One thing that is actually *underappreciated* about Elon is his humility He's talking to a reporter who is, by her tone and framing of questions, clearly trying to chide and belittle him It’s not obvious that the richest man in the world would do any of this. She is clearly trying to provoke him iwth gotcha soundbites like "do you think about why people loathe you" "do you think what you're doing is good for western democracy" The tone is clearly "wouldn't you like to apologize for how evil and shameful you've been" He's taking minutes of his time (idk how to estimate their dollar value) to do submit to this He keeps responding calmly and genuinely stating what specifically he believes He is not flexing his own accomplishments, power, or knowledge as anything other than a regular person who refuses to be shamed into conformity He is clearly trying to engage with her rather on the content of things rather than just "win" The irony of all of her barbed questions and implied moral superiority is that despite every reason to be the opposite, Elon is actually **more humble** than she is.
