CNBC, have you really cut this interview into 5 or 6 pieces? I'm sure many people would love to see the complete video -> the complete interview.

[joaobento]

What is unfair is CNBC doing 1 hour interview and publishing 1 min to influence opinions against Elon Musk. 🤡

[christiannegadot]

is the uncut version of the interview available? I'd like to watch the whole thing... Thanks.

MUSK loves china and Rusia ❤❤❤❤🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Musk is 100% correct. The United States must never allow another nation to have the only legal rights to essential resources like rare earth minerals necessary for essential batteries. We knew there was a growing problem yet failed to do much about it. We have other areas where government is seriously failing in areas such as: 1) proper oversight of certain agencies tasked with U.S. security, 2) monopolistic business practices, 3) uncountered propaganda, 4) little oversight of government spending, 5) failure of Congress to replace borrowed funds from our Social Security Program, 6) failure of our government to apply income taxes evenly for the rich and poor unfairly burdening the middleclass, 7) proper accounting of campaign donations especially from PACs, 8) and so on, and so

For a person who professes to be on a path to do what is practically impossible, he really was quick in using the word "inevitable". Nothing is inevitable.

but who is ice and what does that have to do with space ex...???

[forthecountry]

Half that inevitability is Tesla's 100% support of China.

[sobyval]

It's ironic how he has no filter when talking about any other topic/country but when there is any question about China it's like he suddenly realized that there's something called a filter and he shouldn't say anything bad about them

[angeliahoffman]

All the more reason to make chips in America. It's a disgrace that we don't currently have the systems in place . Fully greed

[matng]

All talk until he starts to pull his business out of China and Taiwan

[focusingbeauty]

"One doesn't have to read between the lines, you can read THE lines" ;)

[tonval]

As he said they mean it and it is inevitable. We should approach this situation more careful

[andysammy]

Elon's number concern is rightfully not America, he's doing what he should which is caring about his interests

[lothean]

When it comes to war, when your enemy is trying to take your ground, leave no ground for them to take.

[DigitalWaterbrush]

We need to really see the whole interview. Yes this is youtube. But I would never make a critique on snippets.

[JohnFrumFromAmerica]

Why are we bothering to ask Elon these questions

[margaret-urzi]

I Love this man. Brilliant #bigcalling

[lourdessilva]

Maravilha de entrevista nosso futuro presidente

[jeanettebartosik]

Wow, CNBC uploaded this video 5+ Xs to
show not many people watching, or is it to
not allow messages to be circulated?? Or is it to generate ad revenue?
