Free speech advocate, or maybe he meant freeze peach?
This was somewhat gutsy of the reporter to ask, but when Elmo dodged like that he should have said, “Well I guess that’s the interview over. We’ll just air this clip and get about 10 million views. Should pay for our time here nicely.” And then left the Nazi prick to sit and stew in his own shit.
Of course the Nazi prick is gonna dodge the question.
“So… about your spaceships. Would you allow foreign kids on them?”
“If they pay me 10 million dollars, sure.”
Nazi coward gonna Nazi cower.
White settlers from South Africa are refugees though.
Even Elon doesn’t want tariffs.
And unlimited immigration… And by unlimited he means unlimited H1B
Bootlick harderHe isn’t a government expert either, so why TF is he fucking with our government?
They’re correct. But neither is he a space or engineering expert, so maybe we should just ignore his opinions on those things entirely as well.
I actually disagree, Elon has been a high profile, staunch supporter of the Republicans and Trump for a while now and was at a high level position with a lot of influence on the government (head of DOGE), and still has significant influence on Republicans, I think it’s only natural to ask someone like that their opinions on government policy.
They are wrong that none of his “endeavors” deal with immigration.
True, but he’s only an expert in exploiting visa workers.
well lets not get carried away with the “expert” title.
Guys let’s try to keep the discussion about Rampart
All he knows about spaceships he learned from “The Dictator” movie.
He should have watched “The Great Dictator”.
He did. He thought the Nazis getting hit on the head with frying pans in a Jewish ghetto were being unfairly attacked.
The NSFW one or the original?
FYI, this is the actual transcript, not a meme.
Fuck Elon Musk
No. No, no, no. Under no circumstances should anyone fuck Elon Musk. I cannot emphasize this enough. Elon Musk should be left alone to go fuck himself.
You know what I meant. This isn’t clever.
It’s mildly amusing though.
Anyone fucking Elon Musk deserves the Purple Heart 💜
What does that mean? (The US medal thing? I thought it was about the emoji)
The Purple Heart is an American military medal for those wounded in combat.
Nah, he’s not hot enough. Plus the nazi vibe really doesn’t help
“Free speech absolutist”
I want to thank the OP for not showing felons disgusting pig face in the meme
To be fair, free speech should include the freedom not to speak.
He should fucking exercise it more
I agree he doesn’t have to answer, but if you’re supposed to be REALLY into free speech which largely means freedom of the press, you probably wouldn’t be into giving the press huge stipulations on what questions they are allowed to ask or not.
Musk isn’t playing fair though.
“Please stick to making me look good”
No. Well… No.
“Do you think that foreign students might have materially contributed to the creation of your spaceships?”
If this isn’t the kind of stuff you’re asking. You’re doing it wrong.
The press is very deeply beholden to wealth.
What’s your question? Keep in mind that he can get up and walk away from the interview at any time.
nothing? do you see a question mark?
Better than letting the shitstain get free advertising for his companies by conducting a non-critical interview about spaceships. The era where people thought of him as some kind of Tony Stark really should be over, and any journalists conducting interviews with that premise are just serving his cause.
Elon getting up mid interview and walking away would be spectacular. That’s more damaging than “I don’t want to answer that”.
so you just dont ever ask any pressing questions? I see why your objective media coverage tumbled down a cliff in the recent months
Months? Its always been like this. News media is a loss-maker, you dont get promoted if youre not an effective propagandist for the owners, you don’t get interviews with powerful figures if they dont expect it to benefit them. When the press core was informed, for the first time, that we had invaded Panama, their question weren’t “wtf what do you mean we just invaded a foreign country” or “how many civilians died”, it was “did any americans due”
