Bill Maher and Kara Swisher discuss her new book about tech titans and whether Elon Musk is a genius or a "jerk."
Good to see Charlie Sheen is making a come back.
I'm surprised these two talking to each other didn't open some sort of sarcasm and condescension wormhole.
No doubt. Both Swisher and Maher exemplify the whole talk a lot and say nothing type. They both have agents that keep the bullshit wheel greased.
This passes for tech journalism?
You have to watch the whole interview
@@vanillaquicksand8025 yes, and what is your point?
@@vanillaquicksand8025 the irony is that she is a massive jerk, and nothing else. Elon, who may be a jerk, is also an incredible repeat innovator. It's funny how she is more smug than Elon ever is.
You clearly know nothing about her.
@@shacktime to the contrary. I've known of her hack writing for years. I just didn't realize she was also this incredibly smug in person. Figures.
I have a hard time respecting anyone who sees free speech as a problem.
Yeah I don't like Musk either.
Anything can become a problem if stupid people abuse it. Even the things we ought to have in an ideal society can destroy a society if people can't be bothered to act as adults.
@Nathan-gd7xq where did you come up with that one
@@madking1485 Musk obviously hates free speech, therefore I have a hard time respecting him.
So you have a hard time respecting Elon.
I mostly like Kara but her ego is as large as the people she covers, and that’s a problem for a journalist.
Ego? People like this think they carry the world on their shoulders... well maybe they should for a day?
@jumblyman Nah, not a problem. You can't be a shrinking flower and operate in the circles that she does.
@@celestialnubian Ego and competence are not synonymous with each other. Nor are being humble yet formidable mutually exclusive. You can be both. Ego is only a useful tool if you are wielding *it,* not letting *it* control you.
@@ivareskesner2019 She does not strike me as having an excessive ego.
@@celestialnubianagreed. She strikes me as confident, unafraid, whip-smart and utterly comfortable in her own skin. Why should she be anything but?
Neuralink seems pretty damn good for those with crippling disabilities.
And I’m guessing they’re soon gonna have a strange urge to buy Teslas lol
there are more company's than Nuerolink working on this though- Elon doesnt invent - he goes into business.
also crippling mental handicaps liek this lady above
Cars are bad for our society, just visit Amsterdam, 90% of the people don't have cars, just bikes and trains and they are super happy 😁 Elon Musk doesn't have a clue what happiness is😅
NONE of her pointless book (denigrating big tech) will be denigrating towards big tech cooperating with the federal government in shutting down and removing social media posts from people who dissented with the narrative on covid. You could tell in that interview that when Bill brought that up, she was uncomfortable. It made her feel bad and what she wanted to do was shut down that entire narrative. Because she AGREES with big tech working with the federal government o remove posts from people she disagrees with, politically.
This woman is insufferable
If you were someone of consequence she might add your comment to the blurb section. But alas. 🤣
@@celestialnubian🔥🔥🔥🔥
She's very intelligent! 🧠
She wasn't the asshole in the Elon thing. They used to be friends
@@celestialnubian oh look, a Kara fan..
I don't think well adjusted adults need to "like" or "dislike" people. Who cares if you like someone?
@frayfray720 That's a really m0r0nic take. Everybody has affinities and aversions.
@@celestialnubianno it's not. Of course everyone has those. This person is saying you don't NEED them in regards to another person. There's something called indifference
@@cwisthbulpabont7749 If you're indifferent they why tf would you write a book or be on tv? Why tf would anybody watch someone who was indifferent. Who are the indifferent people that you watch, listen to or read? You people say the most inane things with no irony.
You’re naive. When a person like Iago decides not to like you you’re gonna have serious problems.
The woke left. That's who.
She can't keep her politics out of it: (I like Tesla Elon, Neuralink Elon, but not Twitter Elon). Ok.
I typed in the search bar “what would happen if you gave a little power and noterietay to the most insufferable, bitter, arrogant, self righteous, and morally bankrupt person you knew” and this video popped up.
This woman is insufferable. And this is the first time I've heard of her. Anytime somebody throws around the "anti-trans" accusation I don't take them seriously
I watched Kara Swisher's interviews with Elon Musk. She sucks at her job. Seriously this isn't me being an asshole, just watch it yourself.
@lawrencefrost9063 Maher sucks at his job too.
I don’t doubt you never read the Wall Street Journal.
Name calling, because they don't like being called names. Welcome to being anyone.
:p
Elon Musk, for all his faults, got into Harvard as a non-legacy white guy, built a successful software company, built the most world's most successful EV company, built the world's first space company and now owns 'X'. Elon Musk IS a complicated guy. Kara Swisher, is an opinion writer at the once-great New York Times, and her only claim to fame is she was fortunate enough to interview people who are far more intelligent, diligent and creative than she and now she's 'burning' them in a book for some fast-cash. Kara Swisher is not a complicated guy, though she does look like one.
Once great NY Times? I guess you're a Post kinda person. 😂
@@FuKuntt more like Revolver News, and before you stick your nose up just remember I knew COVID was manufactured by the Chinese.before the first U.S. case. I always knew Trump/Russia was a hoax and never believed Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. It never ceases to amaze how utterly disinformed the average NYT reader is.
Sick burn 🔥
Ummm…Musk didn’t go to Harvard.
@@ViciousLobster my bad... "Stanford" same diff
She seems bitter.
That's the basis of Liberalism
You don’t get a bigotry pass if you “invent” the right tech.
because we couldn’t possibly put up with a little bigotry (which has always existed, and which will always exist) in exchange for inventions that are important to progress, and which may ultimately save the world. You are just jealous, because he is 200x the person you will ever be, despite his faults. Must hurt being a nobody.
Kara Swisher's glib schtick never fails to irritate.
define condescension: Kara Swisher at 50%
The fact that she worked for the Times and hates free speech tells me all I need to know.
geez joe the flake.
she doesnt hate free speech- she hates liars- and bigots and you have to be like me people- and people twisting history and so do I-
@@theresa922 He's not real. He's a troll (probably foreign) with a new account created Oct 22, 2022.
Dam Indians 😂
@@celestialnubiandamn you are killing it!!
Oh, madam, speaks so directly to the truth.
Cara Swisher's main concern is Cara Swisher. She's more a performance artist of ego and snark than journalist.
Completely agree.
I bet you're a Trump supporter, which is ironic because Trump is the biggest megalomaniac out there...at least she's smart.
Very akin to most of her demographic
Snark? Yeah. Ego? You’re clueless. If anything she’s not hard enough on the tech bros.
Her demographic? You mean well informed people who don’t worship false idols?
I think Elon is kinda right about her.
Then you’re as clueless as they get.
@@shacktime ...another wokester who probably was calling Elon Musk the "real life Tony Stark" when he was making cars the left loves and firing rockets into space, but the minute the libertarian bought Twitter in the name of free speech, you're little beta mind was blown and you needed to go back to you safe space.
She has become too self important and acting like a jerk.
she's too much of a communist propagandist
Sorry, but the world’s biggest jerk (and threat) is Musk. He’s a hypocritical creep.
Some village is missing their fool. Maher, can you return her?
They say it takes one to know one.
Elon was right about her.
Said no one with brains EVER.

Musk Says Tesla Will Be the 2nd-Largest Semi Brand in America by 2024 The Tesla CEO claimed the company will make 50,000 Semis a year by 2024 - more trucks than Kenworth, Peterbilt, and Volvo Trucks sell in the U.S. each year.
Yes, and then Covid added two or three years to everyone's plans. What is your point?
He said it to potential investors. Tesla autos are finally able to barely keep up with parts demands and service demands. The rest of the truck industry has decades of successful sales and service. Tesla couldn't possibly service all those trucks so quickly.
Last year I've passed three of those EV semis (dark green) with a support vehicle behind them. They were moving 25 mile/hour on the freeway ascending Baker hill. Not sure if they had a load in the trailer or not. Assuming the support vehicle was a mobile charging station of some sort, since there's no way of charging those rigs.
Kara Swisher has absolutely lost it. Her interview with Don Lemon was deeply unhinged.
Yep the left have gone nuts. We need the center to take control.
Wow, she really saw how important tech was gonna be? What a great visionary.
That's one unhappy woman!
Toxic
And you're easily offended.
Sounds like you’re the unhappy one
Kara Swisher rocks. I don't like Bill Maher, but I wanted to see her interview.
I hear a lot of liberals say they hate Elon because of what he did with twitter. But I never heard why that is. If you’re a liberal reading this can you please explain why?
Because under Elon it's no longer banning whoever they want on the basis of their hurt feelings.
@@deran1983 Yeah that’s what I thought, but I wanted to hear it from a liberals perspective. They never explain why they hate Elon
I'm not on twitter, but I see stuff Elon texts, tweets or talks about on other platforms without even looking for him, and I have the impression is a narcissistic jerk. Some of his financial endeavours seem like good ideas, some are beyond out to lunch (colonizing Mars?) - so I maintain he's not the consummate genius he and his fans seem to think he is.
@@erikt454 Ok. So he is narcissistic with grandiose ideas. I still like him and I think he contributes more to society than anyone I know. But sincerely, I appreciate your honest opinion.
Because anyone who doesn't agree with them is hitler
Kara you are an Angry Elf😂
obnoxious guest
Her voice is so shrill only dogs can hear her.
As an old non-digital non-intellectual with two traumatic brain injuries, I am always enlightened to hear Kara even if her voice is high octave, high frequency. You are one smart mama and thank you for the truth you speak.
@@pasttensehouseofmouse5194 two traumatic brain injuries - enlightened to hear Kara Makes sense.
Kara Swisher talks but doesn't actually do, she is a great example of what is wrong in America.
She's like you? Doesn't do anything?
@@albrtajc2002compared to Elon you’re spot on.
Free speech haters 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Musk meat-rider.
Companies should not have free speech. I wish SCOTUS would remove it. Individuals have free speech. Not AI bots or Companies. 🎉🎉🎉
Why is Elon Musk suddenly all these bad things ever since he bought twitter?
You bring that much attention to yourself it's impossible to not get hated. I think him buying Twitter was great. It was a cesspool of liberal agenda behind the scenes.
Imagine comparing yourself to Elon.
Oh, to your God Elon? Elon is great but he's also very immature. And he's in danger of disappearing up his own butthole. Be honest for a second.
Just watched the whole interview. I’m so embarrassed for this lady🥴 implying that Elon musk is not a big reader because he didn’t get the same kind of liberal arts degree as her? That’s the most delusional thing I have heard this year. I get that just hates him but insulting his intellect just makes her look objectively insane. She must be surrounded by yes men because someone should have told her how elitist and bitter she came off on this. Yikes.
Didn’t elon musk has a physics degree ? I’ll take that/stems over “liberal arts degree”, atleast stem people don’t have to pretend that their job is important like how art people did everyday 😂
Where did she say that? Time stamp, please
Go watch the full interview. She says he’s not a reader. Ok lady. Then goes on to praise Steve Jobs who’s a sociopath and horrible father. Like clearly the book is a temper tantrum because people woke up to the fact there is a free speech platform that makes her whole career obsolete.
@@youtubemom497, musk is a moron.
@@ColtonWholleyOP said “I just watched the whole interview.” This isn’t the whole interview, it’s just a clip, if you want to see what she said you have to watch the whole thing.
Generally I’m a fan of Maher. Don’t always agree with his take. However he stepped on his dick mocking Kate Middleton last week & not acknowledging that she has just announced she has cancer & was working how to best present that to her young children. I’m surprised Bill wasn’t big enough to take his comments back & wish her well during her treatment.
You're absolutely right -- would've been a classy move
2:02 clip, that was informative. Rethink whoever’s running your KZhead bill, they’re trash at it.
I love her so much
L
Mutual respect, I guess. I watch her on Mike Wallace and him on HBO or here. Both smart.
he said it!!!bill drives a tesla . there arent enough chargers out there for the ev market...hello.........
Good thing President Biden's infrastructure bill has billions in investing in just that sort of thing.
The Hyperloop, really? And she's a journalist? The hyperloop is dead on arrival and even Elon admitted he wasn't serious about it.
She also gives Musk too much credit for Tesla.
Kara Swisher is book smart but polarizing & confrontational so her energy she puts into things won't go as far as she wants
Steve Jobs is really not going to like this!
I get it . nobody else does.
BM always acts like a cheerleader in front of Musk and Bibi... that's when he forgets his usual self and just begins approving the ground on which they walk
Watch the whole interview and watch the look she give him as the interview ends and he's walking away.
I really don’t understand her appeal at all.
This woman doesn''t impress me. Love Bill though.
I love her.
@@Collageartist69 She could sell some new clothes to an emperor.
Yep, even many of the worst people have easily identifiable good aspects.
Can someone explain how he’s anti semetic? I’ve read his supposed anti semitic tweets and I just don’t see it. It There are dozens of major news articles attempting to explain in 2 pages how they can be interpreted that way… but I just don’t see it.
He isn't he has literally been to Israel during the conflict, the media just wants to push a stupid agenda on dumb people.
"Antisemitic" is a pejorative that is now thrown about by people who are on team-Hamas.
Nobody can explain things that aren't true.
snotty, wise-ass lady
Elon's an asshole, as shown by his public behaviour all the time, but Maher did a cushy softball interview with him not that long ago, and presumably didn't want to feel awkward.
They should ban neurolink s the owner doesn't have Kara's view on every topic on this planet
Bill is a “complicated” guy 👍🏼
She talked me out of getting her book with her own narcissistic personality and bias against big tech.
She bashes people who speak to things outside their expertise. She's a journalist. She gives her opinions on AI and medicine. Those aren't exactly simple issues. As humans, we all get our opinions. She's just acting like an expert. What she fixes with the left hand she breaks with the right. I don't think she is even aware of it.
Scared? Yeah, right
I have hard to hard time to respect what she's saying. She's not intellectually convincing
Wow this “lady” is soooo “smart” she can only write about people who actually change the world to pretend to be at their level… LOL
Change it for the worse. You must be either be a post 90s baby or stupid. But i'm guessing stupid.
I like everything Elon does except when he opens up the discussion and makes speech free again. …. Then he’s just a jerk.
Kara seething with hate because she has not done anything with her life.
1:34 but like, what’s why giving elon ALL the credit, is not like HE is actually DOING the work. I mean, it’s not like there’s no team behind all of the project he puts his name on. Dude is like tech’s version of trump 🙄
Except Trump has been a failure at business. He built his fraud on business and owes New Yorkers $450,000,000.00 tomorrow. Lol. Trump is a con man.
Yes Kara, do not as AI to solve poverty and misery as it will possibly Kill all the unwanted Humans Also do not ask it what Humans are for and what is their function, unless you want it to lye... and that will not only break it but will make it stupid.. We do not need artificial stupidity as we have too much of real stupidity to deal with.
Bill won't miss a chance to beat off Elon Musk, or start parroting his taking points on 2020 COVID-19 lockdown rules and woke culture. Musk is clearly a man with flaws and isn't above reproach. He doesn't like getting negative coverage in the media, but he's not going to turn the lights out and cancel Real Time like he did Don Lemon's show on X. Musk lives in the richest and most technologically advanced nation on earth. He deserves credit and recognition for his inventions, but he doesn't exist in a vacuum. Government investment and the Silicon Valley talent pool contributed significantly.
Bill wants Elon back on his shows, that's for sure.
She is California. Does nothing with her life and critizises.
She is smarter than you will ever be.
@@Collageartist69 she is my her-o.
It’s better than being Florida, Texas, or Alabama
@@sawtooth808 is that your truth? Florida has the largest growth of any state by far. Look it up.
He says as he tweets about a KZhead video from his iPhone (three California companies by the way, you buffoon)
Well if you were trying to sell a book, just picking fun at Elon Musk for 2 minutes wasn't probably the way to do it.
This is only a clip, and the clip that Bill's team picked.
She is selling plenty.

Wow, the Elon fanboys are all over this one 😂
Full interview gave a totally different conclusion. This was a perfect example of why “out of context” stuff is so dangerous.
How is this out of context. Kara is all talk who actually does nothing great for society.
Elon doesn't develop the products the scientists and engineers developers do...
Quote : "which i'm like a look in the mirror sir".
KS is the Lesbian Al Bundy.
Bill please talk about the out of control OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING for k-12 teachers that's why we have teacher shortages
Elon allowed free speech on X and the don’t like that Elon ha 🤦♂️🤦♂️
lol. elon and bezos are not scared of her.
This dude always seems so angry. Like he's sitting on a load in its pants. Bill is too kind.
She kind of looks like Princess Liea/Cary Fischer.
The fact that she likes Hyperloop Elon (worthless vapors) and Tesla Elon (my money will be the last out), but not Xitter Elon, tells me all I need to know.
No one denies technology is here to stay, but its reputation as a panacea needs to be questioned. When it ends up creating more problems than it solves, which it often does, you've got to have a better answer than "I never said it was perfect."
She likes all the Elon's except the free speech Elon
Is Bill married? Wonder why.
Neural Link murdered thousands of animals in testing. So unethical.
Swisher is one of those bubble-dwelling progressives who is incredulous that a thoughtful, decent could possibly have a different opinion from hers. She couldn't be more smug if her life depended on it - and its entirely undeserved.
I watched Kara Swisher's interviews with Elon Musk. She sucks at her job. Seriously this isn't me being an asshole, just watch it yourself.
Which one? They used to be friends, right?
Code Conference 2016 for example.@@sulljoh1
@@sulljoh1 I don't think she was ever his friend. I think she pretended to be his friend in order to get interviews. In the interviews I've seen there was a thinly veiled contempt bubbling beneath the surface of the way she interacted with him. I wasn't sure whether or not it was just my imagination until I heard some of the things she's been saying about him more recently. For his part, I got the impression that he genuinely liked her and appreciated that she didn't suck up to him like a lot of people do. I didn't get the sense that he picked up on the underlying contempt, not until she turned openly nasty anyway.
@@emergencyCALL911 I don't see any reason to think she was a fake friend. Elon has lost a lot of friends lately as they start to criticize him. It's not good to surround yourself with only people who agree with you. That's bad for him and bad for those of us who want spacex and tesla to succeed
@@sulljoh1 He doesn't surround himself with only people who agree with him. And he doesn't have a problem with good-faith criticism. He has a problem with woke sanctimony. Are you trying to tell me that you'd stay friends with someone who talked about you like this behind your back? And this is the nice version, because Bill's not cheering her on like her ideological allies do (although he doesn't push back enough either, especially later on in the interview).
prototypical Liberal - achieved nothing themselves, makes a living out of telling people who actually made something how they're wrong.
What is trump but an unthinking deplorable?
Bill's meeting his female self arrogance
Why not just use a 60's Laugh Track? It's cheaper than paying for your fake audience. Such an Ego Maniac Bill.
I'm with her, he's not all that complicated. He's much more weird than anything else. He's kind of like a robot. I think he has a few chips in him that he was trying out that they haven't been able to remove.
He’s a person with faults like anyone else. She’s psycho
There's something deeply wrong with your judgment and your epistemology if you think Cara Swisher is a good person. DEEPLY wrong. You need to take a moral inventory.
Blah blah blah blah Trump 2024 🇺🇸
Love Kara Swisher!
LoL you would, 🧚
I'm going to read this book.
Yikes what a hater
Oof...rough comments.
Of course they're rough. KZhead represents America far better than any other social media, and cara Swisher is objectively an absolute garbage human, a creature constructed only of hate, a bias golem. It's pretty easy to see.
Aww she got her feeling hurt from Elon
Funny how silent Bill went, when Kara was going after Elonl. He knows very well that he must not joke about the mad tech bro if he wants to talk with him again, and maybe has to bite on his tongue not to join in the roast. ☝
Or maybe he doesn't agree with his ugly on the inside guest.
I mean elon is helping the disabled and kara does what?
Musk is a jerk…
Smart woman. She is exactly right about Elon.
Yup, and all the Elon stans here hate her for it while the rest of us are laughing at them.
Amazing journalist that knows these tech morons on a personal level and doesn’t idolize them like Maher and all the Elon fanboys.
You don't have to be smart to see that Elon is a bad person and a good businessman at the same time.
