Musk and Donald Trump It’s finally starting… After a rocky start to the much-hyped affair, the former president is conducting live interviews on Elon’s social media platform X… and they’re focusing on illegal immigration and assassination attempts.
Elon laughed when Trump said…”Illegal immigration saved my life.”

The former president was talking about how a chart on illegal immigration caused him to turn his head slightly at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13th… moving his head just enough to avoid being hit directly by a bullet. Thomas Matthew Crooks Shots were fired.
Trump’s remarks made Elon chuckle… Trump has repeatedly said that it was a miracle and an act of God that he took action at a critical moment and that the bullet grazed his ear. Trump said he might have talked to Elon from a different area if it weren’t for the issue of illegal immigration.

Elon and Trump are now talking about Spaces… after a series of outages that Musk blamed on cyber attacks… Elon sings the praises of legal immigration, while Trump mostly agrees and slams Illegal immigration.
During the assassination attempt, Elon kept trying to lure Trump into attacking the Secret Service… Musk said it was unbelievable that the roof was not secure… but Trump wouldn’t take the bait. Instead, Trump praised the NSA agents and the sniper who took out Crooks… Elon said the image of Trump pumping his fist is what America is all about.
Trump also said he would return to Butler for a campaign rally sometime in October. He announced his return to Butler last month but didn’t reveal the timing until an interview with Elon.

The live audio interview was scheduled to begin promptly at 8pm ET, but people had trouble getting into the conversation, and at 8:18pm, Elon blamed the problem on a “massive” denial-of-service attack.
Minutes later, Elon claimed that Trump, and “released the unedited content” immediately thereafter.
Elon blames all of this on what he sees as backlash and resistance from Trump.
Ahead of Monday night’s interview, Trump posted a series of tweets On X…this is the first time he’s done this August 2023when he released Photos from his arrest in Georgia.
Trump is Banned from the platform After the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, X was called Twitter. At the time, the Byrd app determined that Trump’s posts sparked violence … and his account was shut down.
When Elon bought twitter In 2022, he Trump’s account restored …Although Trump didn’t post his mugshot again until after it was released in 2023… Instead, his social media footprint has been largely limited to his own platform, Truth Social.

But Trump’s account became very active on Monday as Elon invited Trump for a live conversation… posting campaign ads and attacking his opponents, Kamala Harris.
The interview with Trump was considered a major victory for Elon … and it came about a month after Trump was elected president. Assassination attempt on July 13.
