The reviews are rolling in for Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s nearly two-hour conversation broadcast on Twitter X on Monday night, and historians are calling it “the interview no one asked for.”
The chat marked Trump’s official return to X — you know, the social media site he helped turn into an alt-right cesspool, then got banned from until Musk reinstated his account.
(Until now, the orange-faced Cheeto was exclusively posting on his anti-cancel culture flop app, Truth Social, though the Harris-Walz campaign’s rising popularity has him resorting to new lows.)
Politics, but make it gay!

While the discussion on X’s Spaces reportedly peaked at more than 1 million listeners, it was plagued by technical glitches, a delayed start time, and an onslaught of GOP propaganda.
Notably, Trump slurred his words and sounded especially tired throughout the hot mess of an interview.
As he told his doting Tesla-owning fanboy, he plans to end the Department of Education — a central tenet of the extremely terrifying Project 2025 — and branded Kamala Harris as a “San Francisco liberal.”
Of course, the Harris campaign quickly responded with a “statement on… whatever that was.” LOL.
“Donald Trump’s extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda is a feature not a glitch of his campaign, which was on full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com,” Harris’ statement read.
Furthermore, the Vice President’s campaign read Musk for filth, calling him a “self-obsessed rich [guy] who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.”
Get him!
Fittingly, Musk’s newfound adoration for Trump contradicts an actual tweet written on the platform he owns from July 2022, in which he said the Republican nominee “would be 82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America.”
Awkward!
As it turns out, many Americans were just as unimpressed by the circus sideshow as the Harris campaign was.
While Mary Trump poked fun at the quote-unquote interview, Pete Buttigieg focused on Trump’s comments to Musk about firing workers who go on strike.
“This is what Donald Trump thinks of collective bargaining,” he pointed out.
Meanwhile, LGBTQ+ comedian Guy Branum quipped that the two men “want us to know that if Trump is not elected, this country may lose all chance of maintaining authoritarian despotism.”
Which makes sense considering Musk, who hosted the interview after publicly endorsing Trump, also allegedly donates around $45 million a month to a pro-Trump super PAC.
So, the best Trump can do is lie in an audio-only interview on a flop social media site with an egomaniac billionaire?
Unfortunately, it gets worse.
While George Santos — gay Republican and certified laughing stock of D.C. — showed support for the former president, even he was “not surprised” by Twitter X’s technical failures.
“I hope Elon has really good book keeping,” Santos wrote. “I’d also suggest expanding the in house legal team… Tonight pissed a lot of people off.”
You know it’s really bad when George Santos is giving you legal advice!

Truth. Period.

I had a steadfast rule of not engaging in any discussion that included a platform the began with the word “Twit” because to me, that just summed up the intelligence of the user demographic. To adjust that rule to the current environment, I will not engage in any discussion based on a platform named utilizing a single letter that, during the American Civil War, was used in place of an official signature for the uneducated conscripted citizens who did not know how to read or write.
The particular social media platform in question has only de-evolved since Elmo put his hands on it.

At the very least, Trump could’ve put his partial in for the interview.

A total debacle, like Musk’s tenure at
TwitterX and DJT’s 2017-2021 presidency.

Elon Musk on Tuesday morning announced that the combined views of his interview with Trump is one billion!
This was a HUGE win for President Trump and America – to hear from the former president without the constant gotcha questions from the Pravda-US media.
But it gets even better…
This morning, Elon Musk invited Miss Word Salad to hold a Twitter Space with him.
‘Happy to host Kamala on an Spaces too” — Elon Musk
Kamala has nothing on her schedule today. Why won’t she talk to the media? Why won’t she commit to more than one presidential debate? Why does she keep reading the same campaign rally speech off the teleprompter? Why is she not doing anything that is not scripted for her?

Oh! Trump will have to move to Russia and mess up Vladimir Pee-uw-tin!

lol “one billion viewers” That’s a joke, just like two on the show.

“One billion” viewers–
a rabbit pulled out of
Elon’s backside!

“When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean,” Fain said in a statement. “Both Trump and Musk want working class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It’s disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns.”
RIGHT ON!

Day 24:
Where are you Kamala? America awaits. What are you afraid of?

@Woody : They didn’t get one billion views. At most, they had a few million engagements. Musk is being hyperbolic.
Musk has already endorsed Trump so Harris is way too smart to appear in the lion’s den. You and other right-wingers keep referring to her teleprompter. Again, Trump uses one on the stump, so why shouldn’t she? In fact, Trump was using a teleprompter when shot in Pennsylvania, and it has been theorized his ear may have been cut with a glass shard from the teleprompter instead of being pierced by a bullet.
This will be the second high profile interview Musk has hosted on Twitter Spaces. Both have been technical failures. Why can Zoom handle all their traffic but not Twitter? Musk even concocted a DDOS cyber-attack to explain it away. That turned out to be another verified lie.

Elon Musk didn’t say there were a billion views, there couldn’t be a billion views, it was audio only. What he did say was the number of times it was listened to combined with the discussions (tweets about it) hit one billion. If you look at what was trending on x it was entirely negative. People were making fun of what a mess it was.
Power woody doesn’t know how the internet works.

How dense can people be?!? It is right there, on this page, in black and white as to what I wrote.
“Elon Musk on Tuesday morning announced that the COMBINED VIEWS of his interview with Trump is one billion!”
Remember boys and girls, reading comprehension is your friend.

@storm45701
No one is criticizing Kamala (or any politician) from using a teleprompter on the campaign trail or delivering a speech. What me, and other “right-wingers” are criticizing is her inability to speak at all without one!
It is now Day 24 that Kamala has not taken any questions from the press or given any interviews! Everything is scripted. Is it any wonder she has only agreed to one debate to the three that Trump has proposed.
Trump just spoke off the cuff for over an hour with Elon Musk. Vance just went on three Sunday morning shows and sat down for three very adversarial interviews. Neither one had a script or teleprompter. Something that Harris (and Walz) won’t or can’t do.
Harris is on the cover of ‘Time’ magazine. The dying left-wing rag did a slobbering story of Harris and her campaign. Naturally, they wanted to do an ad nauseum interview with Kamala – she refused.

She’s busy.

Remember woody….you’ve been caught in too many lies here before so no one believes you. No one.

“ It is now Day 24 that Kamala has not taken any questions from the press or given any interviews! Everything is scripted. Is it any wonder she has only agreed to one debate to the three that Trump has proposed.”
In spite of what you say, her numbers are climbing and Trump is starting to tank. Please expain.
