I watched most of it.
He is a very strange man, dark.
Scary, he has too much money & power.
The following is from CNN Reliable Source.
Elon's Extremism: Elon Musk doubled down on his claim that George Soros "hates humanity" and "wants to erode the very fabric of civilization." The attack, which parrots anti-Semitic attacks Soros has faced for years, earned Musk a swift rebuke from the Anti-Defamation League. The head of the organization, Jonathan Greenblatt, blasted Musk for his rhetoric, calling it "dangerous" and saying that "it will embolden extremists." But Musk stood by the comments when confronted Tuesday evening by CNBC's David Faber. Musk said that it was his "opinion." When asked about the potential financial repercussions, Musk paused for 12 seconds before answering with an analogy from "The Princess Bride." He then added, "I'll say what I want to say and if the consequences of that are losing money, so be it."
Musk also claimed there was "no proof" the swastika-tattooed Texas shooter believed in white supremacy despite authorities having said that he posted neo-Nazi content. (Rolling Stone)
Musk accused Bellingcat of engaging in "psy-ops." Jake Tapper rebutted, "[Bellingcat] is a great journalistic organization. Conversely, Musk once linked to a deranged article about Paul Pelosi in the Santa Monica Observer, a nutjob website that claimed in 2016 that Hillary Clinton had died and had been replaced by a body double."

When asked about the legitimacy of the 2020 election, Musk affirmed Biden's win, but said "the answer is nuanced." (Daily Caller)
Of note: David Faber fielded some criticism for his handling of the interview, including from inside the tent. NBC News reporter Brandy Zadrozny, who covers misinfo, argued Faber should have more aggressively pushed back against Musk. (Twitter)
Do something positive.
