A clip of Morgan Freeman 2016 that praises Elon Musk Resurfaces

In the interview, Freeman offered his assessment of what Musk had achieved until this point, and told the interviewer he was a big fan of the South African billionaire.

“I own Tesla. I’m a big fan of Elon Musks and I think he has the most incredibly forward -thinking ideas about where we can go technologically. He is, you know what he has done, no one else has ever done. He has landed a rocket ship, so it’s reusable – do you know what a feat it is? “

Freeman continued, “Now we start, and we go to Mars, deliver things to people who have to settle there, just as they settled the old west, and bring back these ships and land them and reload them. “

Freeman may have gasped in 2016 about Musk’s potential to transform the world in positive ways, but since then there has been Musk’s adaptation with Donald Trump and his deep embrace of right-right ideology over almost a decade since this interview.

As for his elaborate ties with right-right ideologues, Musk has become cozy with the leader of Germany’s alternative to Germany Party, Alice Weidel.

According to Washington PostMusk appeared at a rally on January 25 that was held by the group via video screen, and called on supporters of the party to move past the guilt of previous generations, as some say is a reference to Nazi Germany.

“There is too much focus on past sake and we have to move beyond that. Children should not be guilty of their parents’ sins, so much less their great -grandparents. You must be optimistic and excited about a future for Germany. I think you are the best hope for Germany, ”Musk said.
