Piers Morgan reveals why Elon Musk cancelled interview two days before meetingPiers Morgan Uncensored

Transcript

00:00 It's funny, I wasn't going to say this, but you've triggered me by saying you've interviewed him.

00:04 I haven't interviewed him. I spent a year courting him to do an interview. He finally agreed to do

00:10 an interview actually at the start of this year. I was two days away from getting on a plane from

00:15 Los Angeles to Austin in Texas to do it with him. And at the last minute, he suddenly sent me,

00:22 because he was doing all the organization himself on direct message on X, he suddenly sent me a clip

00:28 that someone had posted that day from an interview I did with Zoobi at the start of December in which

00:34 I criticized Elon for bringing Alex Jones back to X, something he'd always said he wouldn't do.

00:40 And he said that he'd lost all respect for me because I had said that and the interview was

00:46 summarily cancelled. So I never got the chance to interview him, which is a great regret because I

00:50 think he's probably the most fascinating guy in the world right now. It also showed, you mentioned

00:55 his Trumpian tweeting, a slightly thin skin. I was pretty surprised that someone who is such a

01:01 defender of free speech was so thin skinned about a criticism, which actually a lot of people felt

01:07 he was right the first time about Jones, that Jones crossed a line that probably did warrant

01:13 not being allowed back on the platform. So I'm afraid I haven't interviewed him and that's why.

01:19 So I've given you a little scoop there.
