    “Do you think that foreign students might have materially contributed to the creation of your spaceships?”

          Elon getting up mid interview and walking away would be spectacular. That’s more damaging than “I don’t want to answer that”.

          Better than letting the shitstain get free advertising for his companies by conducting a non-critical interview about spaceships. The era where people thought of him as some kind of Tony Stark really should be over, and any journalists conducting interviews with that premise are just serving his cause.

          so you just dont ever ask any pressing questions? I see why your objective media coverage tumbled down a cliff in the recent months

            Months? Its always been like this. News media is a loss-maker, you dont get promoted if youre not an effective propagandist for the owners, you don’t get interviews with powerful figures if they dont expect it to benefit them. When the press core was informed, for the first time, that we had invaded Panama, their question weren’t “wtf what do you mean we just invaded a foreign country” or “how many civilians died”, it was “did any americans due”
