Borowitz - Elon Loses Again!

When the world’s most admired woman gets attacked by the world’s least interesting man, it’s no contest.

On my podcast, I recently had the honor of chatting with the legendary Dr. Jane Goodall, who told me a story I’d never heard before: the time Elon Musk tried to pick a fight with her online, and failed miserably.

“He's the only person who's criticized me on social media,” she said. “Attacked me, almost. He accused me of wanting genocide. Simply because I said, you know, we can't have unlimited economic development if we carry on as we are, and the human population continues to grow.”

So Jane had a few words with Musk’s No. 2: “I said, ‘Why is your boss attacking me?” And he said, ‘Well, Elon's going to find this planet or make a planet habitable for humans. And he's afraid if the human population on planet Earth drops, then there won't be enough people for him to populate his new planet.’”
