[Baggers]

Baggers, given the topic is “the mere sight and/or sound of the following people just grinds my gears”, you already know I have no desire to listen to any podcast interview with him. That said, I’d be happy to read any insights you distilled from it.

I didn't automatically assume that you had no interest in listening to a podcast with Musk due to the thread title. Maybe you wanted to know more about what makes him tick? As I did. I find that listening to or watching interviews with people I don't particularly care for, to be at times enlightening.

From the two and a half hours of the Musk interview I gleaned a few interesting insights re his passion for family, what moved him to tears (he teared up during the interview), what motivates his IT passions and what he was intolerant of. I found some of what I watched contrary to his appalling attitude toward staff at Twitter, as recently reported. And letting Trump's account being re-activated was disappointing and indicative. By the end of the interview I found him complex, contradictory and on a personal level, I didn't much care for him - seemed completely devoid of compassion, self-absorbed and with a curious Saviour Complex on display.
