Elon Musk Rejects Far-Right Label in Tense Economist Interview

Musk told The Economist's editor Zanny Minton Beddoes he supports secure borders, safe cities, and sensible spending—principles he said were once mainstream but now wrongly branded extreme.

 He defended controlled immigration against those with views opposing Western values and reiterated warnings of civil unrest in Britain from unchecked migration.

The interview, his first major one since SpaceX's June IPO, touched on his DOGE role, AI timelines, and drew praise from supporters like his mother Maye for delivering common sense amid media criticism.
