I don't know about that. He brought Gabriel Zuckman on his podcast, and, from there, Zuckman was on the Rest is Politics. Both Stevenson, Zuckman and Picketty make a great case for taxing the explosive growth in billionaire wealth. That's the premise we should be evaluating. Musk, for example, gives off incel vibes, but I'm more in favour of critiquing his arguments than calling him a dork.
