He has shut down other interviews too. Its clear all he wants is people who kiss his ass and tell him his smart he is.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

like so many others...
called it!
Every one of these people in Trump's cabinet is a pussy.
fElon isn't in his cabinet. That's kinda one of the many Constitutional Crises that are playing out in real time.
We know fElon is a coward. Always has been.
What a shock. Jon wouldn't hold back punches, and Musk knows that. Musk only goes on Podcasts where the host's opinions change depending on the guest.
For me the weirdest moment was when Joe Rogan - before the election - said that Musk "saved us". Not "is going to save us", already saved us.
Drumpf also alluded to "he's got the best coders, it's just one line of code," fElon will hand us the win! Before the election.
fElon also said before the election, "If he [Drumpf] doesn't win, I'm probably going to prison," [sic] alongside President Elect Drumpf
There's also a huge huge risk of speaking with a master debater (yw). Smart people are everywhere. People who are genuinely good at debating are terrifying to argue with. It's a rabid animal except they have facts and logic and easy to understand, well structured arguments. It's infuriating.
Wish my school has offered debate.
Musk demands unedited interviews but can't handle unfiltered criticism—irony at its finest.
😺😺😺😺
Im so shocked
Musk is a bitch with a big ol pussy
Is anyone surprised? Elon is dumb, but he's knows better than to go up against Jon.
I knew he was going to pussy out. Conservatives who are routinely in the public eye can't survive outside of their safe spaces. That's why Republican politicians are cancelling their town halls. They can't handle anything other than a gentle interview on FOX or OAN with the questions sent to them ahead of time so they can get their answers from the heritage foundation.
the right suddenly stopped talking about masculinity is jaw-dropping
It's insulting to president musk and his fat, gross lap dog.
What else would a coward do?
He couldn't even follow through on his fight with clothing store mannequin Mark Fuckerberg.
Even though he's just 5'7" and 155 lbs, I don't think I'd want to take Zuckerberg on.
I've got half a foot and a hundred pounds on him, I would jump at the opportunity.
I don't even know you but I'd jump at the opportunity to watch that
Eh, I don't think he's been upgraded to the liquid metal version yet so you'd probably be OK.
And nobody is surprised even slightly.
All talk. No substance. Like all of MAGA. Just a bunch of J@cka$$e$ 🙄
Hey Elon!
Typical far-right behavior. They stay in their safe spaces and pay to artificialy amplify their unpopular messages.
What was it, like a quarter of all the accounts on Facebook and Twitter are just AI chat bots trying to get people to engage?
Lol a quarter? I doubt even the real ones comprise a quarter.
Fuckin' weenie.
Figured Elon would wait until the day off to back out, not immediately after Jon announced it was on
I don't think that man wants to be in a room with someone smarter than him on live TV
someone smarter than him
...and that's a LOT of the population.
Which is why he entirely avoids live TV. Elon is at best an idiot savant. And I'd put emphasis on idiot.
He Mr Magoon'd his way to being the wealthiest man in the word
I'm shocked. Right up there with his cage fight with Zuck. He can't handle pressure. He got booed at Chappelle's standup show, and reportedly locked himself in his office to the point where people had to check on him and were worried he was self harming. He's fucking 10 ply.
He got booed at Chappelle’s standup show
Even as much of a hot mess as Chapelle has become, I assume that Musk had to pay him to come onstage with him. I wonder how much it was.
He’s fucking 10 ply.
Okay, I almost did a literal spit-take when reading that. I had just taken a sip of coffee.
Well done. 🤣
He's spare parts.
Geez, Elon self-harming? What's not to like?
He's too weak to make a proper job of it.

Did his mom tell him no? Like with the Zuckerberg fight?
I’m sure he’ll be on Joe rogan again getting verbally fellated and reassured that he dodged a bullet not going on the violent left wing propaganda deep state media show
Him "smoking" the spliff on that show was the epitome of a "pick-me".
