Trump and Musk RECAP: Slurring Donald and giggling Elon shower each other with compliments in bizarre two-hour ramble that was overshadowed by technical failures

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign put out a statement Monday night after former President Donald Trump spoke with X's Elon Musk for just over two hours.

The Harris campaign called attention to some of the technical glitches that Musk attributed to a cyber-attack ahead of the planned 8 p.m. ET start time.

Donald Trump’s extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda is a feature not a glitch of his campaign, which was on full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com.

Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself - self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.

Former President Donald Trump and X's Elon Musk talked for just over two hours Monday night in a wide-ranging discussion on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

The two finally signed off after showering each other with compliments.

'You've definitely got a fertile mind,' Trump told Musk. 'You can I can talk about tunnels, rockets and electric cars. So many things. And now you're into the AI. That's going to be a beauty. So it's an amazing thing you've done.'

Musk explained as he concluded the call why he decided to endorse Trump - making a public pronouncement the same day the ex-president was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.

'I think we're at a fork in the road of destiny, of civilization, and I think we need to take the right path and I think you're the right path,' the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla said.

Trump pushed that the November 5 election 'will be the most important day in the history of our country.'

'If we don't win, I just feel so sorry for everybody,' Trump said.

Former President Donald Trump floated that Vice President Kamala Harris resembled his wife on Time's new cover.

'She's terrible,' Trump remarked of Harris during his Monday night interview on X with Elon Musk.

He then pointed out that Time made Harris its cover girl.

'She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live. It was a drawing. And actually, she looked very much like a great first lady Melania,' Trump said.

'She didn't look, she didn't look, she didn't look like Camilla,' he continued, mispronouncing 'Kamala' so that it sounded like King Charles' wife.

'That's right. But, of course, she's a beautiful woman, so we'll leave it at that, right?' Trump added.

Former President Donald Trump ridiculed President Joe Biden for lounging in a beach chair over the weekend.

Trump said 81-year-old Biden was 'close to vegetable stage,' during his Monday night interview with X's Elon Musk.

'I looked at him today on the beach and I said, "Why would anybody allow him?" ...it looks so bad,' Trump said.

The GOP nominee has long mocked Biden for the president's beach days, suggesting the Democrat can't lift up his fold-out beach chair.

Biden has a vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

He was also out biking over the weekend, returning to the White House early Monday.

Former President Donald Trump suggested that Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, would figure out a way to install solar panels on his electric cars.

I'm sort of waiting for you to come up with solar panels on the roofs of your cars and on the trunks of the cars.

In a long-winded discussion of climate change, Musk said he believed that solar power would become the 'majority of U.S. energy generation in the future.'

Trump listened respectfully before suggesting cars could have solar panels installed on them.

Historically, Trump has complained about green energy sources, especially windmills.

The GOP nominee also said that he believed 'nuclear warming' is a bigger problem than global warming, pushing that the U.S. is close to nuclear war, potentially with China and Russia.

Listeners of former President Donald Trump's Monday night interview with Elon Musk noticed that the ex-president seemed to be slurring his words or speaking with a slight lisp.

It was unclear if Trump was misspeaking or if there was an audio quality issue after the conversation on X started off with several tech snafus.

The left-leaning Huffington Post's White House correspondent S.V. Date asked the Trump campaign why the ex-president appeared to be slurring his words.

'Must be your s***ty hearing. Get your ears checked out,' a spokesperson responded.

Former President Donald Trump continued to call President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 race a 'coup.'

Trump used the language during his Monday night interview with X's Elon Musk.

'She hasn't done an interview since this whole scam started,' Trump huffed about his rival, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

'This was a coup,' the ex-president then complained.

Musk then commented that Democrats 'took [Biden] out back behind the shed and basically shot him.'

Former President Donald Trump said Monday night that his second rally in Butler, Pennsylvania would take place in October.

That means Trump will return to where he was almost killed just weeks before the date of the general election.

'We're going to go back in October. We're all set up,' Trump told Elon Musk on X.

Trump previously announced he planned to revisit the Pennsylvania town where an assassin's bullet grazed his ear on July 13.

'And I think I'll probably start by saying, "as I was saying,"' Trump said Monday night, noting he had been 'horribly interrupted' by being shot.

Musk giggled through portions of the interview, especially as Trump regaled how 'illegal immigration saved my life.'

The Republican nominee had turned his head to look at an illegal immigration chart during the Saturday rally, so gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks missed.

Former President Donald Trump's spokesperson Steven Cheung shared a photo of the Republican nominee speaking into a smart phone as his interview with Elon Musk finally kicked off.

'BREAKING THE INTERNET!' Cheung boasted in a post on X.

Former President Donald Trump said in Monday night's interview with Elon Musk that being shot at was 'not pleasant.'

Musk brought up the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania at the top of the interview.

The shooting compelled Musk to publicly endorse Trump and then set up Monday night's interview.

'I didn't know I had that much blood,' Trump said. 'The doctors later told me that the ear is a place that is a very bloody place if you're going to get hit.'

The ex-president conceded that it was 'the best alternative,' as nearly a month later his ear is healed.

Elon Musk's interview with former President Donald Trump finally kicked off about 40 minutes behind schedule.

Musk again claimed a cyber-attack was at fault, telling the audience it shows there's 'a lot of opposition to just hearing what President Trump has to say.'

The SpaceX and Tesla CEO then explained that the Q&A would be a conversation not a hostile interview.

'It's hard to catch a vibe about someone if you just don't hear them talk in a normal way,' Musk said.

The tech snafus plaguing former President Donald Trump's interview Monday night with X's Elon Musk were reminiscent of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis trying to launch his 2024 presidential campaign on the social media platform.

In May 2023, DeSantis announced he was running for president via X but the site melted down.

At the time, Trump trolled his rival.

'Wow! The DeSanctus TWITTER launch is a DISASTER! His whole campaign will be a disaster. WATCH!' Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.

DeSantis only made it through the Iowa caucuses - coming in a distant second place to Trump.

He attempted to gain strength in Nikki Haley's home state of South Carolina but ended up dropping out ahead of New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary, endorsing Trump on his way out.

X users were greeted with loud music as they attempted to get into Donald J. Trump's 'Space' to hear the former president converse with X owner Elon Musk.

Eventually the music stopped and a ruffling sound could be heard.

Then Trump appeared to have muted his line.

The highly anticipated interview was supposed to kick off at 8 p.m.

Musk endorsed Trump on the heels of the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Elon Musk said that his conversation with former President Donald Trump would happen with a smaller audience and he would release an audio recording directly afterward after a tech snafu derailed Monday night's programming.

Musk said his website, X, was the victim of a cyber-attack, which is why the Trump interview wouldn't load.

'We tested the system with 8 million concurrent listeners earlier today,' the SpaceX and Tesla CEO insisted.

Elon Musk tweeted 18 minutes after his conversation with former President Donald Trump was supposed to begin that X was the victim of a 'massive' cyberattack.

Elon Musk's highly anticipated conversation with former President Donald Trump started off with a glitch.

Users trying to click into Donald J. Trump's 'space' on X were unable to do so, as the site froze Monday night.

The interview was supposed to kick off at 8 p.m. ET. but still hadn't started 15 minutes past the hour.
