3. The total number of episodes or shows that David Burns appeared in during the most recent fiscal year.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Is he actually or is it just that he's rich so we have to pretend he's really smart? Seems an absolute clown from his public presence.

 

Ok, I've just read up a bit more. The bbc fella asked for an interview around midday, Musk offered that same night. So the bbc fella was, in fact, stitched up good and proper. Serves him right really.

 

the latter

 

I don't think you can get that rich by not being media savvy. I don't know about smart, that's too subjective.

 

Have you watched the interview in question?

 

So he has time to prepare and in all honesty should have been fully prepared anyway before asking just incase. He made himself look extremely stupid and incompetent. If your going to accuse something then have facts and examples to back it up and better still don't change your story half way through.

I don't really have an opinion of musk either way, but anyone's who watches that interview can't think the BBC/interviewer where anything but awful

 

Yep, complete shambles from BBC.

Should have done a bit more prep before my first post...

 

So one piece on the BBC is what we judge the entire TV and radio output by? Are you serious? You're surely not that much of an idiot? Maybe you could list the public broadcasters that you think are better than the BBC?

 

Through acquisitions and hiring the right ppl, he's turned a few million into X billion in 23 years... Created an international brand, satellite system cheaper and more efficiently than any government could and donates hundreds of millions to charity. Yet he's mostly publicly known and referenced for winding ppl up on twitter.

For some reason, perhaps boredom or being a high functioning autist, he's got involved in social media, to the horror of his investors and Qatar, and seems to be having a laugh getting reactions from millions of social media users in flame wars. Not sure he takes it that seriously and I'll never understand why others do.

 

Amazing how so many idiots make a lot of money whilst the people calling them idiots don’t.

 

always easier to make money when you have a lot of money in the first place though

 

Musk, like most modern billionaires who made their money through tech did not have a load of money to start with. Neither did a lot of previous self made men.
