Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is taking a swipe at CNN.
Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon, EIC Kyle Mann, and Creative Director Ethan Nicolle sat down with Musk to interview him about various topics.
According to the outlet’s website, they “write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life.”
“I feel so unqualified to be interviewing you right now. I think we all do. Why are we here?” Nicolle said.
Musk joked, “I don’t know. You asked for it.”
He added, “I’m not the one who asked for the podcast. You guys did, just to be clear. I’m not pushing the podcast on you. You guys came here.”
Mann jumped in, suggesting, “You could be on CNN right now.”
Musk responded, “What was it you said? ‘The requirement for being on CNN…'”
One of the hosts explained, “‘Are you a pervert?'”
The CEO joked, “I’m not perverted enough” to be on CNN.

Musk recently made headlines after revealing how much he would be paying in taxes, as IJR reported.
“For those wondering, I will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year”” Musk tweeted.
He also recently sparred with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) over his taxes.
Musk commented on the matter during his interview with the Babylon Bee, explaining, “She struck first, obviously. She called me a freeloader and a grifter who doesn’t pay taxes obviously. and I’m literally paying the most tax that any individual in history has ever paid this year, ever.”

He continued, “And she doesn’t pay taxes basically at all, and her salary is paid for by the taxpayer, like me.”
The senator reacted to Time naming Musk Person of the Year on Twitter.
“Let’s change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else,” Warren tweeted.
