This one will go down in the history books. I've seen some criticism of Zanny Minton Beddoes' questioning, which I don't totally agree with since she asked some valid questions and had done more research than I think she was given credit for. I also think Elon could have done a better job clarifying certain positions about 'civil war' in some western nations, and solidifying the notion that the left have shifted so far left that what was center is now deemed to be right wing. But overall it should prove to be highly informative for many people.
