Mehdi Hassan Calls Elon Musk an ‘Anti-Muslim Bigot’ Over Economist Interview Dispute
July 29, 2026
HE IS A BLATANT ANTI-MUSLIM BIGOT.
When asked point-blank by The Economist if he’s anti-Muslim, Elon Musk couldn’t even manage a simple “no.” Instead, he sneered: “I’m against rape and murder.”
Think about the sheer, vile malice of that response. He directly linked nearly 2 BILLION Muslims worldwide to “rape and murder.”
As Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan ) rightfully torched him on air:
“Can you imagine if someone asked if he was anti-Jewish and he responded with ‘Well, I’m against rape and murder’? It’s an outrageously bigoted thing to say.”
The richest man on earth—who owns one of the biggest global megaphones on the planet—has absolute total meltdowns the second a journalist asks him a real question. He threw a temper tantrum, called The Economist’s editor a “traitor,” and put a target on her back for his cult-like followers to attack.
He’s not protecting free speech. He’s funding far-right extremists, pushing dangerous Islamophobic conspiracy theories, and weaponizing his platform to incite hate.
CALL IT WHAT IT IS.
