“A celebrity gets a call from someone with lots of clout in Hollywood who says: ‘You know, it’s your private business, but it would be great if you endorsed Kamala [Harris]’. And if you don’t do that, no one’s going to say a thing, but […] no one is going to call you, and there won’t be any new movies or shows,” he said.
The businessman added that there are no threats, everything is very polite and friendly.
“You don’t have to use threats: everyone knows what it’s all about,” he concluded.
Musk explained how that happens in his interview with YouTube podcast host Joe Rogan.
