My partner is… she’s half Indian, and my… and I have four children with her. One of them was named after a famous Indian physicist. So I would say I’m not racist,”

From the guy that Sieg Heiled multiple times on stage and consistently backed multiple fascists comes the classic "I'm not racist, I have black friends" defense!

Not to be too on the nose but slave owners had black children.

Pernicious maladroit continues acting as a pernicious maladroit. Film at 11.

The article doesn't have a single "gotcha" moment I can pull from. It's more of a series of questions and Elan's rambling and irrational responses, but the interviewer doesn't back down and asks follow-up questions that highlight just how ridiculous Mursk's responses are. The concluding paragraph sums it up nicely though:

It’s kind of the perfect moment. Musk throws out some meaningless gotcha and then asks why the media isn’t talking about something that he’s become hyperfocused on. In his ignorance, he demonstrates they actually are writing about the thing he cares about. And he just looks like an idiot.

OMG, she lobbed him a softball and he still couldn't not be a piece of shit.

"Are you anti-muslim?"

Verbal gymnastics follows, because he is, and won't even lie about it.

Ok, so the brain damaged billionaire is somehow perceiving UBI as something positive, while wailing against socialism, and not understanding the literature Grok chewed him up. Also, he doesn't know shit about the media he is meeting regarding HVAC, and he behaves like a wounded animal when someone with a backbone shows up the discrepancies in the crap he's spewing.

can someone with a brain please get us rid from this wart on the ass of humanity?

Man who built his own bubble worried about structural integrity when other people say things near it.
