Four hour radio programme.
The BBC only publish details of their highest earners and he's certainly not one of those.

Dear BBC,
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding the salary of David Burns at the BBC.
As a license fee payer, I am interested in understanding how the BBC spends its budget on talent and personnel. Specifically, I am interested in obtaining the following information:
- The total remuneration, including any bonuses or other forms of compensation, paid to David Burns in the most recent fiscal year for which this information is available.
- The breakdown of this remuneration, including salary, bonuses, and any other forms of compensation such as pension contributions, car allowances, or other benefits.
- The total number of episodes or shows that David Burns appeared in during the most recent fiscal year.
- Any other relevant information regarding the remuneration of David burns that may be available.
I understand that the BBC is required to respond to my request within 20 working days of receipt. If you require any further information or clarification from me to process this request, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
chazz
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.
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.
