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. Enjoy.
Sadly he was clearly taken aback and not ready to debate the political questions.
He's so much more adept and comfortable when answering technical questions about rockets.
Given how difficult it must be to score an interview with him I'm surprised they didn't have some sort of agreement beforehand to give him a heads up about the line of questions to be asked.
He did debate the political questions, in so much as is possible. And he is very keen to convey the message that it is ludicrous how centrist opinions are now branded as right-wing, so I don't think he would have vetoed any political questions in advance if he had been asked.
