Elon Musk to Interview Trump on X

[wing2000]

The interview transmission was disrupted by a massive DDoS attack. Go figure.

...so it was claimed.

It's been reported the rest of X was operating without issue......I think the jury is still out on the root cause of the issue that caused a 40 minute delay in starting the interview.....

Musk issued a post saying it appears to be, rather than it definitely was, so yeah could've been something else.

What do you think of the interview itself?

Just saying it was a ddos to deflect the embarrassment of a technical failure.

He did fire most the technical staff, so this sort of thing is not quickly or readily fixed.

I have not seen it.

While he fired excess staff, it seems likely he knows about having enough technical staff considering he also runs Tesla and SpaceX.

It's pretty funny that Harris is mocking the technical glitch in this interview, considering she hasn't been on a single interview since the nomination was handed to her. She totally skipped out on the NABJ interview, which also had a lengthy glitch.

It's pretty funny that Trump would chose that platform after the DeSatis experience.

And the NABJ platform.

And the NABJ platform.

It wasn't a technical issue...

Here's another funny one. Harris is put on the cover of Time, without giving them an interview.

Well that's one version of what happened.

Oddly enough, Donald was nice about this.

While he fired excess staff, it seems likely he knows about having enough technical staff considering he also runs Tesla and SpaceX.

Apparently not seeing as this was the second failure.

Do you think Tesla is doing well?

This wacky interview with Trump slurring through it didn’t go over well with the United Auto Workers.
A union called Trump and Elon 'scabs' then filed charges on Tuesday, citing anti-union comments made Monday night.
If you haven't heard the interview, something is wrong with Trump. it was an unmitigated disaster, he was slurring and sounding like he had loose
dentures.

It's bad audio. Either whatever device he was talking into or the receiver or both.

More of the gaslighting campaign. How many are actually falling for this propaganda?

And we have a “so call “ journalist encouraging the White House to censor this interview. Is this what liberals are for now?

Speaking as a liberal, I'm not in favor of censoring. Not Trump, not Musk, not anyone.

I don't know who this “so call" journalist is, but I disagree with them, and I don't feel the White House should do a single thing in this case. And, I suspect, they won't.

-- A2SG, just for future reference, but if one journalist somewhere says something, that doesn't mean all of us liberals will agree with them.....

Fair enough. But far too many do agree with it especially those in powerful positions. Just to be clear if one supports those leaders by extension they have supported the policy. In this case the “so called “ journalist used the buzz words miss and disinformation.

The government has in the past been involved in this unconstitutional activity.

This will be a hard hitting interview.....: ) .....

I heard Kamala is giving Oscar the Grouch her first 1on 1 since Biden dropped....right next to his trashcan on Sesame street.

The date isn't set yet though...she's waiting on her corporate donors to decide what her positions are.

Former president Donald Trump is scheduled to be interviewed on social media Monday night by billionaire Elon Musk. The interview on X, the platform owned by Musk, is set to air on Trump’s account.

...and look who is back on X? The Trump campain is reportedly running adds on X as of today.

He apparently livestreamed with some Twitch streamer....while Harris' campaign is trying to find streamers to pay to pretend they like her.

It seems deeply unserious to hold these political discussions on social media, but that's where a lot of our highly educated youth get their views....so it sort of makes sense.
