SpaceX CEO Elon Musk evaded a question about banning foreign students during an interview about building spaceships.
In a resurfaced clip, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk does not want to provide an answer about a “ban on foreign students.” During an interview with CBS Sunday Morning on June 1, 2025, the businessman sat down and discussed tariffs and much more. The interviewer started by touching upon the businessman’s various projects and their focus on getting parts. However, the interviewer pivoted to an unrelated question about banning foreign students. The CEO politely asked to get back on track and just focus on “talking about spaceships.”
“Yeah, I mean, I think we want to stick to—you know, the subject of the day, which is like spaceships? As opposed to, you know, presidential policy.
The interviewer immediately backtracked and claimed he was informed that they can discuss any topic. However, Musk took a pause and reiterated that he would like to focus on his projects.
