Elon Musk delivered one of the most talked-about moments from his recent interview by shutting down a claim from The Economist Editor-in-Chief Zanny Minton Beddoes that many people 'loathe' him, arguing instead that public distrust is directed more at the media.
The exchange, which Musk later posted on X, quickly went viral, with supporters applauding the billionaire's comeback while critics raised fresh concerns about his growing influence over politics and public debate.
