Elon Musk is no stranger to controversial claims. His political views, disseminated to his 240m followers on X, strike many as plain-speaking and strike many more as plainly bigoted. In an interview with The Economist, editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes challenges some of Musk’s more outlandish claims, including that civil war in Britain is “inevitable”. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO also responds to allegations that he’s racist and a supporter of the far right.
You can watch the full interview from 6pm London time (1pm in New York), via the Economist’s website.
