As the year draws to a close, we are bringing you one of Mishal
Husain’s biggest conversations of the year, in full. In May 2025,
Elon Musk joined Bloomberg's Qatar Economic Forum, in a rare
media appearance.

He remains as consequential a global figure today, as he was
then, even if he is no longer working with Donald Trump.

Within 10 days of this conversation, he had left DOGE, the
Department of Government Efficiency, and soon after that he was
publicly trading insults with the president.

Musk talked about Tesla, his ambitions for SpaceX and Starlink
and his political spending.

live audience, and as a result, the audio quality may
