Elon Musk debating Don Lemon on *anything* always reminds me of a line
from the Partridge Family where Danny Bonaduce says he would gladly
have a battle of wits with the guy he's talking to but he "never does
battle with an unarmed man".=20

A brilliant visionary like Musk taking on a halfwit like Lemon is pure
entertainment gold.=20
