Elon Musk Insults Chef José Andrés After Mild Criticism Over Far-Right Comments
Elon Musk, the world's richest man, responded to mild criticism from chef José Andrés by calling him an 'asshole' on X (formerly Twitter). The exchange began after Musk called Economist editor Zanny Minton Beddoes a 'traitor to the West' following an interview where she questioned his affinity for far-right figures. Andrés, founder of World Central Kitchen, advised Musk to 'drink a glass of water before you tweet' and said he sounded like a tyrant. Musk's crude reply drew widespread backlash, with many users praising Andrés' humanitarian work and criticizing Musk's thin-skinned behavior. The article compares Musk's response to former President Donald Trump's style of insulting critics.
