What happened in the hostile Economist interview with Elon Musk?
I mean, some people do loathe you.
Yes, some people do.
But do you understand why?
Maybe some people do loathe me. And that's probably true. I don't care. But the fact that, as you pointed out, a quarter billion people follow me is that I think a lot more people actually like me than don't. And I think a lot more people hate you and the media more than you realize.
Woo! The woke editor-in-chief of The Economist attempts to go after Elon Musk in a super hostile interview. And guess what? I think he dog walks her. You gotta watch it. Let's talk about it.
Guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe. Today, we're gonna be talking about Elon Musk, who recently did an interview with The Economist, where they're essentially going over many things, his contribution to AI, his political takes, how he feels about the UK, and we're gonna focus predominantly on that conversation about the UK. This editor-in-chief, Zannie Minton, is going after Elon Musk and calling him a far-right authoritarian, saying he's an extremist, saying he is a fascist, And he does not bow down to any of her mischaracterizations. Let's start off with clip number one, where she talks about the fact that people loathe Elon Musk. You don't even live there.
I think of it as sort of the West collectively.
But do you see why this makes people think that this man who has all this power, he's the world's richest man, he thinks he has a right to influence our politics. It makes people, it's why, you know, we started this conversation saying superlatives. It's why people loathe you. I mean, some people do loathe you.
Yes, some people do.
But do you understand why? Do you think what you're doing is helpful for Western democracy?
Maybe some people do loathe me. And that's probably true. I don't care. But the fact that, as you pointed out, a quarter billion people follow me is that I think a lot more people actually like me than don't. And I think a lot more people hate you and the media more than you realize.
yeah and i think that's what she needed to hear yeah yeah you know i don't think we all need to base our lives and everything we do as a part of our existence on the opinions of others and whether or not they loathe our personal morals and values he has just as much right as any other person to share the things that he believes to elevate his political message as he's created the platform that people are talking about these political messages So I'm not really getting what the criticism is here. Now, if people don't like what he has to say, that's fine. That's what it's like to be a part of a pluralistic society. But as we all know, the UK is far less pluralistic than it once was. And you know what?
To flip and turn the tables on her a little bit and say, I think people loathe you. is i think a strong point okay a lot of people really do distrust the media they're looking at the media and they're hearing a particular narrative a particular agenda particular propaganda and they're going you know what this is not really stacking with how my life is looking in the uk in the us in the west at large as elon makes that point and we should be able to talk about that i think she came into this interview thinking you know what i'm gonna put this guy in his place and she doesn't understand that he's in the place that he's in for a reason, okay? Maybe she should have prepared just a little bit more, as we're going to see evidenced by some of the other clips we're about to watch.
Now, she asks Elon Musk, is he anti-Muslim?
How does the interviewer frame Elon Musk as an extremist and why?
This is a big talking point when it comes to his presence online.
I don't think there's any racism there.
Are you anti-Muslim?
I am... I'm against... If people are coming to a country with antithetical views, I am against that. I'm against rape and murder. I'm against the imposition of rules and laws that are contrary to what we've come to accept in the West. And I think it's a crying shame that the sort of traditional media like you don't recognize this.
Why should you be able to shape European politics?
