Look, I don't know what Elon Musk wants. I don't know him personally. I haven't even yet had a chance to interview him, which I really look forward to doing because I think he's one of the great visionaries of our time. Whether you like him or not, I think that's undeniably true. But my sense is he's trying to talk about all the things that we've been discussing, freedom of expression,

We're not supposed to stay in a place with the walls closing in on us and feel like we're in decline. We're not supposed to be a civilisation that has 1.5 children per woman and that is simply just leaving the planet Earth because we can't reproduce. We're supposed to look at the future with hope and optimism. We're supposed to say, I want things to be better.

I want things to be better for my children. I want to have children. I want the vision of our society being one of positivity and optimism and a sense of a pioneering vision and inspiration. That's what I think he wants. And...

i don't really see any of that in the current government in the uk and i think he's right to go after them and say you are destroying your country's economy you're destroying its culture you're destroying its sense of cohesiveness by allowing illegal immigration you are destroying that sense of optimism and vision and you're not saying to people let's build something better you're saying let's stay small let's play small let's not rise above our station and i think

We need people like that, imperfect as they may be in all sorts of different ways, to drive our civilization forward, to say to us there is an inspiring vision to which we're all moving as opposed to just sitting there and waiting to die, which is what we've been doing for far too long.
