‘Utterly pathetic’: Douglas Murray slams BBC interview with Elon Musk

An interview between billionaire Elon Musk and a BBC reporter was “utterly pathetic” and embarrassing despite the broadcaster having some of the best interviewers in the world, says Author Douglas Murray.

“He seemed to have no facts at his fingertips,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“If you’re going to interview the world’s richest man, or one of the most interesting people on the planet who’s doing some of the most fascinating and ground-breaking work of anyone on planet Earth, you ought to go in with more than; ‘oh I’ve heard about hatey, hatey, words,’

“This is just an example of the way in which sections of the mainstream media adopt a narrative, stick with it, even in the face of the facts.”
