Beautiful! Amazing how easy it is when you know the answer before you ask it. This guy was twisted up like a pretzel. How sure and arrogant the media (leftist) act until they have to grapple with truth. Now he has to clean the puddle he left a below his chair.

Growing up (as a genXer in California) , this kind of weak protest would have been scoffed upon - “slightly racist or slightly sexist….” The more I see of this kinda “safe space” silliness, the more I understand the fall of Rome and every other former empire.

Well done Elon. Now if you haven’t already fixed the problem, let substack back on Twitter.

Thanks for posting this. I cross-posted it on my site. Key take-away: These interviewers show their true colors whenever they are challenged. So what we need is more people who are interviewed who WILL challenge them. This is probably why such people are almost never interviewed by the mainstream media.

Wow. Total destruction. I actually squirmed in my chair watching that BBC reporter disintegrate in just over four minutes. "Let's talk about something else." was his only comeback, a comeback that was used...what...a half dozen times? In just over four minutes? Wow.

Sadly, the reporter could only say that others were talking about “hateful content” but couldn’t provide one example. I think this is more of a younger Gen person being triggered by humor we all used to find funny (some of us still do). God forbid this wilting flower ever watches Saturday Night Live reruns from the 1980’s or, (oh, no!) George Carlin. His head would explode.

Delicious start to the day so far . Wish he would interview someone from the CBC here in Canada . I"ll assume the Trusted News Initiative was in lock step with the same agenda in all those G7 countries. Suspect this BBC guy will be getting "retraining" somewhere.

Utterly brilliant! Wonderful to see BBC’s arrogance toppled so spectacularly and eloquently.

Thank you Mr Musk. Let’s do more of these interviews please .

It's amazing that on the BBC this morning, here in the UK, this interview was hailed as a 'scoop'... and Mr Clayton was live linked from California, full of pride, beaming with satisfaction at his coup and suggesting that after the interview Elon and he just chatted together 'for ages' during which time Elon had suggested how difficult it was to find friends when you have $200bn in the bank. Funny that this side of the interview was completely overlooked... Very satisfying to watch.

I'll give you an example. Sir, did you condone, support or fund the U.S. invading Iraq, looking for "Weapons of Mass Distraction"? That led to the death of 2.5M people and 500K children. Including running over children with Tanks... In order to "steal their oil" and give it to Russia's Gazprom and EXXON? Well then, your a mass murdering moron and deserve the death penalty.
