๐จ Highlight of the interview between Elon Musk and Trump:
๐ The interview began with Elon Musk discussing a massive DDoS attack that severely disrupted and delayed the live broadcast, originally scheduled for 8 p.m. Musk said the incident clearly revealed the strong opposition to President Donald Trump's speech:
๐น "This massive attack shows that there is a lot of opposition to people simply hearing what President Donald Trump has to say."
๐น Elon Musk then found it fascinating that Thomas Crooks chose the most obvious location for an assassination attempt, although no one anticipated it.
๐น โIf the goal is to assassinate, what would be your favorite place? This building. This building would be number one,โ Elon Musk remarked. Donald Trump agreed: โThat would have been the most appropriate place.โ
๐ Elon Musk then expressed his admiration for Trump's reaction to an assassination attempt. He praised the president's determination not to be defeated by this dramatic event, but to continue to fight with a firm will and a spirit of defiance.
๐น โYour actions following this assassination attempt have been truly inspiring,โ said Elon Musk.
๐ The conversation then turned to politics, with Donald Trump voicing scathing criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris for what he called blatant hypocrisy.
๐น Donald Trump accused Harris of plagiarizing one of his proposals, that of abolishing taxes on tips, while at the same time supporting increased IRS surveillance of citizens' tips. He denounced this inconsistency by declaring: "These people are FAKES", highlighting the contrast between past actions and current positions.
๐น Donald Trump recalled that the previous administration had hired 88,000 new IRS agents to closely monitor tips received by waitresses and carts. According to him, this policy was mainly aimed at increasing surveillance and imposing additional burdens on workers in these sectors.
๐น However, Donald Trump pointed out that Harris had recently adopted his proposal to eliminate tip taxes, which he said illustrated political opportunism. He accused Harris of changing her position in response to political pressure, saying that the move was designed to improve her image and gain political advantage, while remaining at odds with the policies she previously supported.
๐ Elon Musk then expressed grave concern about the future of the United States if current border policies continue.
๐น "I'm not sure we'll have a country anymore if open borders continue for four years," he warned.
๐น Donald Trump added that if Kamala Harris were elected, it could lead to the arrival of 50 to 60 million people from various countries around the world.
๐น โInflation comes from government overspending because checks never bounce when they are written by the government,โ Musk explained. He suggested the creation of a โgovernment efficiency commissionโ to review and reduce wasteful spending, noting that interest payments on the national debt have now exceeded the defense budget, a situation that demands immediate action.
๐ Finally, Elon Musk addressed the subject of censorship, expressing harsh criticism towards Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner, whom he accuses of having tried to censor his conversation with Donald Trump.
๐น Elon Musk referred to Breton's warning, who had said: "With a larger audience comes greater responsibility." This statement was perceived by Musk as an attempt to limit freedom of expression, which prompted him to react strongly.
๐น To express his displeasure, Elon Musk shared a provocative meme addressed to Breton, asking him to โtake a big step back and literally fuck off.โ This reaction underlined his firm opposition to any form of censorship, especially when it seems to target freedom of expression on public platforms.
๐ Elon Musk then highlighted the way Donald Trump had handled freedom of expression during his first term.
