 Elon Musk’s “conversation” with Trump on Twitter was plagued by 42 minutes of technical difficulties. When Musk and Trump finally began, about a million people appeared to be listening – far short of the “8 million concurrent listeners” Musk had claimed the platform was capable of supporting.

Musk claimed without evidence that Twitter was the target of a “massive DDOS attack” that had made it impossible for the event to proceed as planned.

Once the discussion got underway, Musk repeated his claim that “as this massive attack illustrates, there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say.”

People from within the company, however, said there wasn’t a denial-of-service attack at all, but instead there was a “99 percent” chance Musk was lying.

During the unstructured interview, Musk told Trump he thought his actions after the assassination attempt were “inspiring.” Trump replied that being shot at was “not pleasant” and that the ear is “a very bloody place.”

The two agreed that illegal immigration is bad; that “really bad people” within the government are “more dangerous than Russia and China”; that there was “zero chance” of the Russia-Ukraine war happening if Trump was in charge; and blamed “this stupid administration” for allowing inflation to happen.

Trump also reiterated his plan to “close the Department of Education” during his second term. Throughout the conversation, Trump appeared to have a lisp at times.

I heard a similar report that the platform has severely suffered after he sacked a huge chunk of his engineering staff.

Also heard Trump proposing that the President should be given the power to set interest rates :rotl:

Female Republican Nicky Haley first tried to eliminate Yellowman from the race, then after loosing the battle suddenly seemed to think Yellowman is the one and only, is now rowing backwards by explaining that Yellowman Donald does not behave like the future President should. Female Nicky probably envies female Kamala now and again wants to become President of the United States. Anyway, anything is better than Trump.

Someone needs to explain Proposition 49 to him 🙄

TRUMP: “You’re allowed to rob a store as long as it’s not more than $950. … If it’s less than $950 they can rob it and not get charged.”

THE FACTS: Trump was referring to regulations in California that allegedly allow for theft under $950. But his claim is not correct — a 2014 proposition modified, but did not eliminate, sentencing for many nonviolent property and drug crimes.
