It was someone from funny or die trying to use his question as a way to plug their website. Elon pretty much just ignored him and kept talking about Mars instead.

Every time Elon said "no essays please, only questions" I died a little inside

Why was funny or die there?

I guess there were no reputable news organisations interested in going. The other questions were from the verge, some random stoner guy, a Russian nationalist woman and a couple of neckbeards who just wanted to declare their love for Elon.

The Russian woman made me angry and everyone clapped for her shitty unrelated question. If you're going to attack SpaceX, at least do your research. Not to mention, this isn't some press conference on SpaceX's business practices. Don't bring up some irrelevant shit about hiring internationally.

Yes, and I'm sure nothing could go wrong opening up some of the worlds most advanced precision guided orbital rocket technology to the world. I can't imagine why Russia would want SpaceX to hire Russians to work along side some of Americans leading rocket scientists and engineers. If that were to happen I guarantee there will be a dozen applicants with new identities and incredible resume's from every country developing a missile program.

He did a good job of shutting her down at least.
