good job by Elon in eliciting an example of one of the many problems with "journalism" these days… the journalist asks a question designed to be controversial, without having a proper basis. simply regurgitates something someone else alleges as a basis. it's called laziness and gossip.
however, it would have been nice to pin him on the issue of what the definition of "hateful" is. Elon went down that road but then pivoted.
either way, good on him.
