Elon Musk weighed in on Time magazine owner Marc Benioff 's ongoing criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris 's for not doing an interview with the publication. Musk claimed that the Vice President is avoiding any interviews that "won’t post-edit her answers."
Benioff, who has owned Time magazine since 2018, alleged that Harris' has declined "repeated" requests for an interview with the magazine, whereas her opponent, Donald Trump has sat for "90 minutes across two interviews". He said, “Harris declined repeated requests for an interview for this story. In contrast, Trump talked about his policy vision with a TIME reporter for 90 minutes across two interviews. Biden spoke to TIME at similar length before dropping out of the race.”
This is not the first time that the Time magazine owner has voiced his discontent over Kamala not doing an interview with the magazine. “Despite several attempts, TIME has not secured an interview with Kamala Harris—unlike every other presidential candidate. We believe in transparency and publish each interview in full. Why isn’t the Vice President engaging with the public on the same level?” he said in a post on X.
This criticism comes amidst Harris’ recent appearances on various talk shows and TV interviews including one with Conservative network Fox. Over the recent weeks Kamala has done a number of shows and podcasts including one with Charlamagne tha God, *The View* and *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert* and *60 Minutes* Last week. In August, Time magazine featured Harris on its cover, titled "Her Moment," after she replaced President Biden as the Democratic nominee.
However before her media blitz, Harris faced criticism from Trump over her reluctance to engage in interviews, Harris’s senior adviser, Keisha Lance Bottoms, defended her absence from the press, asserting, “She’s a very busy person.” However, this justification has done little to quell scepticism. Critics, including Trump, have seized upon her limited interactions, suggesting it indicates a lack of competence. He has remarked that she is "not smart enough" to face the media effectively, and notably, Harris has not held a formal press conference since becoming the Democratic nominee.
