Author Douglas Murray condemns the left’s “rancid” attacks on Elon Musk.
Music legend Bob Geldof appeared on Network 10’s The Project, where he accused the billionaire of depriving the world’s poorest of their “life support systems”.
“That's an example, isn't it, of the unbelievable hyperbole and rancid insult that is now allowed to pass for public discourse or public discussion,” Mr Murray said.
“Why is it the case that so many celebrities and activists and others should regard this as controversial is very striking.
“It is not possible for America to keep paying more in paying down its debt on its borrowing than it does on its military.
“It should be highly desirable that the world's superpower does not remain a heavily indebted and overspending nation.
“I don't understand why so many people find that difficult to get.”
