Ian Hislop’s unfiltered take on Elon Musk | LBC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Editor of the Private Eye Ian Hislop joins Andrew Marr to discuss Elon Musk's controversial attacks on British MP's, the Rotherham inquiry, and his political predictions for 2025.
This comes after Musk went on a tweeting spree, in which he attacked Prime Ministers Gordon Brown and Sir Keir Starmer over what he alleges - without evidence - they were “complicit” in failing to combat mass rapes of young women and girls.
Musk's intervention has resurfaced the findings of a series of inquiries into child sexual abuse across England and Wales involving at least 1,400 victims.
The tech billionaire has also come under significant criticism for his attacks on Labour’s Jess Philipps, Secretary of State for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, claiming she was a “rape genocide apologist”.

Two intelligent men having a conversation during which they state actual facts - this is the antidote to misinformation and we need it hourly.
There is one glaring error in what they are peppering their conversation with however - wonder how many people get what that is, Andrew and Ian appear unable to - is it really that subtle, or are they blinded by social class prejudices/niceties to the wolves in their own pen? 🤷
You took the words out of my mouth!
MSM may have raised it, but it has been ignored by the establishment.
Exactly
Codswallop
‘An amazing feat of deception’
‘They have no morality, literally none’
Very well summarized 👌
That’s how you need to be to become a billionaire!
You're obviously talking about islop
Absolute respect for this forum and Hislop. More of this please.
You're sick
He's fragile the only reason he attacked the man helping the boys in Thailand is because they didn't use his little toy as part of the rescue. He showed who he was and as soon as he took over Twitter I left.
Like millions of other people.
He really is gross.
It honestly blows my mind that anyone could still possibly like him after that incident. Not only accusing him of something completely unfounded but hiring a private investigator to try digging dirt. Vile human being
@@fitnesse9055Yet 77 million also voted for Trump, knowing exactly what he is
Me too
Ian Hislop is a joy to listen to, speaks very eloquently and straight to the actual point.
He gets paid £10,000 pound per hour by the BBC
An institution funded by old lady's who can't heat there home
Real man of the people is Mr hislop
IanHislop is part of the old, decaying system and no one cares what he thinks anymore. Mainstream media is dead and that’s no one’s fault other than their own.
The comment on independent media in their bedrooms… what an idiotic, condescending comment made by a dinosaur totally out of touch with reality.
Just love listening to his eloquent common sense. A voice of reason in a currently crazy world.
He's a fraud.
@patricka.crawley6572 why? Or do you just fling unfounded insults around without explanation like musk?
I've been a follower of Private Eye since I was in school (1971). The stories like the Poulson Scandal, T Dan Smith and Reginald Maudling, for example, were covered and published articles in Private Eye similar to these got me hooked. The fact that Ian Hislop continued the work of his predecessors is nothing short of magnificent as he is an intelligent, fearless publisher, author and editor who has a show on BBC (HIGNIFY),which is superb, and will not bow down to anything or anyone. He makes me proud to be British.
I like him a lot too, doesn't mean he is right on this though!

And then the “awkward gesture”. As Orwell said: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
I always find it to be quite trite and tired when people try to force comparisons to an Orwelian government but honestly what Musk and and Trump are doing is pure 1984 😂

@@joebees21 And in case you haven't noticed, the same applies here in the U.K.
@@joebees21 I find it curioously interesting that some people claim this, but when i look at what what's actually going on i see the opposite, while the orwellian government is being dismantled no less. I don't think this is done maliciously either, i believe it's a part of our human nature and there's an instinct to join the mob when they've had boots stomping on their faces for a period of time, they've been gaslighted, bullied and threatened to the point of passive support for imaginary ideas, pointing fingers at imaginary enemies, and cognitive dissonance keeps them from being able to fess up, their own brains are protecting them from reality because the realisation of what foul people they've become would probably cause them to break down.
Finally some one talking sense. Protect Ian Hislop at all costs, he’s a national treasure.
You support censorship of social media?
He’s a bell end .
Sounds worrying keen on the current labour leader at present.

These people wouldn't have power on social media if all kids were taught how to critical think. Make it a subject as important as maths, English and science.
Yes. In reality, although it's important to learn maths, most people use calculators. But critical thinking transforms people's way of relating to the world.
I think the kids are fine! I think you'll find its not them who are believing everything they read!
Absolutely, and basic research skills. Learning to look for sources, bias, so on, shouldn't be gatekept behind a Uni eductaion.

This is the most refreshing and honest conversation I've seen on LBC in some time, and I don't mean because we're discussing Elon Musk, I have NO desire to hear more about that loathsome individual. I mean the fact that two intelligent people are speaking about an important topic without resorting to reactionary or inflammatory repeating of false information in order to generate clickbait but are instead making reasoned explanations based on their assessment of the facts. This is what LBC should be.
Two whinging media leftists?
@@benjaminguilatcoivfellas, is it leftist to point out facts?
@@Wales123 As an American, I can confirm reality has a left-wing bias here. 😂 I’m not sure why this video is on my feed, but I’m happy to watch it.
We might be fed up of hearing about Elon Musk but we need to keep reporting on his actions, keep his actions in the public eye so that people know what he is planning. We also need to put the spotlight on others like him. For too long people like Musk have worked in the background, moulding the world to their benefit without accepting any responsibility.
@@benjaminguilatcoiv It's interesting that the only negative comment I've seen so far on this thread makes no attempt at reasoned argument, just resorting to abuse.
Hislop speaks more truth and wisdom than the world’s politicians put together 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I love it when two intelligent journalists DISCUSS a major point rather than shouting over each other so much that no-one can understand the points. THIS is the way forward.... OPEN DISCUSSION... BASED ON TRUTHS.
Indeed, and yet the usual maga swarm descends with the same slogans, talking points and slurs regardless. Sad.
“For the first time in many of our lives, actually Britain looks like a little haven of peace and stability” Andrew Marr - July 5 2024 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Show me where that happened? All i saw was 2 priveledged out of touch past its, wholly unaffected by the problems most working class face, sitting on their high horses frothing over the sounds of their own opinions. These morons couldnt hold a candle to the accomplishments or "morality" of Musk. The guy who single handedly brought communication to North Carolina through his satelites in order to help them get supplies and survive, while the US government did sweet FA. Stop listening to these BBC funded rich socialists who despise the working class.
You took the words out of mouth. I have often heard Hislop on radio & tv, Marr less so. Hislop has done a brilliant job with Private Eye; he’s a worthy successor to … his predecessors whose names I’ve forgotten.
Intelligent journalists - what a laugh!
Over the past many decades I have never tired of listening to Ian Hislop.
I have.
Snap! Grew up watching “Have I got news for you”. ❤
I left school at 15 no qualifications but I was taught by my sisters to be inquisitive and look at the facts behind a story- Andrew Marr & Ian Hislop are part of a diminishing journalistic breed not afraid to question those who think they are beyond questioning and whilst we have people like them there is hope.
Thank goodness they're diminishing. Critically examine what Hislop claims. Nonsense.
Agree. Today's journalists dont ask the obvious questions.
Dare I say Ian Hislop and Andrew Marr have a bit of chemistry together, I wouldn't mind if they did a little news roundup once a month or so.
why should hislop lower himself thusly?
Perhaps call it "Private Eye". Maybe biweekly, even.
Carehome vibes
@@Batsinthebelltowerhow old are you… 5 ?
@@thehellyousay What you mean even lower?
I live in America and it is shocking how many people can't critically think.
Hahahahahaha we've got that ex game show host who relied on magic to fight a pandemic while stealing possibly selling SC documents being sworn into the WH again. Yeah, critical thinking is sadly lacking here.
The No Child Left Behind Act took care of that.
People who support Trump/Musk would argue that you are the one who cannot think critically 😢
How does the fact that Musk makes EV's and Trump want to drill for oil .... dont ring a Bell
Like @Taharqo.saved.the.Hebrew
Why cant rich people use their wealth to improve humanity not destroy humanity
You mean ike Soros?
Because then they'd no longer rich people, but formerly rich people! Can't have that.
Because they are looking forward to uttering "let them eat cake" and scaffolds.
I mean, Space X are doing some pretty incredible things...
The issue is that the mainstream media, that is owned by the rich, has you believing that people like Trump and Musk are the issue because they are rich. Sure they are rich, they are not THE rich. THE rich are the ones who own the mainstream media and all the rest of the companies, keeping you focused on Trump and Musk and getting you to think they're the enemy.
He is using his wealth to make the world a better place. Brain chips for disabled people, electric cars, New Cross country transport infrastructure, deregulation is a great idea. There are legitimate scientific theories to save the planet that are banned because of regulated equipment and materials. Now he’s outing parliament crooks they are all trying to stop him ruining this globalist agenda.
This news is complete nonsense. There is a list of 50 Labour Party pedo’s. Charged but no sentence. Fkrs got away with it. Support free speech and freedom for Britain and Europe. They can’t get away with this s**t
Ian Hislop really has a way with words. "The only people who noticed anything in the world are people sitting in their bedrooms sending messages to each other"
Was the referring to ppl like you?
I disagree with him on this point. People all over the world use X and many times they are at the scene as a news story is unfolding, before legacy media can even get there. That's part of why they are desperate to take X down.

Unfortunately , the truth means nothing in a world where the entertainment of an ignorant and infantilised public is top priority for the media .
The ignorant and infantilised are now beginning to vote, because they aren’t happy, in fact many of them are angry. We highly educated and intelligent individuals must prepare for change because, although we may not like it, it is coming.
I totally agree with you
Couldn’t have said it better
Not just priority but actually their remit...
That is just their cover for propaganda. The priority is control of opinion and that is orchestrated via entertainment amongst other things.

Ian is bang on. Every founder of one of the large social media companies is a demonstrable social inadequate who had almost certainly never (or only rarely) experienced a healthy social interaction.
Agree - remember seeing an interview with Jack something (founder of Twitter) and thinking he is a child 🙄🙄
Zuckerberg is trying to retcon Facebook as some kind of noble initiative for global communication, but it started as just a simple list of women he fancied.

"Hopefully like my clothes honesty will come back into fashion." You referring to the BBC?
Don't assume honesty will come back any time soon. The far right playbook is being used globally, it has worked well in Turkey and is working everywhere. It involves heating up the political divide and "conversation" until nobody is thinking rationally or calmly and deliberately avoids sticking to rational arguments and discussions. Rumour, ad hominem attacks and spreading disinformation at speed via SoMe are the tactics.
Sure, socialism-state schools, state medicine, state media run by aristocrats with not an entrepreneur in sight.
There appears to be a growing population of tools and fools that think the rich and powerful care about them. Shameful arrogant ignorance, thank you both for the conversation.

@ Tragic?
These guys are 100% correct. Speaking truth intelligently about bad people.
If Musk was Russian or Chinese would you give him so much air time? No. Tell him to get lost and not to meddle in British life.
Your pm opened the gate by interfering in their election.
The elite "class" in Britain has been meddling in most countries affairs and stealing their land for centuries. Britain even sending out their young "classless" lads to die in South Africa in the late 1800s in order to steal the gold and diamonds the Boers has discovered in the Free State and Transvaal Republics. Incidentally these were largely unoccupied swafts of land north of the western cape that the Brits had stolen from the Dutch. So going to shed no tears for the crocodile. In any case Musk is seeking to protect the "classless" young girls of Britain. The media lied in the 1800s like they are doing now. We applaud Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk.
Yes, that awful man highlighting the abhorrent torture of children. Jesus, what is wrong with you people?
Sounds like an abused wife telling a neighbour what happens behind closed doors is none of their business. As a British person myself, I weep at what the UK has become.
All foreign influence must be removed from govt influence.....whether it's musk or Obama or the so called 'friends of labour/Tories'......remove all or remove none.
Labour won because the Tories were such a total sh show who went through a handful of leaders, wrecked the standing of Britain on the world stage, and destroyed our economy. How short your memory is.
Would anyone's lives really be in any way worse if Twitter and Facebook didn't exist any more ? 🤔(Serious Question)
maybe even a little better 😊
Nope!
And RUclips.
Here's a serious answer. When the Rotherham case concluded and the sentences handed down, it was arguably the largest UK criminal case of the year. Larger even than the Post Office Horizon and on a par with Lucy Letby. BBC news covered it as the bottom story in their local south yorkshire section. To see it you would have to navigate UK->England->Regions->North West->South Yorkshire. If I remember correctly there was a story of a local tory mp fiddling expenses that was higher up the list so you had to scroll down. When I saw this I realised I could no longer rely on BBC news to report the truth. I use Ground News now but also look at X. We are only discussing this because of X.
I'm an electrician and I get a lot of work via Facebook because an older crowd uses it (and they actually own homes). But maybe I need to move my efforts to IG. I hate social media btw.

Utterly foolish statement - it’s the populists who are destroying politics
Someone, anyone who clearly identifies the Facts regardless of who or what the subject is deserves considerable respect in This day & age ..
Musk is not concerned about facts and whilst I agree the British cases remain unresolved in terms of holding people accountable, Musk himself takes no accountability so one has to question his motives. One can ask why he is attacking all left wing governments throughout Europe? Why the right wing tendencies. Musk is using those victims for his own gain.
Refusing to take Musk seriously is the worst mistake you could ever make. People did the same with Trump, now look where we are.
Musk must be taken seriously. This is a job for 007.
Yep, hopefully he can help sort out this country that is going down the pan so fast, where freedom of speech is under threat more and more every day, as intelligent people are afraid of expressing their opinions for fear of being shut down by the left wing woke oppressors.
Yes, we're in a far better place than under left wing tools.
The best way to deal with the man is to totally ignore his comments and don’t respond to them silence is a very powerful instrument. The more you respond to people like him and his cronies The more publicity they get, and this is what we don’t want to give them
Hislop is a great human being
So refreshing to see this. Thanks Ian for talking sense.
Musk is only impossible to avoid because the MSM continue to discuss what he is tweeting. Absurd. As for Badenoch supporting him, just pathetic.
An intelligent man making intelligent comments. Great to see. There is hope
How many times has Ian Hyslop been sued for liable? Hypocritical little man.
His growing power with owning, and more importantly, controlling starlink is a hidden threat that needs to be dealt with! That much control over access to the internet is dangerous for a single person to have.

Hislop is right here. If you really, genuinely think Musk suddenly cares about this issue for anything other than partisan reasons and his own unquenchable thirst for attention and approval you've been had.
This is payback for Britain's interference in the US election against Trump. Labour paid for campaigners to go to America to campaign against Trump and the Russian collusion hoax documents originated from the UK. Musk and the Trump team know exactly what they are doing it is payback and the same for Germany Musk supporting AFD against Scholtz
I think he cares about bringing this government down, as well as the plight of the victims and i agree with him on both counts.
How much column space has Hislop spent raging against the fact that not a single social worker, police officer or council official has faced any negative consequences for prioritising 'community relations' over the mass ra*e of British children?

@pakde8002 which is why Musk is such a refreshing change.
Can't they just close the loopholes in the current tax system rather than actually raising tax? The issue seems to be more about the rich simply avoiding taxes, not the rate being too low.
I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years in another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.
< I know this FA you just mentioned. Tracy Britt Cool is a portfolio manager and investment advisor. She gained recognition as an employee of Berkshire Hattaway; a renowned investor she is. Ms Tracy has demonstrated expertise in investment strategies and has been involved in managing portfolios and providing guidance to clients.
The debt issue is less a spending issue than an income issue. Just think how much the Reagan, Bush and Trump tax cuts + the SS taxes cap have shortened the US finances. This is more than the current debt. Working people did not profit from these tax loopholes, only passive income earners did.
I went from no money to lnvest with to busting my A** off on Uber eats for six months to raise about $30k to start investing with Tracy Britt Cool. I am at $128k right now and LOVING that you have to bring this up here
Please how can I liase with this FA? I am seeking for a very effective investment approach for my savings which gradually depreciates in value due to inflation
Well her name is 'Tracy Britt Cool Consulting'. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment
Well said Ian!
Nothing well said has ever come out of his mouth
@@bieituns Clearly, you didn't even listen to the clip, let alone comprehend it.
Please do more of these. Could have listened for at least 1 hour ❤
Hislop is a wonderful commentator
He's clueless
@bieituns whether you like him or not, or agree with him politically, the man is clearly not clueless about politics and current affairs
@@Gordon.Pinkerton he clearly is clueless or he's a lying deceitful propagandist. Working for the BBC it's probably the latter, but he is certainly clueless if he thinks he can take on musk and trump.

@@Gordon.Pinkerton he is a paid propagandist. He job is to lie and mislead.
They throw national treasure around so cheeply these days,but these two men are certainly up there. Just my opinion 😊
Plenty of support for Ian Hislop’s intelligent discourse. Perhaps more of us should support him by buying his publication, Private Eye. The dishonesty and corruption revealed there is truly mind boggling along with some satire about our so called ‘betters’.
Brilliant.
Ian is the best.
Starmer could always raise taxes on the very rich. There are few people who would be against that.
That's why they are taxing the poor and making it impossible for poor people to heat their homes , they don't represent the working class more like look down on them
Raise an army to go for the rich, you say ?
@julianshepherd2038 No, not at all! You are jumping to silly conclusions!
Trouble with thst is, as discussed in the video, the super rich own the media so just saying you're thinking about taking thier money and o ernight you become "unelectable"
He could also use things like 30 year bonds to pay for things that generate an income, then use some of the income to pay back the bonds.
Reeves has no imagination.
Musk : Maxwell - that needs investigating
As Piers Morgan pointed out on his programme, he himself has been photographed with Ghislaine because that's part of the publicity circle that generally happens to all celebs and means absolutely nothing, do nothing to investigate.
@@mr.mayhem7402 yep...there is a photo so Elon must have been involved they say...? Muppets
@@mr.mayhem7402 Elon skillfully evades the investigations with his Kung Fu. He is far from some horse trader. He would never get caught over exposing himself to anyone. He didn't even talk that long to epstein at the dinner in 2011. He certainly didn't visit Epstien with Tallulah Riley in new York then divorce her immediately after with a settlement specifically saying she couldn't disclose anything said/done there. And also when his travel arrangements were subpoenaed in the Epstein trial, the judge changed his mind when Elon didn't want to disclose them. It was all above board really.
Fantastic discussion, Well done Ian Hislop and Andrew Marr. Please don't stop your work
I know someone who i riddled by contradictions and makes absolutely no sense. He got elected to be the president of the US for the second time.
I always enjoy Ian Hislop.
He’s not bothered about professional commentators.
He is hoping to, and is, influencing the electoral dysfunctional amongst us.
100%
Excellent, erudite, sanity in a most insane world of talk.
Sanity? 🤣
The fact Musk manages to devote so much time to tweeting every day makes you wonder whether he does any actual work.
So you can only do one thing a day.
Some of us can multi task..
When you've built empires, you can delegate to your employees which then gives you the luxury of time.
@undead_corsair Musk is a speed reader with a photographic memory. He splits his day into 5 MINUTE slices! He only spends longer on a subject when it needs trouble shooting. You can't judge him by our standards...
@@helmshardover 🤣
The comment Ian made earlier regarding people sitting in their bedrooms etc is such great analysis.
An engaging discussion. Great.
The irony of this comment section is not lost on you then?
Thank you, Andrew and Ian!
So glad I found this channel!
Best of all was Musk visibly on Ket during the inauguration, twitching and shaking away…even Zuckerberg next to him looked rather stunned😂
If he was he wouldn't be, not that I am talking from experience 😉😗
So why don’t we all just stop using Amazon, Facebook and X. That’s what I’ve done.
same here
And me.
Stop buying their junk and that will reduce their power.
They're billionaires and they've effectively seized the world's biggest super power. That ship has significantly sailed.
Truth , honesty ,& straight talking . What a refreshing breath of fresh air in this money driven , corrupt society .
Best conversation ❤ from the Netherlands. Critical thinking at the best ❤
Twitter... uninstall.
Problem solved.
breath of fresh air is ian
Breath of bad bread.
Warm greetings from Australia 🦘 Ian Hislop. You should have your own podcast. Great interview and banter. Thank you. You're both stars.
I could listen to Ian for hours.
