Five key moments from Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin: Elon Musk is unstoppable

Vladimir Putin began his much-anticipated interview on Thursday night by offering a more than 30-minute, counterfactual history lesson to a bemused Tucker Carlson.

The former Fox New host’s interjections (how is this relevant, Mr President?) were swiftly shot down by the Russian leader: “Are we going to have a serious talk or a show?”

Putin’s show, it seemed. Beyond the foray into the Russian president’s version of history, here are the five key and most surprising moments of the more than two-hour sit down.

Imagine calling tucker a traitor for interviewing putin but then showing the interview

Now Tucker needs to interview Biden for the world to see the difference.

It’s hilarious how the mainstream media bashes Tucker for this interview yet has no problem using clips from it for views.

I must've watched a different interview than those from "The Telegraph" because my first takeaway wasn't that Elon Musk in unstoppable. Putin was making a statement that Elon is doing things that seem like they come out of a movie - some would call this a "compliment". This just speaks to the ignorance of those that created this video. No wonder we have such terrible reporting from media.

Now a Russian journalist goes to the US and interviews the US president. Ok?

[Livvvid]

i love how all the media outlets are now sharing his interview like crazy despite calling tucker a traitor lmfao.

[ishadowmarshall]

Can we have a Russian journalist interview Joe Biden for two hours?

[oolkipj]

Cutting a 2 hour interview into “five key moments” under 3 minutes is wild.

Crucial moment number 6 : watch the entire interview and dont go anything off any edited versions

[real-ishstraighttruthnocha]

I love how they skipped over Putin, saying Russia asked if they could join NATO and were told no.

Key moment #2 "Putin threatens World War Three." Did I miss something? I watched the interview and this clip. Nowhere did he threaten that. He correctly stated that "If someone has the desire to send regular troops, that would certainly bring humanity to the brink of very serious global conflict." How is that a "threat?" It is a simple statement that is obvious to everyone with rational thinking.

They still think we didn't see the entire interview

[slavivanov]

Here in the comments, there are people from all over the world - from America, Russia, Germany, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Latvia, Greece, France, China, and many many others. We are all humans and we all want peace! Let's unite in the name of peace. We have families, loved ones, and friends whom we cherish. Let's prevent a potential global (nuclear) war and save our world together!
The world's population is over 8 billion people, let's not leave politicians to decide the fate of our lives!


We want Peace!

[nabeelk]

I recommend people watch the unedited version to understand the full context of what he said.

[pixotass]

People don't go by edited versions of the interview. View the full interview and make an opinion by yourselves! That's all

[mysterytriangle]

Putin is a rational and distinguished person.

[GOODDANY]

Lol, these are the most unimportant moments of the whole 2 hours interview, bravo Telegraph! 👍😆

[sophienben-achour]

Hmmm, I’m not sure these were really the “key moments” from the interview.. Ugh our media is so crooked.

[AbcDino]

I cannot wait to see the spin from the British media today.

[krystallinum]

What’s funny is people will think they watched the whole interview because they watched this highlight reel…
