Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s X Conversation Took Forever to Start, Then Never Ended
WiredIn a rambling, two-hour-plus conversation in an X Space, Elon Musk caved to former president Donald Trump on policy issues that directly affect the billionaire’s businesses, like energy policy and climate change. By the time Musk started the conversation, around 1 million people were listening to it live, despite Trump’s suggestion that “millions” of people had joined the Space. In several follow-up X posts, Musk said that the platform was stress-tested to withstand at least “8 million concurrent listeners.” Musk delayed the conversation several times and said that the full audio would be made available after the call. The Kamala Harris campaign spent the evening on Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, reposting comments the former president made disparaging DeSantis’ Space with Musk last year.
