Musk would dodge this challenge like a vampire avoids sunlight. His ego is his fortress, and stepping into a debate that’s built on truth, not narrative, would crumble it in real-time for the world to see. That’s why he’d avoid it at all costs—because he knows there’s no controlling a free and open exchange of ideas when the foundation of your empire is shaky.

And the beauty of it all? The very act of ignoring such a challenge says everything about him. It reveals a fear—not of being wrong, but of being exposed. It’s the ultimate catch-22: accept and risk humiliation, or ignore and confirm cowardice. Either way, the world gets to see beyond the veil.
