The conversation started very late after the X message service crashed, but it took more than two hours to get up to speed.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke for a long time about his assassination attempt in July, when he was a Tesla billionaire at night Finnish time Elon Musk’s being interviewed.
Trump described his feelings and thoughts at the time of the incident.
“If I hadn’t turned my head, I wouldn’t be talking to you right now — as much as I like you,” Trump told Musk.
In addition to the assassination attempt, the two discussed immigration for a long time, among other things.
During the conversation, Trump insulted and accused several times, as well as the president Joe Biden that of the current Republican presidential candidate, Terrible Harris. The “stupid administration” of the United States also had its share.
Trump promised to reduce regulation and said he thought it would be a good idea for Musk to help him cut government.
Musk volunteered to join the “Government Efficiency Commission.”
– You are the best cutter. I need someone who is strong, brave and smart. I want to close the Department of Education and transfer education back to the states, Trump replied.
There was also a moment of disagreement in the conversation between Trump and Musk, who signed up as his supporter. When Musk talked about the need to curb global warming and the resulting sea level rise, Trump said the biggest threat was “nuclear warming.”
A denial of service attack delayed the interview
The conversation between Trump and Musk was supposed to start at three in the morning Finnish time in the messaging service X owned by Musk, but it was able to start more than 40 minutes late after the service got stuck badly. Hundreds of thousands of people tried in vain to listen to the conversation.
– There seems to be a massive denial of service attack against X. We are working to combat it, Musk wrote in X.
After an awkward start, Elon Musk began his interview clearly nervous. Presidential candidate Trump, on the other hand, quickly got into his loose, frenetic pace.
