NEWS: Elon Musk rejects the far right label in an exchange with The Economist
"I support the normal people. What you call the far right, falsely."
He challenged the interviewer to say what is extreme about 3 positions.
"Here are the principles and tell me which of these sound terrible. That we should have secure borders, that we should have safe cities, that we should have sensible spending. Which of those three are far right fringe?"
Elon then turned on the framing itself.
"I would like to just admonish you and the media for the absurd characterization of the far right. It is false and misleading and nonsense."
He asked that the exchange survive the edit. "Please keep this part in."
Elon said the same speeches get judged by who delivered them, describing a habit of reading Obama and Clinton speeches to people and telling them Trump said it. He named Rupert Lowe as an example of who he means by normal people.

Sophie Cunningham responds to criticism over her recent comments to ESPN about wanting to protect women's sports from "biological men."
"I said what I said. I think it's kind of common sense.
When it comes just to protecting young girls in sport and women in sport, I feel very strongly about that. That's why you have Title IX.
That's why you have some of the greats in women's sports. If Title IX women's sports weren't protected, then you wouldn't hear about any type of women in sport.
I have never once said that I hated the trans community."
In her interview with ESPN, Cunningham had said:
"I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."
@elonmusk This is the speech of the year. Hands down.
America is so beautiful, and we are beautiful because we are built on laws that reject communism! 🇺🇸

⚠️ Pastor Tony Spell was changing a church bus battery when his neighbor's son screamed threats to rape his wife, rape his grandchildren, and kill his family while he was away.
He had reported them to police. Nothing was done.
So he crossed the highway himself.
5 stitches for the neighbor. Handcuffs for the Pastor. Zero charges for the man who made the threats.
Every husband and father watching this knows exactly what was running through his mind. 🇺🇸
