Nick Delehanty 🇮🇪(@Nick_Delehanty):Great interview: Elon Musk gets properly challenged by The Economist. “Do you support the far right?” “Are you anti-Muslim?” “People say that you’re a racist.” Musk: “Secure borders. Safe cities. Sensible spending. Which of those three are far-right or fringe?” fascinating and heated exchange. Credit to Zanny Minton Beddoes: she lets Musk make his argument & then challenges him directly. More of these are needed, especially in Ireland. Who would you like to see debate?
