“If You Could Die Of Irony, She Would Be Dead”: Musk Slams Liz Warren And Woke Culture In Epic Babylon Bee Interview
byVanderleunonDecember 22, 2021
RED ALERT: this is not a joke. Elon Musk sat down with Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon, EIC Kyle Mann, and Creative Director Ethan Nicolle for an in-depth interview on wokeness, Elizabeth Warren, taxing the rich, the Metaverse, which superhero Elon would be, and how the left is killing comedy.
This version contains the full interview with 45 additional minutes of content.
For those wondering, I will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year
From June 2018.
Tesla CEO and PayPal billionaire Elon Musk surprised many Friday when he declared on Twitter that he is a socialist. Conservative critics, however, may well have agreed, given his companies’ reliance on the state.
Confession time, James? Ok then. I drank Boones Farm—once. Ack. Nice headache though. Never tried Mad Dog 20-20. As for cheap highs: I also never tried Malt Liquor. The stores that sell it are in areas I would not go. And:
“One study found that people who regularly drink malt liquor are more likely to be homeless, unemployed, or on public assistance…”
And for Mad Dog 20-20:
“Our research indicates that Mad Dog 20/20 is the best of the bum wines at making you feel warm inside. Some test subjects report a slight numbing agent in Mad Dog 20/20, similar to the banana paste that the dentist puts in your mouth before injecting it with Novocain. Anyone that can afford a dentist should steer clear of this disaster. Available in various nauseating tropical flavors that coat your whole system like bathtub scum.”
Nope.
My vodka is from Burnett’s. There are over 30 flavors. I switched from Grape to Peach. Mixed with orange juice it’s like a kid’s drink.
Ok. All this booze talk is making me thirsty. Back to my Canadian Mist.

Speaking of Mad Dog. I have imbibed on it twice. The first time was in the winter of 1976 in Germany on field duty at night. My squad sgt had a bottle and a small fire and he was warming the dog on the fire in a canteen cup, and he offered me some. Detestable, but it made the sub zero air a little more tolerable. The 2nd time was some 20+ years later when I seen Mad Dog in a store and I remembered it fondly so I bought it. 2nd to worse thing I have ever tasted. Threw it out. The absolute worst though, and I’m sort of ashamed to admit it, was a bottle of Wild Irish Rose. The smell alone was unbearable. After I tasted it I realized that even the bottle itself looked vile. Stay away from that shit, please.
ToastSniffer, I never took you for the kind of guy who forces other people to look at the turd he just dropped in the can. Ok, I take that back. I always thought you were that kind of guy.

I was very impressed with Musk’s wit. Also the two regular hosts were drolly funny as ever. The “suit” that did a lot of early talking should stay off the air, and tend to the accounting or whatever.

I am enjoying this very much, still watching it. Thanks for posting! We really need more common sense everywhere right now. In the early part of the interview Musk seems to have some annoying tics -spastic arm movements- which are a real cringe turnoff. I’m trying to ignore them and just listen to what he’s saying.
If it’s true that Musk paid 11 billion in taxes this year, that’s just mind boggling. Props to him.
I listened to the entire video. I have a new respect for Musk. Yeah, he’s a bit weird. But then so am I.

Musk’s SpaceX is as big a gift to mankind as Norman Borlaug’s farming methods. And Borlaug has saved hundreds of millions from starvation.
The space shuttle could put a pound of cargo into orbit for about $25,000. SpaceX has the price down to about $1000 per pound (and dropping), and SpaceX is so far ahead of competitors that Boeing, for example, may as well hire SpaceX to deliver its NASA cargos.
And Musk believes that they can get the cost per pound to the MOON down to $15 or so. What does that mean? Well, look up how much it costs to ship a pound to Australia right now. The lowest cost I found was about $15, and it would take 45 days.
Oh, and Musk is solving the rural broadband problem with his Starlink system. No government subsidies required.
Doesn’t change my opinion of him though. These days, which billionaire doesn’t cozy up to China?

There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per house hold, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each.
Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get on to the next house.
Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purpose of the calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles (1.3 km) per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles (125.83 million km), not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means Santa’s sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second (1083 km/s), 3000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest manmade vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at poky 27.4 miles per second (45.7 km/s), and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour (25 km/h) – that is four thousands of a mile (4/1000) per second (6.9 m/s).
The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium size Lego set (two pounds, or 0.906 kg, that is), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons US (508,000 t metric), not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds (136 kg). Even granting that the “flying” reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job can’t be done with only eight or even nine of them – Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons (54,864 t metric), or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch).
600,000 tons (606,600 t metric) travelling at 650 miles per second (1083 km/s) creates enormous air resistance, and this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth’s atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion Joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst in flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousands of a second (0.00426 s), or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip.
Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from dead stop to 650 miles per second (1083 km/s) in 0.001 seconds, would be subjected top acceleration forces of 17,500 g’s. A 250 pound (113 kg) Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force (195,470 kg force, or 1.9547 MN), instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Dood has more intelligence and common sense than ALL us politicians combined.
From June 2018.

I started watching it before turning to Amer. D.
The only fault I find with Elon, drinking White Claw? That’s almost as bad as peach vodka, shudder. 🙂
Damn you James! Just so you know, my friend and his wife brought over to my apartment last night a huge bottle of Canadian Mist. So there.
Actually Mike, when it come to shudder, peach vodka, shudder, I shouldn’t rag you too much, I’m not one to talk.
Let he who is without gin cast the first rock and rye.
I gotta admit that when nothing else was available I’ve even drank Mad Dog 20-20, twice. 😉
Confession time, James? Ok then. I drank Boones Farm—once. Ack. Nice headache though. Never tried Mad Dog 20-20. As for cheap highs: I also never tried Malt Liquor. The stores that sell it are in areas I would not go. And:

You can use it as a firestarter. Just don’t smoke around it.
James, I have a Christmas present just for you!

The boys at Breitbart don’t care for Musk. They say he is a bit too cozy with China.
