Elon Musk is the face of DOGE. But he hasn't faced a challenging interview

In April 2023, a few months after Elon Musk purchased Twitter, now called X, the outspoken billionaire went on a bit of a media tour.

“Am doing interviews across the political spectrum. BBC’s SF division is ‘left wing’, as evidenced by the questions he asked. Tucker is ‘right wing’. Next week, I will do interviews with moderate & slightly left media,” Musk posted at the time.

Two years later, Musk continues to do interviews. But nowadays, Musk sticks with ones that don’t challenge him, often with interviewers who fawn over his accomplishments rather than pushing him to answer important questions about his government work.

Since the inauguration and formally joining President Donald Trump’s administration, Musk has made five appearances on Fox News. He’s chatted with Joe Rogan and Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on podcasts where they lavished praise on Musk and never questioned his work in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
