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.

There is a concerted effort by some in the media to constantly take my comments out of context.
Yesterday, Gary Hardgrave gave me the opportunity to have a thorough discussion on a variety of topics which included the scourge of domestic violence.
To Gary's credit, he aired the whole interview live on radio stations across Queensland.
The whole interview was put on the 4BC website for everyone to hear, including journalists.
But some within rival media decided to use only a few quotes and made out that I downplayed domestic violence. That's untrue, hence why it's important that people hear the whole interview.
I understand that not all journalists share One Nation's political views. But as a journalist, you're there to report the facts and allow readers to make their own minds up on whether they do support One Nation policies and views.
The demise of journalistic integrity is what's killing trust and revenue at many of these newspapers and free to air networks. Together with AI, this is why the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age have cut another 30 jobs over the last 24hrs.
I'm growing less tolerant of many journalists within the MSM and so too are the public.
Here's the full segment where Gary and I discussed the topic of domestic violence on his radio program.

This baby has the same treatable condition that the male couple in Canada wanted their surrogate to abort. They are now suing her after she refused. A simple surgery post-birth can fix this defect. The surrogate mother showed heroic love.
“If Jesus was God, why did He cry?”
When I was Muslim, I used to smirk at the shortest verse in the Bible. A crying God? Weak.
“Jesus wept.” John 11:35. Two words. It should bring you to your knees.
Then I actually read WHERE He’s standing.
At the tomb of His friend Lazarus. And here’s the part that undoes me: He’s about to raise him. In sixty seconds He’ll shout that dead man back to life. The victory is already loaded.
And He weeps ANYWAY.
He didn’t have to. The happy ending was already in His hand.
But He looked at the grief around Him — the sisters, the mourners, the sheer wreckage that death makes of everything — and He entered it. He let it hit Him. God, with tears running down His face, at the graveside of someone He loved.
The God of Islam was too majestic to weep. I was proud of that. Until I met a God who was strong enough to.
“We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses.” Hebrews 4:15.
Whatever you’re burying right now — He’s not watching from a safe distance.
He’s the God who weeps at gravesides.
And then empties them.
Now you and me get to rejoice forever with our Lord Jesus Christ.
@CharlesShamp The guy not only tried to hit him first, he also told the pastor that he was going to rape and murder his family as soon as he left town.
I fully agree with the support for the children of Israel, as for the rest, I'll quote Grok:
"Historians (Catholic, Protestant, and secular) generally agree there was no sudden "invention" of the papacy in 384 AD with Siricius. The office evolved gradually from the bishopric of Rome, rooted in 1st-century traditions."
