Elon full BBC interview 12 April 2023

57min, #ElonMusk entire interviewed with journalist James Clayton

[Joenzinator]

Unlike a politician, he actually tries to answer every question the reporter throws at him. This is what a genuine person looks like.

[mikeramia]

Elon kept referring back to BBC, and laughing at his own 🍆 joke. Absolute Legend

[varmoes]

In other words, we've just witnessed a prime example why you shouldn't play semantic games with Elon or get ready to get steamrolled.

[brockparaf]

Every single question this man asked was in bad faith.

[smygba]

The reporter did a terrible, terrible job here. Opportunity of a lifetime to speak to Musk and he messed it up.

[RONMAYS]

Passive aggressive interviewer style, Elon is Awesome, he understands what is happening.

[scotty]

This is why Musk is a genius: basically what he has done here is set up an interview knowing that the BBC would try to do a hatchet job on him and then used this to expose the BBC for their misinformation and brainwashing while highlighting his point that freedom of speech is more important now than ever. Probably the best interview I've seen.

[hammerToken]

Elon speaking in pure plain English: “You just lied!” 💀 😂

[RICHtheLAWSON]

The interviewer was an absolute tool. NEVER and I mean NEVER go up against a genius without doing any homework. I'm a Brit and I'm ashamed of this reporter and the BBC.

[dogworldonline]

I was indifferent to Musk prior to the Twitter buy. Now I'm a HUGE Elon Musk fan. I like this guy.

[barryyoung]

This is where the BBC are at. They have gone from a trusted, respected, impartial organisation to this… Embarrassing

[Jedi]

thanks champ, I knew the BBC wouldn't release the full interview!

[mattallen]

The fact that the interviewer said he has not used twitter in 3 weeks before this interview says it all. If you're going to be interviewing the CEO of twitter about how its going since he took over, but you aren't going to use the platform/app 3 weeks prior to the interview is absurd!! I take my hat off to Elon, he came to the interview more prepared than this BBC clown and could have could have embarrassed the reporter even further but didn't. Elon is a true gentleman!

[thiagocastro]

Dishonesty can’t win honesty… this is why Elon won every second of this interview.

[geriburgener]

This journalist just got properly BBCd..

[johnnk]

In 10 years, Twitter will be making bank. And BBC will be crying about Capitalism. 😂😂😂

[BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

22:55 is the momemt that he questions the BBC about vaccine injury. Every major media outlet ignored this part, just as the interviewer ignored the question, but it's another step towards being able to have this conversation as a society.

[triluique]

16:05 Elon Musk: "Free speech is meaningless unless you allow people you don't like to say things you don't like. Otherwise it's irrelevant."

Hey kids, if you fail to get a job at McDonalds, you could always try modern-day journalism.

Years ago Musk had a dispute with the BBC about the way Top Gear represented the Tesla car used by Top Gear, it was quite damaging to Tesla. He accused them of outright lying. That is almost certainly what he was referring to in this interview but he did not actually mention it. I like Clarkson and Top Gear even if they did lie then. The fact Musk didn't mention it. He is a class act really.
It is strange that the BBC were given the chance to have an interview with a man who is achieving so much on a planetary level, he is really in the elite of people on the planet and they set the interview up to go this way? Such a waste opportunity for them.
