Today, Donald Trump was interviewed by billionaire businessman and owner of X (previously Twitter) Elon Musk on his social media platform. The event was supposed to start at 5:30 AM IST, but a denial-of-service (DDOS) attempt caused it to be delayed by over 40 minutes.
The two had a lengthy conversation for more than two hours during which they discussed the assassination attempt on Trump last month. During their chat, the Republican candidate for US president in 2024 also disparaged Kamala Harris, the Democratic opponent.
More than 1.3 million individuals participated in the conversation, which gave Trump the chance to take center stage just weeks after Kamala Harris overtook Joe Biden in the campaign for the presidency and erased his advantage in surveys.
