Vladimir Putin said there is 'no stopping' X-owner, Tesla founder and Neuralink-creator Elon Musk as he gushed over the 'smart' tech mogul. The Russian leader heaped praise on Musk during a sit-down with Tucker Carlson
Far from being a great meeting of minds between Kremlin leader and Kremlin lover, it looked as if Carlson, whose pain was turning to panic as he realized he couldn’t stop Putin pontificating, had been taken hostage by a lugubrious and deranged Russian uncle, forced to listen for ever to his ramblings.
Even more remarkable than the lies Putin was allowed to tell unchallenged, were the questions Carlson didn’t ask. Nothing about Russia’s barbaric war crimes in Ukraine, the forced removal of thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia.
It was if Carlson had interviewed Hitler in 1944 and not bothered to ask about the concentration camps.
The interview was also illuminating in ways it did not intend. It confirmed that President Putin is scarily isolated, mad, bad and dangerous, living increasingly in an ethno-nationalist Russian world of his own. As for his interrogator, once the doyenne of the Fox News prime-time line-up until, he was unceremoniously sacked last April, since when, bereft of even Fox’s loose editorial standards, he has retreated to the outer limits of conspiracy theory madness. Now, steamrollered by an aging autocrat, Tucker Carlson has been confirmed as a fool given a platform by Elon Musk, whom, according to the Wall Street Journal is fast becoming a drug addict. Nice Going MAGA!
