"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.
FYI, this is the actual transcript, not a meme.
Can they really be called spaceships if they never get to space?
Even worse - he named his space vessels 'Starship' - implying that they have the ability to travel between stars.
They will study this man's narcissism in future history classes alongside Trump. The era of the ego.
Even worse worse, he named prior projects after Culture ship names. Whose author despised him.
I mean by that definition, Voyager is a starship, eventually.
Voyager I and II are probes, not ships.
Technically they’re fireworks.
Steamships don't sail on steam, but they're called steamships anyway because they have steam in them. Elon Musk's spaceships don't use up every bit of volume contained within them, therefore they contain space.
Some do, some don't.
“Free speech absolutist”
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.
You know that you're in the right when you're ashamed to share your opinion publicly.
You're not wrong but we've already had enough fascists not feeling ashamed to air heinous ideas publicly in the US. Shame isn't a good, universal metric because some people don't feel it and will weaponize that.
He’s not ashamed, he’s scared of Trump.
Bootlick harder
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.
He isn't a government expert either, so why TF is he fucking with our government?
This Exchange happened because MUSK is a BIG STRONG MAN and NOT a Snowflake!
in that case: what happened to your face? Did you fall and hit your head on one of your spaceships?
If a billionaire you know is suffering from mysterious falls, it's important to let someone know so they can laugh at them too
Or lead him to an open window...
"So... about your spaceships. Would you allow foreign kids on them?"
Nazi coward gonna Nazi cower.
He's such a whiny bitch.
"Please stick to making me look good"
No. Well... No.
Guys let's try to keep the discussion about Rampart
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.
You can have any color you want as long as it is black.
I think you meant white....
All he knows about spaceships he learned from "The Dictator" movie.
White settlers from South Africa are refugees though.
Uhoh someliar hates being fact checked
Free speech advocate, or maybe he meant freeze peach?
