Stewart was claiming that DOGE is ‘targeting’ federal workers and basic services while allegedly ignoring big government handouts, often billions of dollars in subsidy given to the large corporations like pharma industry.
The mug was placed before Stewart as a prop in the show. The mug had a printed slogan, ‘World’s Most Dad’, as a sly reference to Elon Musk for his many children he has fathered with multiple women.
Stewart slammed the mug down hard in a passionate outburst, smashing it and badly injuring his hand.
