'I Don't Care!' Elon Musk destroys CNBC reporter in live interview

Since becoming the CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk has faced a multitude of criticisms from left-wing activists who believe his own tweets, or simply the tweets he allows on Twitter, are problematic.

But he doesn’t care.

This was made extremely clear in a live interview on CNBC. Musk sat down with one of CNBC's reporters and did not hold back.

“You know, do your tweets hurt the company? Are there Tesla owners who say, ‘I don’t agree with his political position.’?” the reporter asked, saying these hypothetical Tesla owners would know so much about his political position “because he shares so much of it.”

“Or,” the reporter continued, “are there advertisers on Twitter that Linda Ocarina will come and say, ‘You gotta stop man,’ or you know, ‘I can’t get these ads because of some of the things you tweet’?”

Elon at first responded with silence, pausing for what seemed to be an extremely tense moment.

He then broke his long silence by bringing up a scene from the film "The Princess Bride."

It’s the scene “where [Inigo Montoya] confronts the person who killed his father. He says, ‘Offer me money, offer me power, I don’t care,’” Elon said.

The reporter was a little taken aback, responding, “So, you just don’t care. You want to share what you have to say.”

“I’ll say what I want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it,” Elon said firmly.

Dave Rubin comments on the interview, impressed by Elon’s unwavering position on the matter.

“If he was woke, if he was a woke leftist like most of the CEOs are or at least pretend to be, he would never be getting asked this question, right?" Rubin asks.

“So, if he was for chopping kids' genitals off, if he was for teaching neo-racism in schools,” he continues, “that wouldn’t be thought of as controversial and there would be no need for a CNBC host to ask him those things.”

Rubin believes Musk is “widening the lane that we can speak of things in, and that is pretty good.”
