Musk Goes on a Lying Rampage at Qatar Economic Forum

In just 2.5 minutes of an interview with Bloomberg, Musk tells a record number of blatant lies with a straight face.

This is a short report on some rapid-fire lies Musk spewed out in 2 televised interviews yesterday, which propped up Tesla’s stock by over 3% at one point before selling off and closing up by 0.5% (the Nasdaq 100 was down by 0.4%).

While his interview with CNBC’s David Faber—an unabashed Musk fan—drew much attention due to Musk’s repeated claim of “hundreds of thousands, if not over a million” Tesla robotaxis by the end of 2026, the more serious interview was at the Qatar Economic Forum.

Bloomberg’s Mishal Husain—a much more objective reporter—interviewed Elon Musk via video for nearly 40 minutes at the event in Qatar yesterday, and managed to get under his skin so much that it evoked a half dozen lies or so just in the first several minutes and dozens more thereafter (full interview below in Exhibit 1).
