Yep, I thought it was satire but it really is Elon Musk getting interviewed by The Babylon Bee:

This might be the only tech billionaire who is not trying to take over the world and control all or wipe out a % of its residents.

Love his mean tweets of late

(Of Fauxcahontas Warren) "You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend's angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason" and called her "Senator Karen"

The Babylon Bee is really starting to take off as a good alterative news outlet and not just a parody site, the Left has started to notice too and has been working to shut them down on Facebook and other platforms lately as they HATE being mocked and can't take a friggen' joke. They also have a non-parody site called "Not The Bee" which is more like WTF type legit news and other content:

Not the Bee is your source for headlines that should be satire, but aren't

I enjoyed watching that and he moved up a few notches in my book.

Not the Bee sounds like something I would like, I will check it out.

That was a great interview. I think I was wrong about Elon. I’ve been watching a lot of his interviews and have to admit he is becoming one of the most interesting people on this planet in my eyes.

Good God, although at first glance I do love the content, there are just too many ads, and reloads of graphics that are different sizes, and video pop-up, and other things going on, that it makes viewing this site just painful. As much as I like it, it's a no go for me.

That Dutch attitude, straight to the point


Musk was recently a guest of podcast historian extraordinaire Dan Carlin, discussing his belief that engineering/technological advantages aren't found to be pivotal as they should in strategic warfare theories, ie. Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Mahan, etc... Not super insightful and I could pick some nits with some of his comments but, Musk seems to have a genuine interest in warfare as it pertains to technology, innovation and development. They spent quite a bit of time discussing WWII warbirds, didn't realize he's a certif. pilot.
