Elon Musk took aim at CNN’s mounting sex scandals — recently joking that he’s “not perverted enough” to appear on the disturbed network.
The world’s richest man made the quip during a more than 90-minute podcast interview with satirical website The Babylon Bee after co-host Ethan Nicolle admitted he felt “unqualified to be interviewing” him.
“You could be on CNN right now. A real news organization,” co-host Kyle Mann told the Tesla mogul.
Musk responded with an exaggerated laugh, raising an eyebrow at the network's description bruised by numerous sex scandals, including a producer accused of being a pedophile.
“Unfortunately … I’m not perverted enough, I guess,” the space-travel pioneer kidded.

Musk referenced a recent Babylon Bee headline about the scandals in which the site joked that the network’s HR team was asking future employees if they “are a creepy pervert” in job applications.
CNN this year has faced several sex scandals — including among its own star anchors.

Earlier this month, the network fired prime-time star ChrisCuomo amid allegations of sexual impropriety as well as lying about his behind-the-scenes meddling in trying to protect his brother, then-Gov. AndrewCuomo, from his own sexual misconduct scandal.

Documents showed that Cuomo was far more involved than he had admitted to viewers and CNN executives in helping his brother, Governor AndrewCuomo, defend himself from accusations of sexual harassment and assault.
Cuomo’s on-air pal, DonLemon, has also been accused in a lawsuit of sexually assaulting a man in a Hamptons bar three years ago. Like Cuomo, Lemon has profusely denied the allegations.
More recently, one of Cuomo’s former producers, John Griffin, was fired over allegations he’d bragged about luring girls as young as 7 to his home for “sexual subservience” training.
Griffin — who said he’d worked “shoulder-to-shoulder” with Cuomo — has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Vermont for attempting to “induce minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity.”
The 44-year-old producer, a married dad of three girls, is facing up to 10 years in prison for each of the three counts he is facing in charges involving a 9-year-old girl. He pleaded not guilty Wednesday.
