How do you like Elon Musk?

Well, I think that if he was to disappear from public life, it would be better for the world.

I think he's an absolute unmitigated disaster and he's going to destabilise European democracies.

The speech that he did in Trafalgar Square was insane.

He said, you know, it is coming and you will have to fight.

Although in some Scandinavian countries, you know, the –

Lord of the Rings is very popular with the far right.

They see it as a kind of creation myth for white Europe.

It always did.

Go on.

I do love that about Star Trek.

And I wonder, people like Elon Musk will say, or people like us, we're woke liberal libtards or whatever.

But we grew up in a time where the popular culture was liberal.

You know, like the Star Trek.

Like you say, with Gene Roddenberry, you know, first interracial kiss on American television.

The empire that was thrusting out into the stars was very benign.

It wasn't exploitative of the people it met.

And then, you know, Marvel Comics.

I always think about that.
