Musk also opined on woke culture – calling it a “mind virus,” and “arguably one of the biggest threats to modern civilization.”
“Wokeness wants to make comedy illegal,” Musk continued, adding “Do we want a humorless society that is simply rife with condemnation, and hate? At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be cruel, armored in false virtue.”
When asked why Musk wasn’t appearing on, say, CNN, he replied: “I’m not perverted enough?” perhaps referencing their recent pedo outbreak.
Bee CEO Seth Dillon asked Musk if he gets sick of people badgering him about his wealth, to which he said that until he sold stock, he maintained relatively little cash balances – and that he happens to own 20% of a company that people decided was worth a trillion dollars.
He also defended ‘not paying taxes,’ explaining that in 2017 he overpaid, which netted out in 2018, and that since the majority of his wealth is in stock anyway that he wasn’t incurring taxable events.
“What am I supposed to do, send shares to the government, somehow?” said Musk.
Didn’t listen to Elon Musk before this interview. Of course, I’ve read his tweets. His voice is quite mellifluous. He is quite engaging.
One reply on “Babylon Bee Interview of Elon Musk”
I don’t agree with absolutely everything Elon Musk has to say, but I have to admit that lately he has been quite entertaining, (not to mention, rational)!
