President Trump was interviewed by Elon Musk on Monday night. The interview began almost an hour after it was scheduled to start. Elon Musk explained that X experienced a DDoS attack and that X workers were attempting to resolve the threat on their servers.
There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down.
Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later.

The interview was able to proceed after the team addressed the threat, and after several hours the interview has amassed around 1 billion views.

They discussed a variety of topics beginning with Trump’s response to his assassination attempt. Elon said that Trump’s response after his attempted assassination of inspiring the crowd and displaying bravery led to Musk publicly endorsing Trump for president. Trump discussed the horror of the injured and deceased rally attendees and the secret service and police response. He was thankful and appreciative for the secret service response after the attack, but both Trump and Musk expressed concern about how the building was not secured in the first place, highlighting how the roof the shooter was on was a prime location for an attack.
JUST IN: The Harris Campaign releases unhinged campaign email, suggests Elon Musk controls democracy in America.
The desperate email blasted Musk for "allowing hate speech and disinformation" on X.

The Harris campaign has responded to the interview trying to frame Trump’s points negatively and attacking Elon Musk. They sent an email to their supporters saying that Musk hosting Trump is spreading Trump’s ‘unhinged and hateful agenda to millions of users.’ This is the exact rhetoric that has contributed to the assassination attempt, and this indicates the Harris campaign’s alarming stance on free speech.
Governor Walz: NO RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH if the GOVERNMENT decides it is “misinformation” or “hateful.”
These radicals have taken over the Democratic Party.

Walz has already stated that he thinks people should not have free speech to say anything that the government deems misinformation or hateful. The Harris campaign’s alarming objection to free speech highlights the serious concerns we are facing this election. Musk offered to host Kamala on X Spaces also, but she performs so poorly in unscripted conversations and receiving unplanned questions that she would obviously not agree to this.
Voters have now been given the chance to see Trump and Musk having a conversation on a free and accessible platform, and they are now also seeing Harris’ refusal to also have such a conversation while also turning down interviews and questions from friends to her campaign. The stark contrast between the two candidates is becoming more pronounced as Harris and Walz desperately oppose free speech while Trump continues to promote down to earth policies and ideas that resonate with the common voter.
Are you better off now than you were when I was president?
Our economy is shattered. Our border has been erased. We're a nation in decline.
Make the American Dream AFFORDABLE again. Make America SAFE again. Make America GREAT Again!
