It’s been a chaotic month on Twitter under its new owner. Who knows what Elon Musk’s thinking — he hasn't answered many questions since buying the site. We invited him onto this show to try and change that. He hasn’t answered, but here’s what @mehdirhasan would’ve asked him:

Hey Mehdi, I'm a blue check mark too now! You're no longer special

Elon Musk's ignorance is so offensive to me. He's misleading millions of people, just like Trump does.
Who would have thought someone who's made billions of $$ had no problem lying.
He's a bigot. That is the upshot.
Elon Musk won't know the answers to any of these ?'s. He knows nothing about humanities, any kind of justice, social or environmental, politics, how campaigns run & their direct line to sm companies, how to lead or what free speech means. etc.
It's almost like he was born rich, bought his way into PayPal, bullied everyone, got a huge windfall and has never really learned anything.
Mehdi - you know the darpok won’t come on your show. Maybe he’ll go to that paragon of virtue, Carlson, for soft questions.

All great serious questions Medhi. Twitter is definitely different now with right wing views seemingly amplified more but no clear alternative has yet arisen. It'll be sad if Musk kills the platform that many rely on as their primary source for news.

Two things: 1 - It’s shocking how few impressions this tweet received. Mehdi is asking all the logical questions most of us have — questions that need answers. 2 - Elon will never answer them, because he doesn’t have logical answers for his illogical (and irrational) actions.
