In an at-times rambling conversation plagued by tech glitches that jumped from fawning praise to forced questions, former President Donald Trump laid out his clearest thesis for his campaign: Vote Trump to preserve American supremacy around the globe and avoid a World War.

The conversation began about the assassination attempt on Trump’s life. Musk said he was stunned at how close Trump was to losing his life. The former president said even his doctors couldn’t believe his luck.
The former president said it was most likely divine intervention that saved his life.

The tech-billionaire promised a no-holds-barred political discussion where nothing is off limits. However, Musk’s topics stayed close to Republican talking points like the Southern border.
Throughout the interview, Musk and Trump waxed philosophically about the need for a strong leader to keep citizens in check.
“In many cases, the people from within are more dangerous for our country than the Russias and the Chinas,” Trump said. “If you have a smart president you’re not gonna have a problem with them.”
Trump said Harris was weak. He promised the US would go bankrupt if she claimed the nation’s highest office. He did not explain how that could happen.
Trump’s comments echoed his campaign promises in 2016 and again in 2020. Again, he said he would open up more reserved land in Alaska for fracking. He promised to cut back on federal regulations. He again discussed closing the Department of Education to move “education back to the state.”
He estimates about 35 states would be able to complete this feat.
JUST IN: The Donald Trump and Elon Musk X Space has concluded, with the two speaking to each other for over 2 hours.
Here is what happened today on X:
– Trump & Elon had over 1,000,000 listeners live during the entire Space.
– Trump posted on X for the first time since,… pic.twitter.com/5g5R5jzXXl

Technical glitches plagued the first 40 minutes of the show. Musk blamed the problem on a DDoS attack — a coordinated effort to shut the stream down. X did not name any potential bad actors.
It’s unclear how many people watched the video. The concurrent view counter hovered over more than one million live viewers through the stream. One person we know caught the interview was Vice President Kamala Harris.
Her team pumped out clips and memes from the interview such as when Trump cheered Elon for laying off employees at companies he’s purchased that have already been turned into campaign merchandise.
