A key development in the US presidential election was Elon Musk's “live interview” with Republican candidate Donald Trump, in the social media platform X. Trump made many interesting comments in this interview. Trump claimed that President Joe Biden was forced to quit the presidential race, calling his exit a "coup".
Trump said he is not a fan of Biden and called him the “worst president in history” but added that Vice President Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden as the Democratic nominee, is also “incompetent.”
Trump’s bold comments on his opponents
Trump spoke very boldly about his opponent, current president Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race, and the statesmanship of other countries' leaders. When it was announced that Head of Tesla, Space X and billionaire Elon Musk, was interviewing US Presidential candidate Donald Trump live at the X platform, cyber-attackers were furious. Technical problems arose within the first minutes of the live start.
Interview delayed by cyber attack
The interview started 40 minutes late due to technical issues after cyber-attack. Musk, the head of X, announced that DDOS attack is the cause of this problem. In total, 2.7 crore people watched this interview, which is the first in the history of the US presidential election.
Trump return to 'X' ahead of interview with Musk
With this historic interview with Elon Musk, Trump has once again stepped into social media X. In the past, Twitter (now X) banned Trump after the attack on the Capitol building. The last time Trump shared his posts through this social medium was on August 25, 2023. Before starting the latest interview, he again shared his posts on the X platform.
These are some of the political aspects of Musk's nearly two-hour long interview with Trump.
Key takeaways from the Trump-Musk conversation
Trump claimed that - “I beat Biden so bad in the debate he was forced out of the race -- one of the greatest debate performances ever. Biden's exit, it was a coup”
Trump says ‘I think the debate with Biden was one of the great debates. I succeeded by defeating Biden in that debate’. The rebellion started against Biden in the Democratic Party with that failure. This was the cause for the elimination of the Biden from the presidential race.
Trump praises Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean President Kim Jong Un. Said they are top of their game. Calls Kim Jong Un 'tough, vicious'.
Trump stressed on the point that ‘US also need strong President’.
Trump said that ‘Russia's invasion of Ukraine would not have happened if someone other than Joe Biben had been president of the United States’.
If Kamala Harris, who is competing as the candidate of the Democratic Party, wins, the situation in America will become even worse. If Harris wins, millions of illegal immigrants will be forced into the country.
Trump says he will tighten immigration laws if he wins. Guaranteed to create good job opportunities for Americans.
