When and where did any interview between laura ingraham and elon musk occur?
Executive summary
Reporting provided documents multiple instances when Fox News host Laura Ingraham discussed, defended, or aired clips of Elon Musk on her program The Ingraham Angle across 2025, but none of the sources supplied records a direct, one-on-one interview conducted between Laura Ingraham and Elon Musk; the cited items instead describe Ingraham commenting on Musk’s gestures, policy statements, and social-media antics on her show [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].
1. What the reporting actually shows: Ingraham as commentator, not interviewer
Multiple pieces in the supplied reporting show Laura Ingraham using her Fox News platform to defend or parse Elon Musk’s words and actions rather than hosting him as an interview guest: she defended Musk’s controversial hand gesture and ridiculed critics on The Ingraham Angle following the January 2025 inauguration controversy (coverage appears in OK! Magazine, Mediaite and The Independent summaries of her Fox broadcast) [1] [2] [3], and she aired or responded to clips of Musk’s remarks about USAID in early February 2025, treating his comments as source material for her segment rather than conducting a live interview [4].
2. Dates and placements the sources do show—context, not an interview
The specific dates surfaced in the reporting tie Ingraham’s commentary to particular broadcasts and clips: the defense of Musk’s salute and related segment was widely reported on January 23, 2025 [1] [2] [3], she reacted to a Musk clip about USAID on February 4, 2025 [4], and Fox’s video library includes a May 31, 2025 segment in which Ingraham “unpacks” Musk’s moves on DOGE [5], while aggregator coverage of her defense calling Musk “the Thomas Edison of our time” ran June 6, 2025 [6]; none of those reports describe a two-way, on-air interview in which Ingraham questions Musk live [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].
3. How the coverage frames their interaction—and why that matters
All supplied accounts frame the relationship as Ingraham interpreting, amplifying or defending Musk’s actions—she “played a montage” of critics and scoffed at accusations (Mediaite summary) and treated Musk’s clips as fodder for her commentary rather than reporting direct questioning [2] [4]; that framing matters because a commentator replaying or framing another person’s remarks is not the same journalistic event as an interview, and the sources consistently present Ingraham in the former role [2] [4].
4. Limits of the assembled record and alternative possibilities
These sources do not affirmatively state that an interview between Laura Ingraham and Elon Musk never occurred at any time, only that the particular pieces reviewed document Ingraham’s commentary and televised defenses or reaction segments on January–June 2025 without recording a one-on-one interview [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. It remains possible—outside the provided reporting—that Musk appeared on a different program, podcast, private event, or an earlier/later Ingraham broadcast not covered by these items; the current sourcing simply does not supply evidence of such an interview.
5. Bottom line: answer to the question posed
Based on the reporting supplied, no verified instance of Laura Ingraham conducting an on-air interview with Elon Musk is documented; what is documented are multiple occasions when Ingraham used her Fox News show to defend, analyze, or play clips of Musk (January 23, 2025; February 4, 2025; May 31, 2025; reports aggregated June 6, 2025) but not to host him in a recorded interview format according to the cited sources [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. If confirmation of a specific interview date and location is required beyond this set of articles, further searching of primary broadcast logs, Fox News archives, or Musk’s public appearances would be necessary because the current reporting does not provide that evidence.
