast of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart unintentionally cut himself deeply while shattering a coffee mug on his desk, a move expressing frustration over the disregard shown by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency towards billions of dollars in federal pharmaceutical subsidies that have been overlooked.

To illustrate historical inefficiencies within the U.S. administration, Stewart showcased a video of President Joe Biden commemorating agreements aimed at decreasing the cost of ten commonly used medications.

It’s utterly irrational!

Or consider closing the carried interest loophole for hedge funds, that would save us approximately $1.3 billion annually. And then t Incredibly, I’ve just proposed savings worth billions in a mere 11 seconds!
