How’s this going to go down with the millions that don’t eat because they can’t afford it? A miserable attempt by a multi-millionaire at trying to relate to the ordinary person.

    It’s only some fluff about his diet, not a dig at food poverty. Lots of people from all walks of life do the same for health reasons. I wouldn’t take it too seriously.

      Still seems a bit tone deaf to be use that as a talking point in the current climate.

      There’s plenty of people missing meals in this country and not by choice.

        Is he? From the clip he seems a lot more interested in talking about the vape ban than comenting on his own diet.

    I’m willing to believe this is sincere on his part (I know non-politician south Asians who do a weekly fast).

    He admitted he also has “a weakness for sugary things”.

    Stop the presses!

      Say what you like about him but he’s clearly not stupid.

      You’re no better than the morons that call Musk a bad businessman.

      There’s plenty of good reasons to insult these people, let’s keep them based in reality.
