How Pete Buttigieg Stopped Elon Musk’s Childish Antics Like an Adult

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had to speak to Elon Musk on the phone to get the tech billionaire and Donald Trump superfan to stop spouting hurricane relief misinformation.

Buttigieg and Musk initially clashed on X last Friday, when Musk falsely claimed that the Federal Aviation Administration planned to “shut down” airspace over hard-hit states. They later spoke on the phone, Buttigieg told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, after Buttigieg corrected Musk publicly and invited the noted conspiracist to call him with questions.
