Elon Musk leaves BBC reporter stunned after he turns the tables, puts reporter on hot seat in wild interview: 'You just lied!'

Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, recently sat down for an interview with BBC reporter Stephen Sackur, but it didn’t go as expected. At one point during the interview, Musk turned the tables on Sackur and put him on the hot seat when he accused him of lying.

The interview started out with Sackur asking Musk about his recent tweet claiming that he had sold all of his mansions and owned no house. Musk confirmed the tweet but added that he owned a house bought for his family in the Bay Area, which prompted Sackur to question Musk’s honesty. This led to a heated exchange between the two, with Musk accusing Sackur of lying and saying that he had not done his research properly.

Musk went on to defend his position on various topics, including his recent cryptocurrency ventures, the safety of his Tesla vehicles, and his plans for SpaceX. He also discussed how he dealt with criticism and the pressure of his work, and shared some personal insights into his life.

While this interview was certainly not a typical exchange between a journalist and a subject, it is a reminder of the importance of researching and preparing for an interview, both for the interviewer and the interviewee. It also highlights how easily tension can arise when discussing controversial topics. Ultimately, it is important to approach these conversations with an open mind and a willingness to listen and learn from each other.
