Elon Musk chatted with Donald Trump for two hours on X Monday night and Kamala Harris’ campaign went absolutely nuts, hurling insane rhetoric — including that Musk was somehow trying to “control our democracy” by … having a conversation with one of the two major presidential candidates?
Trouble is, Musk extended an identical offer to Harris herself.
She has yet to take the tech titan up on it.
Which is weird; if she and her crew are so concerned about the threat Trump poses to democracy, why not go to X?
A conversation with Musk would offer an opportunity to speak unfiltered to a vast audience across the ideological spectrum, and maybe even change some minds.
But it’s the “unfiltered” aspect that’s the real trouble for Harris.
The truth is, without a teleprompter, she’s almost as bad as her current boss.
And she doesn’t even have the excuse of slipping into senescence — she’s supposed to be the candidate of youthful energy!
That doesn’t stop the word salads. The spur-of-the-moment flip-flops. The uncanny cackles.
Her seemingly complete inability to function off-script is doubtless why her campaign has refused to do any meaningful press since she got the nod as nominee — more than three weeks ago and counting.
That, and the fact that less than three months before a presidential election, the Democratic candidate is still being cagey about what her policy platform actually is.
Heck, she won’t even go live to officially retract her support for a ban on fracking or for bailing out violent lefty rioters: Her aides just announce those flips, avoiding any pesky questions about why she held those positions, exactly why she’s dropped them (other than “it polls badly”) and why we shouldn’t expect her to flop right back after Election Day.
The media, by and large, aren’t interested in forcing any of these issues.
That’s because pubs like the New York Times and others are deeply interested in making sure she wins (hence the endless softball coverage they give her).
But the criminal negligence of the press corps aside, Musk can rest assured Harris won’t take him up on his offer.
Heck, would she even do an unscripted interview with a lapdog journo? (She’d have her pick of them, after all.)
Anything she has to say, beyond Hey everyone, I’m not Donald Trump, is so radical, it would horrify the American public.
And she clearly intends to keep that under wraps until it’s too late.
