I love how the BBC thinks they can just edit out all the most embarrassing moments. It's like no one told them about the internet.

You are literally proving Elon right by not posting the part where he questions the BBC.

This isn't journalism this is a hit piece.

This is one of the most embarrassing interviews I've ever seen. Love how the BBC just edited out the stuff they don't want you to see.

We all know how the interview actually went.

Such a shameful act by BBC, by editing that part.

When I saw that this interview was 8 minutes I am figuring they cut our all of the parts where Elon made the interviewer look like a fool. You must go see the full interviewer. Elon was absolutely brilliant. Kudos to Elon. Boy, I really like him more every time I hear him and adore his desire to preserve free speech. Love you Elon

I loved how he called out the BBC for misinformation, but of course they wont post that part...

[aideylarge]

I would urge everyone to watch the unedited version without BBC bias

Elon ripped that interviewer a new one 😂

[charleswakudyanaye]

[unhuilee]

This is one of the best examples of what BBC is currently doing.

[defaultsettings]

"You just lied." Why would they edit that part out? It was the best part of the interview 😂

[CripMac]

Interviewer got ripped to shreds and bbc had to chop this video in pieces 😂😂😂😂

[arturogonzalez]

When an activist try to play the role of a journalist.

[solidcrewyt]

So extraordinary of a conversation that BBC had to cut the best parts.

[mikemeeks]

You're proving Elon right. Post the whole interview. Nothing to hide, right?

[Thecaptainblackadder]

When you open with the line “interview that took place”, you know it’s a disaster

[yasserarafat]
