Elon Musk to BBC reporter: You are the ones spreading misinformation

bbc elon musk interview

Twitter owner Elon Musk is being praised on social media for his responses to a BBC reporter during an interview.

Twitter recently classified the BBC as “state-funded media”, which has sent the state-owned British left-wing giant into a tailspin.

In a recent interview with the BBC’s James Clayton, Musk announced that this label would be changed to “publicly funded media”, given that the BBC is funded through license fees.

Clayton began ranting about Elon Musk allowing things like “hate,” “racism” and “misinformation” about covid-19 to spread on the social media platform.

Then Musk came up with a counter question:

– Does the BBC take any responsibility for disinformation about side effects of vaccination? That you haven’t reported it at all? And do you know that the British government pressured the BBC to change its journalistic rules?

James Clayton then began to squirm and quickly changed the subject.

– This is not an interview about the BBC, he said.

The leftist journalist also complained that he had seen posts that were “quite racist” and “quite sexist” on Twitter. Elon Musk then asked if Clayton thought posts that are “quite sexist” should be censored. He also asked the journalist to provide a single example of such tweets, which Clayton, however, was unable to do.
