The drama arose during a discussion about corporate responsibility and the power of billionaires in shaping global policies. Baldwip, a guest on the show, did not hold back his disdain for Musk.

While Musk was expected to respond with his trademark sharp wit, the billionaire took a different tack. Later that day, Musk tweeted: “Name-calling isn’t good news either, Alec. Let’s focus on building a better future for everyone.” The concise but pointed response showcased Musk’s ability to deflect criticism while subtly asserting his stance.
The worlds of entertainment and technology have weighed in on the exchange. Celebrity commentator Amaida Hayes commented: “This is Baldwin at his best, but Musk’s response was a masterclass in songwriting.”
