The interview has made news on those subjects and more. The conversation occasionally flags, especially in the second half, but Musk himself is interesting and I thought my patience was rewarded. If you stick with it to the end, you will find that he may be a good candidate for Steve Hayward’s Three Whisky Happy Hour podcast.
Quotable quote (referring to Elizabeth Warren at about 16:00): “If you could die by irony she’d be dead.”
Musk’s parting thought: “The woke mind virus is a world without humor.”
