A journalist from NBC asked me for an interview about Elon Musk's comments about the UK. When I agreed, I discovered that he already had the narrative, he just wanted to make Elon (and me) look bad. Listen for yourself:

Indeed, I definitely do *not* want civil war, but pushing identity politics over national pride, as many governments are now doing, will make that inevitable imo

But he’s an expert! An academic at a university! Of course his preposterous claims will be pushed uncritically.

"So what you're saying is that Musk wants there to be civil war?"

"Generate an image from the transcript of this interview"

😂

Wow. This is insane

Journalistic integrity in much of the mainstream press has gone up in flames. They view themselves as activists first, journalists second.

They always have a narrative, especially since Elon bought Twitter. Like this classic Elon interview with the BBC👇

“You don’t seem like you’re coming at this from an angle of curiosity.” You nailed it. That’s the problem. Many of today’s journalists aren’t even curious anymore. They’ve already made up the story, and their objective is to weave quotes and sound bites into their own narrative.

I am glad you recorded this. People will catch a glimpse of what these low-calibre “gotcha” journalists are like. I have had similar run-ins with them in the past. Awful gutter press from outlets I used to respect, like The Times. The mainstream media agenda is becoming clear.
