I love watching two terrible people have a go at each other.
Their terribility is on two vastly different scales
Exactly. Clarkson is an entertaining old boomer who can be ignorant on some things, while the other is Elon Musk.
Yup.
I will never agree with Clarkson politically and I know he can be a huge arsehole to people, but the man took a pie to the face and laughed it off.
Musk would probably have had his bodyguards remove the person and sued her into bankruptcy.
Clarkson's assholeness is "I like the old way of life, cars that put out way more emissions than they need to, and I'm slightly racist." Musk's assholeness is "Everyone in the entire world is an idiot, I should be in control of everything and I'm doing everything I can to make sure that happens. Also I'm literally making sure the planet has as many of my offspring as possible because my genes are so superior to everyone else's. I'm willing to buy governments to make sure I can control people's lives better"
He still doesn't compare to Musk, but Clarkson also denied Climate Change for decades and only changed his opinion when it effected his vacation spot. Still won't call it manmade.

Exactly. Clarkson is more than just an aging boomer, he embraces a lot of the right wing stances, and of course the “problems that the lefties talk about aren’t problems until they affect me.” I watched a few minutes of him and his Farm show and it was basically him bitching about the government and left wing policy the whole time in front of a camera. Guy can be really entertaining, but he’s an asshole.
