And now people and for women. And now john boyne has apologised and said, look, no excuses , no said, look, no excuses, no evasions, you were right. I was wrong.

Well, look, weve got another question now from nawshaba nawshaba. Hello elan musk have hello. Does elan musk have a right to be upset over the downfall of x revenue . Downfall of x revenue . Ah, well, thats so elon musk has claims hes lost. I think hes saying 22 billion. 22 billion because the Anti Defamation League has implied or insinuated that he is not. He necessarily , but that not. He necessarily, but that the platform is anti semitic or that the platform x, which used to be twitter , is enabling to be twitter, is enabling anti semitic speech , which, um, anti semitic speech, which, um, its a tricky one this now im actually speaking to someone later on about this. Im going to have a full discussion about it. But bruce, do you have any thoughts about this in particular . Thoughts about this in parwell, . Think even before thoughts about this in parwell, . Think even before any well, i think even before any of i hes ruined of that, i think hes ruined twitter. You think so . Yeah, no, i do. Why is it called x . I really do. Why is it called x . No, its not called. I just dont understand why you spent all something. All that money on something. Clearly, vanity project and clearly, as a vanity project and kind did his to run it kind of did his best to run it into ground. Into the ground. Twitter never made well, twitter never made money, course. Thats the money, of course. Thats the thing about it. And hes trying to find a way for to make to find a way for it to make this rebranding as is one this rebranding as x is one thing think a lot of thing that i think a lot of people have had difficulty with. Its confusing. People have had difficulty with. Its i confusing. People have had difficulty with. Its i c01evenlg. People have had difficulty with. Itsi c01evenlg. Into the i didnt even get into the madonna madame x period, so its of no interest to me. Lot of people seriously, a lot of people still twitter, be still call it twitter, lets be honest. But what about this honest. But but what about this issue of like the Anti Defamation League making these and thinks these claims and he thinks that ad by ad revenue has dropped by billions sues them for billions if he sues them for billions, going to be billions, thats going to be a its fascinating, isnt it . So he says hes still doing alright they alright in asia because they dont care. Apparently dont care. Theyre apparently theyre so upset about theyre not so upset about anti semitic anti semitism. Theyre not so upset about anti sebutic anti semitism. Theyre not so upset about anti sebutic haventemitism. Theyre not so upset about anti sebutic havent seen m. Theyre not so upset about anti sebutic havent seen a. Theyre not so upset about anti sebutic havent seen a rise but but i havent seen a rise in hate speech or whatever we want to call it. It twitter when they isnt it twitter when they say youre anti semitic, it really theyre really i think what theyre saying youre not policing saying is youre not policing twitter way like. Twitter the way we would like. Yes. Well thats. Is it free speech or isnt it . You know . Yes. Well, im going to be talking to someone this talking to someone about this later the later because one of the accounts that the adl has said should banned actually an should be banned is actually an account tiktok, account called libs of tiktok, which an orthodox which is run by an Orthodox Jewish woman. Is jewish woman. So it is confusing. I was just about to say did actually make say twitter did actually make money when elon bought it because for a huge because he bought it for a huge amount because he bought it for a huge am� het because he bought it for a huge am� he did. He thats true. He did. He thats true. He did. He thats true. Yeah. They made a fortune. Yeah. They made a fortune. Then. Then. Absolutely billions. But, you know, afford its like know, he can afford its like pocket change him. Pocket change to him. Have been in a well, have you been in a tesla. No so should i. So should i. Yeah, its good. Its good. Yeah, its good. Its good. Yeah. All right. Well, well done for the tesla. Our next question from jerry. Wheres question is from jerry. Wheres jerry . Hi, jerry. Its Jimmy Saville. Too grim for well. Oh, well. Oh, well. Well, mean, so basically, well, i mean, so basically, the bbc are making this new Jimmy Saville documentary, not documentary. A drama. Documentary. Its like a drama. A steve coogan is a drama. Steve coogan is playing, which i dont playing, which i just dont understand put understand why youd want to put yourself part. Yourself up for that part. No. Oh, no. oh, no. People play jack the but people play jack the ripper and you know. Yeah. Is, i read an strange thing is, i read an article that said theyre using some victims of savile. Some of the victims of savile. Are performing in this. Yeah. Which thought id which is just. I thought id misread that bizarre . Misread it. Isnt that bizarre . It bizarre. You could it is bizarre. I mean, you could say theyre telling their story. I mean. Well, its interesting whats interesting because whats happened is the bbc executives have actually, have come in and said, actually, we you to were talking we want you to were talking about the filmmakers here. Theyre saying they want they want script theyre saying they want they wanreshoot script theyre saying they want they wanreshoot things script theyre saying they want they wanreshoot things so script theyre saying they want they wanreshoot things so that cript theyre saying they want they wanreshoot things so that thet and reshoot things so that the emphasis is more on the victims than but other than savile. But on the other hand, just tell hand, shouldnt they just tell the want to tell . The story they want to tell . Shouldnt they have artistic licence . I mean, dont licence . I mean, i dont necessarily can have necessarily know if you can have artistic facts artistic licence based on facts. Oh, people do it all the time. Is it is it is it because the story is too fresh in peoples minds . Too sensitive. It minds . Its too sensitive. It only happened recently. So you know, will have know, and also the bbc will have heightened sensitivity because so who for the so many people who work for the bbc subsequently that they bbc subsequently said that they knew. So this is knew about savile. So this is kind bit of a bit of an kind of a bit of a bit of an issue for them to be making this. Esther rantzen am i right in thinking that she said that she was everything that was was aware of everything that was going on . Something along the she said something along the lines was that childline lines of was that how childline came about it . I know came about it . I dont know about came about it . I dont know abo neither do i. So dont scream neither do i. So dont scream at me at anything like that. But. But there was a kind of open secret. Yes yeah. Yeah. So. So, so in that sense, the bbc, i mean, its kind of brave maybe for them to this maybe for them to make this particular maybe for them to make this particulcould look at it either you could look at it either way, couldnt you . I mean, welcome to 2023. It feels like something from the cartoon monkey its real monkey dust, but now its real life. The bbc are making a survival drama. Of they survival drama. Of course they are.
