Billionaire SpaceX CEO Elon Musk called The Economist editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes a "traitor to the West" following a heated interview. During the interview, Beddoes challenged Musk's claims regarding UK civil war threats and crime statistics before calling his statements "irresponsible" on CNBC. Musk rebutted her on social media while admitting he was "a little too involved in politics".
