"Do you think that foreign students might have materially contributed to the creation of your spaceships?"
You know that you're in the right when you're ashamed to share your opinion publicly.
You're not wrong but we've already had enough fascists not feeling ashamed to air heinous ideas publicly in the US. Shame isn't a good, universal metric because some people don't feel it and will weaponize that.
He’s not ashamed, he’s scared of Trump.
“Free speech absolutist”
To be fair, free speech should include the freedom not to speak.
Musk isn't playing fair though.
He should fucking exercise it more
I agree he doesn't have to answer, but if you're supposed to be REALLY into free speech which largely means freedom of the press, you probably wouldn't be into giving the press huge stipulations on what questions they are allowed to ask or not.
I plead the fifth.
I want to thank the OP for not showing felons disgusting pig face in the meme
This Exchange happened because MUSK is a BIG STRONG MAN and NOT a Snowflake!
in that case: what happened to your face? Did you fall and hit your head on one of your spaceships?
If a billionaire you know is suffering from mysterious falls, it's important to let someone know so they can laugh at them too
Or lead him to an open window...
Was your torso mutated by some kind of space rays?
He's such a whiny bitch.
FYI, this is the actual transcript, not a meme.
"Please stick to making me look good"
No. Well... No.
Nah, he's not hot enough. Plus the nazi vibe really doesn't help
You can have any color you want as long as it is black.
I think you meant white....
Stainless steel?
I can't believe im saying this but even Ford was accidentally a better person than Musk.
They're correct. But neither is he a space or engineering expert, so maybe we should just ignore his opinions on those things entirely as well.
They are wrong that none of his "endeavors" deal with immigration.
I actually disagree, Elon has been a high profile, staunch supporter of the Republicans and Trump for a while now and was at a high level position with a lot of influence on the government (head of DOGE), and still has significant influence on Republicans, I think it's only natural to ask someone like that their opinions on government policy.
He isn't a government expert either, so why TF is he fucking with our government?
Fucking Elmo stans are such unbelievable losers it's not even funny.
Gonna laugh my ass off when they lose everything after Tesla stock finally pops.
"So... about your spaceships. Would you allow foreign kids on them?"
“If they pay me 10 million dollars, sure.”
Guys let's try to keep the discussion about Rampart
Nazi coward gonna Nazi cower.
This was somewhat gutsy of the reporter to ask, but when Elmo dodged like that he should have said, "Well I guess that's the interview over. We'll just air this clip and get about 10 million views. Should pay for our time here nicely." And then left the Nazi prick to sit and stew in his own shit.
Uhoh someliar hates being fact checked
All he knows about spaceships he learned from "The Dictator" movie.
He should have watched "The Great Dictator".
He did. He thought the Nazis getting hit on the head with frying pans in a Jewish ghetto were being unfairly attacked.
The NSFW one or the original?
White settlers from South Africa are refugees though.
Free speech advocate, or maybe he meant freeze peach?
Of course the Nazi prick is gonna dodge the question.
Even Elon doesn't want tariffs.
And unlimited immigration.... And by unlimited he means unlimited H1B
Perhaps he wants H1B pencils
Can they really be called spaceships if they never get to space?
Even worse - he named his space vessels 'Starship' - implying that they have the ability to travel between stars.
They will study this man's narcissism in future history classes alongside Trump. The era of the ego.
Even worse worse, he named prior projects after Culture ship names. Whose author despised him.
I mean by that definition, Voyager is a starship, eventually.
People going to space are called astronauts - in this context I see no problem with Starship.
I can't find the article now, but there was a news article that talked about "interstellar missions to mars", and it drove me nuts
technically, travelling on earth (or anywhere else in the universe), is travelling between stars, because we're likely to be between 2.
Narcissists are pure evil and deserve to be slaughtered in gas chambers
Technically they’re fireworks.
Steamships don't sail on steam, but they're called steamships anyway because they have steam in them. Elon Musk's spaceships don't use up every bit of volume contained within them, therefore they contain space.
Don't steam ships use steam engines? (Or at least did historically?)
Some do, some don't.
Half&half
The last one got into space ...and then caught on fire.
Which is impressive, as fire usually needs excess oxygen available.
I call them improvised explosive devices.
And every explosion is absolutely devastating the environment. As well as making the town nearby a hell on earth. Not the only town he's destroying with his toxic businesses either.
They get to space, they just don’t stay in space. Like every vehicle meant to be crewed by humans.
Cybertrucks are spaceships, because they take up space.
ok, but even a slight rain destroys them, they can't be ships
