(Not The Bee) Elon Musk’s interview with Tucker last night was must-see TV. The real-lie Tony Stark sounded off on Twitter, AI, censorship, Democrats, Big Tech, wokeness, and civilizational destruction.
I’ve whittled the interview down to the 6 must important exchanges for you, which are embedded below. Enjoy.
1.) Elon bodies Zuckerberg:
Elon: “My understanding is that Zuckerberg spent $400 million in the last election nominally in a get out the vote campaign but fundamentally in support of Democrats… Does that sound unbiased to you?” pic.twitter.com/uE2X6PQZef

2.) Elon runs Twitter on 20% of the staff it had before he bought it because he’s “not trying to run some glorified activist organization”:
Tucker: “So 80% [of Twitter staff] left [when you took over]. How do you run it with only 20% of the staff?
Elon: “It turns out you don’t need that many people to run Twitter.”
Tucker: “But that’s a lot.”

3.) Elon plans to start a “third option” as a counterweight to Microsoft and Google’s woke AI systems that lie in the name of political correctness:

4.) The U.S. government had full access to Twitter users’ information and private DMs before Elon bought the company:
Tucker Carlson: “You were shocked to find out that various intel agencies were affecting [Twitter’s] operations?” @elonmusk: “The degree to which various Government Agencies had effectively full access to everything that was going on on Twitter blew my mind.” pic.twitter.com/l6KBQI3Vd9
