The conversation between Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, which had been delayed due to technical issues that prevented many users from viewing the live feed, eventually began on Monday evening on Musk’s social media site X.
More than 40 minutes over the originally scheduled start time, Musk, who has backed Trump, started the event at 8:42 p.m. (0042 GMT Tuesday). Even though it was never verified, he said that the problems were caused by a distributed denial-of-service assault, which involves flooding a server or network with traffic in an effort to shut it down.
About 45 minutes into the talk, a counter on X showed that more than 1.3 million people were listening.
By praising Musk for the amount of people attempting to tune in, Trump attempted to convert the negative into a good.
Many X listeners noted that the former president sounded lisp-like at times. Some thought it made him sound like a cartoon, while others speculated that it might be because to problems with audio compression.
The technical difficulties brought to mind a comparable incident that occurred on X in May 2023, when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s Republican presidential nomination campaign got off to a rocky start because of platform troubles.
Truth Social, Trump’s personal social media platform, was where he mocked DeSantis that time. “My Red Button is bigger, better, stronger, and is working (TRUTH!)” Trump wrote, “Yours does not.” in his post.
Message from Musk: “Am going to do some system scaling tests tonight & tomorrow in advance of the conversation.” This was written before Monday’s event. When asked for information on the purported cyberattack, X did not provide any details or proof.
During the first portion of the interview, Musk praised Trump for his courage after a bullet hit his ear on July 13, an attempt on his life.
Not long after the shooting, Musk—the wealthiest man in the world—announced his support for Trump. After supporting Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in 2020, he has recently moved to the right.
The attack site in Butler, Pennsylvania, will be the location of Trump’s October rally, according to the president.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s interview Breaking News: Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, has proposed reviving the American Dream. Trump stated, “I want companies to build here, and people will go for jobs they love.” as his policy stance.
Trump went on to say that Russia and North Korea weren’t the biggest threats to the United States. While addressing the pressing issue of “nuclear warming,” Trump brought attention to his relationship with Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia.
Donald Trump used the term “fake” to attack his opponent, Kamala Harris. He went so far as to label her “incompetent” for her perceived inability to address the problem of undocumented immigrants entering the United States. According to Trump, his opponent would cause the US to lose business if the country chooses her.
After Spaces X fixed the technical issues that had temporarily blocked Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s talk, users were able to resume listening in. After the glitch, X users went on a meme binge.
During his campaign in Pennsylvania a month ago, Donald Trump also discussed the assassination attempt on the former US president by Thomas Matthew Crooks. As the bullet whizzed by his ear, Trump exclaimed, “It was a miracle” because he had turned his head at the precise moment.
Two days after the former president was wounded at the Pennsylvania campaign, Musk—who was a Democrat until recently—endorsed Trump’s candidacy.
Before his live interview, the former president of the United States uploaded a video to his X account that highlighted his tenure in office. A recording of Trump stating, “They’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you, and I just happen to be standing in their way, and I will never be moving” was also put online by the president.
In addition to giving the microblogging platform a chance to rehabilitate itself after recent troubles, the live interview is meant to assist the former US president reach millions of potential voters directly.Unprecedented deportations are in Trump’s agenda
Trump made the shocking declaration during his most recent X appearance that the United States should launch its largest mass deportation operation ever. In the midst of continuing discussions on immigration policy, the former president has proposed something that was important to him during his campaign.
Expelling millions of illegal immigrants from the country is the goal of Trump’s proposal, which is seen as a key part of his agenda. “We are going to launch the biggest deportation campaign this nation has ever seen,” Trump said. “We will not rest until we have restored order and made sure that our immigration laws are enforced fully.”
As a reaction to what he sees as widespread illegal immigration, Trump has urged huge deportations. National security and economic stability, he says, depend on tough enforcement of immigration laws. Trump justified the deportation plan by saying, “We need to take decisive action to protect our borders and our citizens.” He views the situation as urgent and believes that his proposal is required to address it.
