When people from Twitter try to argue in real life
-
The crowd cheering must have felt really stupid when they got the answer.
-
Elon seems like he was the type of kid to share his answer with the class and everyone laughs at him until the teacher says “no he’s right”
-
I love how entitled the person asking the question sounds. Acting all high and morally righteous. It is pure gold comedy.
-
She really just ask that question to a man born in South Africa...
-
The crowd got slapped in the face in a respectable manner.
-
Crowd cheered the question painting Elon as a bully but when he clearly explained he wasn't at fault the crowd was dead silent lol. Saying "Oh." without saying it.
-
The fact that everybody was silent during and after his response showed that they don’t know anything about his business Edit: To clarify: With „during“, I mean the speaking pauses where people applaud or shout their answers in. Since nobody had anything to say, it is pretty obvious that they understood their place. Please don’t take my comment out of context, it has nothing to do with school etc. Of course it is disrespectful if you interrupt someone and has nothing to do with intelligence.

Reporter: I'm about to end this mans whole career Elon: Uno reverse card

She probably thought she was so smart with her “you’re going interplanetary but you’re not going international”
-
The cough at the end is just the cherry at the top of the cake.
-
She was proud of the punchline in her question but did not think that question through though. He calmly dropped basic facts on her and everyone who cheered for her.
-
lmao she prepared this whole thing like going "interplanetary but not international" then he's like... we can't legally...
-
At least he was nice enough to let the crowd have their “woooo” moment 😂
-
Lady: Thinks she thought of something that billionaire genius hasn't considered. Elon: I'm gonna stop you right there
-
I think it's really important to know that this conference TOOK PLACE IN MEXICO
-
He handled that question in a very respectable manner
-
Elon was like : Congratulations YOU'VE PLAYED YOURSELF
-
“We can’t hire non-Americans due to governmental regulations.” Operation Paperclip intensifies
-
The important thing is that Elon doesn’t play with the crowd at all. He sticks to the question, and answers honestly and very professionally regardless of the setting in the room. Mad respect ✊, I can’t for Elon to take us beyond the moon and eventually the stars !
