Twitter CEO Elon Musk sent an email to the host of "Larry King Live" calling him a 'thick skinned' idiot. The two had been trading emails and tweets about Twitter's new rules for public space on social media. Larry says he wrote back, saying it was his right to say what he wanted but didn't get a response. He thinks that since SpaceX is in trouble with government officials, they should be paid more by Tesla.
Today we're sharing an episode of On with Kara Swisher - her other favorite podcat.
Elon Musk is a puzzle, but if there’s anyone who can make sense of him it’s Kara Swisher. She’s covered him since the late 90s – back in her early days as a beat reporter at the Wall Street Journal and she’s had many in-depth interviews and exchanges with the tech titan since, perhaps more than any other reporter. She’s also covered Elon’s latest fiefdom, Twitter, before it even was Twitter. So today we turn the tables, and Kara Swisher is “On” with Nayeema Raza.
We’ll unpack how Elon became Elon, why Kara came to believe he was one of the greatest visionaries in Silicon Valley, when exactly she soured on him — and why she still holds out some hope.
You can find Kara and Nayeema on Twitter @karaswisher and @nayeema.
