>> HE IS DIVIDING HIS TIME
BETWEEN THIS AND SPACE EX-AND A
COMPANY THAT IS NOT HUGELY
PROFITABLE AND TALKING ABOUT
PIE-IN-THE-SKY BORING TUNNEL
WHILE HE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT
MANUFACTURING CARS.

PEOPLE ALTERNATIVE CARS AND ALL
THAT, MIGHT JUST BE A GOOD WAY
TO DO THINGS?
>> MAYBE.
NEIL: YOU'RE A HATER, BOTTOM
LINE.

IN THE INTERVIEW YOU NEVER
FORGIVEN HIM.
>> I LIKED HIM FOR THAT.
HE ENDEARED TO ME SMOKING POT
LIKE THAT.
NEIL: WHATEVER THE PROMISE OF
THIS TECHNOLOGY OR LACK THEREOF,
OUR BIG ISSUE IT IS DISTRACTING?

NEIL: IT IS YOUR BUSINESS.
SO IS THAT WHERE THEY DRAW THE
LINE, SAY IT IS A LITTLE -- IN
THIS DAY AND AGE --
>> I'M WORRIED THAT THEY
CONFLATE LIKE RUSSIANS USING
FACEBOOK AND TWITTER ACCOUNTS
WITH TWITTER COLLATING
INFORMATION, MAKING YOUR LIFE AS
A CONSUME AIR LOT EASIER BY --
NEIL: DID HE PERJURE HIMSELF

WHEN ZUCKERBERG WAS UP ON THE
HILL, SAYING, NO THIS DID NOT
EXTEND BEYOND WHAT I'M TELLING

ON PURPOSE.

CONSERVATIVE ANTI-CONSERVATIVE
BIAS.

PRIVACY ISSUES.
