Elon Musk và biên tập viên The Economist tranh cãi trong cuộc phỏng vấn: 'Nhiều người ghét bạn,' 'Còn nhiều hơn nữa không thích bạn'

The ME News report states that on July 26 (UTC+8), a video of Musk’s interview with The Economist was released on July 23. In the video, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, Bédos, accused Musk of being out of touch and abusing his influence to spread false panic and far-right rhetoric about Europe. “You described to me extraordinary, civilization-altering events that will unfold over the next decade. Yet you are also a persistent participant in the worst tribalist cesspool of social media.” In response to Bédos’s sharp criticism, Musk said, “My partner (Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis) is half-Indian, and we have four children together. One of our children is named after a renowned Indian physicist. So I don’t consider myself a racist. Moreover, if you look at the employees at my companies, you’ll find our executives come from all racial backgrounds. I don’t believe there is any racial discrimination there.” During the interview, Musk warned Bédos that the media, represented by The Economist, falsely and misleadingly labels so-called “far-right” views. Bédos countered by pointing out that Musk claimed “civil war in the UK is only a matter of time,” but this is untrue: “The UK’s domestic security situation is better than that of any city in the United States.” Finally, Bédos bluntly told Musk, “You’re out of touch, and many people despise you.” Musk replied, “I don’t care—I have 250 million followers. I believe far more people like me than dislike me. And I think far more people despise you and the media than you imagine.” (Source: BlockBeats)
