During the Bloomberg Qatar Economic Forum, Elon Musk exhibited childish behavior while being interviewed by Mishal Husain. His responses to serious questions about Tesla and SpaceX were unprepared and defensive, leading him to label Husain an 'NPC.' Critics argue that Musk's behavior reflects a disconnect from reality, exacerbated by his tendency to surround himself with those who seldom challenge him. This interview underscores the billionaire's increasing struggles under pressure and the impact of his controversial political views on his popularity.
After Husain pointed out DOGE has fallen extremely short of Musk's goal of slashing $2 trillion from the government's budget, Musk had a bizarre retort. "I mean, I feel you're somewhat trapped in the NPC dialogue tree of a traditional journalist..."
Musk appeared to be completely unprepared. At multiple points during the interview, Musk lashed out at Husain, accusing her of being an "NPC," refusing to give her more than one-word answers.
Critics have long pointed out that the billionaire has surrounded himself with sycophants who rarely say no to him, meaning that he's increasingly started to crumble under pressure.
Musk finds himself on a troubling path, having embraced far-right viewpoints while his popularity has fallen off a cliff in recent years.
