…fricken awesome.

The interview was 90 minutes long, but here are the really cool highlights.

First, Clayton asserted that he had "personally" noticed a rise in hateful content on Twitter since Musk's takeover.
When Musk pressed him for an example of such "hateful" content, Clayton demurred and spoke generally about comments that could be considered "slightly racist or slightly sexist."
When Musk then asked for a specific example of hate speech that should be censored on Twitter, Clayton came up empty.

"I don't actually use that feed any more because I don't particularly like it," Clayton stammered.

"You said you've seen more hateful content, but you can't name a single example, not even one," Musk countered.

Clayton continued to avoid giving an example, but Musk would not let him off the hook. "Then I say, sir, that you don't know what you're talking about," Musk stated, adding that the premise of a rise in hate speech was "false."

"You just lied!" Musk claimed.

Clayton denied the allegation and insisted that other "organizations" had reported a rise in hateful tweets in recent months. When Musk continued to demand an example, a seemingly exasperated Clayton claimed that they weren't "getting anywhere" and suggested they just "move on."

Clayton then wanted to talk about Twitter removing warnings about possible misinformation about COVID, but Musk fired back immediately: "Has BBC changed its COVID misinformation?"

After a brief silence, Clayton retorted that the "BBC does not set the rules upon Twitter, so I'm asking you," but Musk refused to restrict his answers to fit Clayton's framing.

"COVID is no longer an issue," Musk noted before accusing the BBC of peddling misinformation about the COVID policies related to masking and the vaccines.

"Does the BBC hold itself at all responsible for misinformation regarding masking and side effects of vaccinations and not reporting on that at all?" Musk asked.

When Clayton made no reply, Musk pressed on: "And what about the fact that the BBC was put under pressure by the British government to change [its] editorial policy?"

Clayton then responded hesitatingly, "This isn't an interview about the BBC," to which Musk immediately quipped, "Oh, you thought it wasn't?" Clayton then reacted with a nervous chuckle and a disclaimer that he was not an official "representative of the BBC's editorial policy."

"Let's talk about something else," Clayton once again pivoted, while Musk remarked slyly, "You weren't expecting that."

That four-minute exchange from their larger, 90-minute interview can be heard in the tweet below.

To them, just mentioning black people is racist. I could say that 10 blacks were killed in Chicago last weekend and they'd consider that racist in spite of it's accuracy.

That BBC interviewer represents about 90% of the lying scumbags in the media. I saw part of the interview on BBC news and the whole interview is archived there.

I'm no Musk fan but what these dumbasses forget is that Elon Musk is on a whole different level of intelligence. There's probably only 10 people on this earth that are as intelligent as Musk, Musk makes Eisenstein look like he rode the short bus...............

I bet he meant Sergei Eisenstein. Soviet film maker and propagandist. Battleship Potemkin, Alexander Nevsky, etc. He believed (REALLY believed) in Soviet communism, so probably did ride the short bus. Albert Einstein, however, doesn’t really take a backseat to anyone in the intelligence department and definitely did not ride the short bus.
