Jon Stewart has his say on the "historic shift in atmosphere" ahead of Donald Trump's second inauguration on Monday night.

Stewart took on Trump's news-filled inauguration day on Comedy Central on Monday (full video below) daily show. During Stewart's 15-minute opening remarks, he mocked the tech billionaires in attendance, President Joe Biden's last-minute pardon for his family, Elon Musk's controversial crowd tribute and, of course, Trump speech.

— All tech giants surrender to Trump: "A bunch of bald billionaires all seem to go to the same biohacking life extension clinic and say, 'Give me Lex Luthor'... These six people control 20% of the world's wealth and 100% Nude. Shouldn't this party be in a volcanic lair near Zurich? Or are we just open source Illuminati? Now, where's the fun in the conspiracy? Honestly, there's not a single useful communication app out there that isn't made by these people. At least one person controls it. You probably wouldn't worry about them all paying a million dollars to sit around and kiss the ass of a president who publicly threatens not to kiss his ass, but trust me, things are going to get weird."

— Regarding Elon Musk's emphatic gesture, many said it looked very similar to a Nazi salute (Musk scoffed at the claim): "Well, out of kindness, I'd like to say this was just an awkward 'my heart goes out to you' move. It was a one-time move. Please try not to use it again" (Stewart then plays to the crowd behind him This is the second time Musk has done this). "I'm just going to be generous and say that maybe this is Elon's attempt to combat the haters."

— Trump didn't put his hand on the Bible during his swearing-in: "Because one of them will catch fire. Maybe both."

— Trump expressed displeasure with Biden during his swearing-in speech as the former president sat directly behind him: "(Biden) is right behind you! Fortunately, I don't think he can hear you. The inaugural address follows the American tradition of passive-aggressive power transfers - where the incoming president can speak before the outgoing president, Even in front of his spouse, he cursed the outgoing president."

— Just as Trump takes office, Biden pardons other members of his immediate family at the last minute: “Biden, you are exist Inauguration! Do you automatically schedule your pardon? What the fuck man? Do you just forgive your whole family? It doesn't look good. Like all good captains, when the ship was about to sink, he gave the order: "That lifeboat is for my family!" The rest of you can do the Jack and Rose thing. "

Stewart concluded: "The takeaway from the day is that a man who sought to overthrow the government has been peacefully handed over power, and the outgoing president has begun a new tradition of granting blanket pardons to everyone around him. These two men created A giant snake sucking its own dick, it’s a cycle of irresponsibility.”
