I haven't seen the interview, but if it's even remotely as bad as Snowden is saying it is, then oof.If you're a powerful and controversial figure as Musk is, it's not an interviewer's job to be nice to you
And, fuck Elon Musk, but a bad interview is a bad interview.
Progressives love Snowden and assange and demand pardons for both men because freedom of the press means they bare no responsibility for anything they leakMy dude, I'm as hard a leftist as you'll get around here and I loathe the both of them.
This was already known and as far as I understand it much of what he released were related to military operations and tactics. Which then allowed "unfriendly" nations to gain that intel without espionage.And whistleblowers should continue leaking that surveillance for decades until they stop.
The US Government has been tapping into civilians for decades upon decades.
And whistleblowers should continue leaking that surveillance for decades until they stop.Why would we want people leaking military intelligence and formations to potential foreign adversaries
Snowden has done so much self-aggrandizing of his actual role working for the government when it's clear that what he was mostly motivated by was ego. I think even if you think that he shone light on bad things, the hero narrative kind of falls out of wack when it ends up being more like "I was okay with all of this until people didn't treat me like the wunderkind I thought I was and so I found another way to get infamy".Was it his biopic that had the whole "okay he's releasing info but we need everyone to know he's a smurt guy so have him solving a Rubik's Cube with one hand" or some shit?
Why would we want people leaking military intelligence and formations to potential foreign adversariesBecause the populace should know about their governments infringing on civil liberties.
Snowden wasnt just a well intentioned hero looking out for the good of the american people when he leaked everything.
Because the populace should know about their governments infringing on civil liberties.You're just straight up refusing to think beyond the most elementary take possible, eh?
Because the populace should know about their governments infringing on civil liberties.

And whistleblowers should continue leaking that surveillance for decades until they stop.Lol okay child
It was apparently his idea to have the scene where he walks out of the building with a USB drive to have it hidden inside a Rubik's Cube that he wows the security guard with or w/e.That's substantially more pathetic.
Motherfuckers acting like they didnt know about the Patriot Act 1 & 2Or fucking COINTELPRO.
it's not an interviewer's job to be nice to youBut it is their *job* to do what their employer tells them to do.
But it is their *job* to do what their employer tells them to do.>Elon claims to be free speech crusader
We can't talk about an interviewer's or a reporter's conduct outside of their job until they belong to a standards organization with guidelines focused only on journalism [as their profession].
