Critics Cringe Over Sean Hannity's Fawning Fox News Interview With Elon Musk

Sean Hannity, who previously criticized electric vehicles, thanked the world's richest man Tuesday for creating "the greatest car ever invented."
Social media users are cringing at Sean Hannity’s fawning interview with Elon Musk, as the Fox News host who previously criticized electric vehicles spent nearly an entire minute thanking the world’s richest man for creating “the greatest car ever invented.”
Musk recently paraded his Tesla vehicles at the White House with President Donald Trump after the car company took a tumble in the stock market. While the Tesla CEO joined Fox News to discuss the daring rescue mission of his SpaceX company Tuesday, Hannity soon digressed.
“I think you know, it was pretty public that I bought one of your Teslas,” Hannity told the SpaceX CEO, adding, “It’s like the greatest car ever invented. It really is, and I’m not just saying that. It’s self-driving, it’s got 1,000 horsepower, it goes from 0 to 60 [mph] in 0.2 seconds.”
Musk had to correct Hannity to note his car goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2 seconds, laughingly stating that “it would kill you” to reach that speed in 0.2 seconds.
On Musk’s own social media platform, users torched the exchange as brazen promotion on a self-described news network.
