Episode Details

Elon Musk fired back at The Economist’s editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes, who criticized his outsized influence on European politics, arguing that his wealth and control of X give him dangerous sway. Musk countered that far more people despise journalists like her than him, citing his 250 million X followers and citing polls showing only 15% trust the media. While Beddoes blamed social media polarization for eroding trust, Musk insisted the media itself is the real problem — and that his views on safety, borders, and fiscal responsibility don’t make him right-wing, even as he actively promotes political figures across Europe.
