Billionaire and Twitter owner Elon Musk<\/a> blasted a BBC reporter during an interview Tuesday, forcing him to admit he had no specific examples of hate speech he claimed he had seen proliferating on the platform since Musk bought it last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the “hastily arranged, unexpected” interview between Musk and BBC reporter James Clayton, as the British outlet described it, the two had a tense exchange about the rise of hate speech on the platform.<\/p>\n

After Clayton brought up the subject \u2013 echoing criticisms from various mainstream media outlets that Musk\u2019s Twitter has allowed hate speech to flourish \u2013 the world\u2019s richest man demanded the reporter give him one example of hate speech he had personally seen on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Shockingly, Clayton had no examples prepared, and Musk grilled him for it.<\/p>\n

Musk began picking Clayton apart by asking him to “describe a hateful thing” he’s seen on Twitter, to which the journalist replied, “You know, just content that will solicit a reaction, something that may include something is slightly racist, or slightly sexist \u2013 those kinds of things.”<\/p>\n

Musk then asked, “So you think if something is slightly sexist it should be banned? Is that what you\u2019re saying?” Clayton replied, “No, I\u2019m not saying anything.”<\/p>\n

He mentioned that, at the very least, his Twitter “feed” has “got slightly more” hate speech<\/a> on it than prior to Musk owning the platform.<\/p>\n

Pressing him on it, Musk asked, “Can you name one example?” A flustered Clayton admitted, “Honestly, I don\u2019t \u2013 I don\u2019t \u2026” At this point, Musk became amused and asked, “You can\u2019t name a single example?”<\/p>\n

The reporter provided an excuse to justify not being able to back up his claims. “I\u2019ll tell you why,” he said, adding, “because I don\u2019t actually use that \u2018For You\u2019 feed anymore because I don\u2019t particularly like it.”<\/p>\n

Incredulous, Musk asked again, “You said you\u2019ve seen more hateful content but you can\u2019t name a single example, not even one?” The reporter used his excuse again, saying, “I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve used that feed for the last three or four weeks\u2026” Musk interrupted him, asking, “Well then how did you see the hateful content?”<\/p>\n

Clayton said, “Because I\u2019ve been using Twitter since you\u2019ve taken it over<\/a> for the last six months.” Musk insisted that he must have an example or two then. “Okay, so then you must have at some point seen the \u2018For You\u2019 hateful content and I\u2019m asking for one example. You can\u2019t give a single one.”<\/p>\n

Clayton continued to struggle to offer a defense.<\/p>\n

At that point Musk declared, “Then I say sir, that you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about.” The reporter asked “Really?” to which Musk replied, “Yes, because you can\u2019t give me a single example of hateful content, not even one tweet, and yet you claimed that the hateful content was high. That\u2019s false.”<\/p>\n

The BBC journalist protested, however Musk pointed at him and stated, “You just lied.” The reporter then tried to change his initial claims, saying, “No, what I claimed was there are many organizations that say that kind of information is on the rise. Now whether it is on my feed or not \u2026”<\/p>\n

Again, the billionaire demanded another example but the reporter punted to other outlets that have described the rise in hate speech. Musk then summed up the whole exchange, saying, “You literally said you experienced more hateful content and then couldn\u2019t name a single example. That\u2019s absurd!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
