I mean, I was saying pre his buying of Twitter, I did a segment.
I sat in for Rachel Maddow once on MSNBC, and I did a segment about how he was a hypocrite on free speech, even before the Twitter stuff came along.
He had a long history of going after people, trying to silence their free speech, trying to silence Tesla workers, Tesla critics, etc.,
He was never a champion of free speech.
He's a champion of speech that he likes, speech that favors him.
And he's also a deeply thin-skinned, egomaniacal narcissist.
So it didn't surprise me.
It did surprise me that he agreed to an interview with you, but it didn't surprise me that his reaction to that interview and you asking some, you know, toughish questions at times, questions that needed to be asked.
That's pretty easy.
Tough is a subjective word.
You asked challenging questions.
You challenged him with facts, and he couldn't handle the challenge.
And he got very upset, and he told you time's running out, and he told you you have to go somewhere.
Classic.
I interviewed John Bolton once.
He kept telling me, I've got to go, I've got to go.
Classic tick of an interviewee who's under pressure.
They want to wrap up the interview.
But I knew what he would do is that he would turn on you.
He turned on Barry Weiss.
