Elon Musk, billionaire and owner of social media platform X, conducted a friendly interview with his endorsed 2024 presidential candidate, Republican Donald Trump. The interview, which was delayed by 40 minutes due to Internet denial of service issues, focused on topics such as Trump’s assassination attempt, illegal border crossings, and attacks on his Democratic opponents without any pushback from Musk. Trump also discussed his presidency, legal challenges, and lack of skepticism from Musk. The interview was criticized by opponents as a paid advertisement for Trump’s campaign, while supporters praised the conversation. Despite the technical issues, the Trump team hoped to use the event to raise money and called it the “biggest interview in history.” Critics compared the technical problems to those faced during Musk’s 2023 interview with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Overall, the interview highlighted the close relationship between Musk and Trump, as well as their mutual support and admiration for each other.
