It seems like you already made up your mind that Elon is bad and Don is good based on how you're talking.

Even Elon said Don wasn't being cordial during the interview. That's how bad it was.

He is a DISHONEST interviewer. Saying evidence doesn't exist when Elon told him to go look on X. Don acted like the evidence they posted is nonsense when he hadn't even seen it. He is one of the most dishonest reporters.

He was just being a complete jerk during the whole interview. You can really see that Don has a big chip on his shoulder and he's not professional at all. It was a deposition, not an interview. Its ok to ask tough questions, but its not okay to be a complete jerk like he has always been.

Just look at what Donny tries to do when he talks about some of Musk's late night posts on X. Asking him if he's on drugs and trying to make it seem like he's using a street drug ketamine even though he has a prescription for it and its started to be used more and more for depression. This is purely dishonest when Don knows doctors prescribe ketamine and to people and its not just a street drug.

Don was also being a jerk about the hate speech that is actually on all platforms. Musk actually is doing something about it, but Don makes it seem the opposite. How come he doesn't talk to Zuckerberg the same way when his platform also has hate speech and more drugs that silk road had.

Don said he doesn't believe Elon's information which is simple math that Elon has done before the interview which once again Don is lying because he didn't do the calculation himself and he has ZERO evidence to dispute it. Elon is right here and Don is once again lying.

Saying Elon said stuff he didn't several times. Don applies a different standard to X and that's being dishonest. Saying X promoted hate speech over and over which was another lie. Don LIES about the rules on X and the content policy. Don lies about not wanting censorship. Saying he believes in free speech as much as Musk? Another lie.

Don said over and over that the standards haven't been lowered for DEI and that's a lie. He says there is no evidence of lowered standards and Elon actually gave him an example and Don continuously lies and said there is no evidence. Don also raised his voice. Then he goes on to say "Don't you think its your responsibility to make sure what you post is right?" when Don is posting this and he's lying and there is evidence against what he's saying and he doesn't even want to see it because he's a liar.

Don is laughing and acting like a fool when he actually knows what Elon is saying about lowering the standards for doctors will cause more people to die.

Don lies and says comments with evidence don't mean anything even though he knows people will cite studies. But Don is trying to push the imagine that his lie is the truth and evidence and studies that go against his lies aren't true. What a scumbag. He's 100% anti truth and he just wants to lie.

There's tons of others

Also: > Don also raised his voice

Oh, no! How could he?!

I’ve long thought that it would be useful, or at least extremely funny, for Jeremy Paxman to spend a bit of time in the US; it would be fascinating to see how the likes of Trump and Musk would cope with an actual adversarial interview. They’d probably _melt_; US interviewers are extremely deferential to the rich and powerful by contrast.

Don't have a valid reply so you have to say something stupid?

Apparently you don't know what professionalism is and an interviewer should never raise his/her voice.

An interviewer can absolutely raise their voice with an uncooperative subject, at least around here.

(The US does tend to habitually treat rich and important people with kid gloves in interviews, and this is unfortunate.)
