Trump and Musk’s conversation was mainly about how much they agree with each other

Little new was heard in the two-hour conversation between US presidential candidate Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk. Trump was talking and Musk was answering everything in the affirmative. They agreed with each other on everything,” says American reporter John Postma.

So this is not a sensational interview. The gentlemen chatted for two hours on the X Livestream on Musk’s platform. That’s significant because Trump has been banned for so long. His account is now back, but Trump has mainly posted notes about the upcoming interview. He still posts his personal messages on his own social media, Truth Social.

In January 2021, Trump was banned from Twitter for not sufficiently distancing himself from the violent mob that attacked the Capitol in Washington that same month. It remains to be seen whether he will be active on X after the interview. “I don’t know if it’s a comeback,” Postma says.

All points of Trump’s campaign were discussed, Postma observed. He watched the conversation at its peak – together with 1.3 million people. ‘Trump was swayed point to point, while Musk nodded yes.’ At one point Trump talked about 60 million viewers, but that sounded disappointing. ‘Although 1.3 million people are too many. “Trump has reached unreachable people with CNN and Fox News,” Postma said.

The men mainly agreed with each other in the noncritical interview. Postma noted that Musk is still projecting himself as a member of the Trump administration. He said in the interview that Trump wants to abolish the Department of Education. Musk said it could be done. Postma says the presidential candidate responded positively. “He likes how Musk deals with people leaving his companies.”

The interview started a bit late due to a technical glitch. According to Musk, it was a DDoS attack on the platform. A lot of data is sent to a server and it becomes difficult to reach it. After about half an hour the conversation started.
