Trump-Musk interview marred by tech glitches, unsubstantiated claims
Monday’s two-hour interview of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump by Elon Musk on X saw unsubstantiated claims going unchallenged and technical glitches.
Musk let Trump lead the conversation and did not challenge inaccurate statements. These included the false assertion that other countries were sending criminals from their prisons across the southern US border.
Trump used the platform to discuss his recent assassination attempt and plans for a massive deportation should he win the presidency.
Musk expressed his support for Trump’s toughness and proposed joining a future administration to tackle government waste.
Observers say the event underscored the ongoing debate over misinformation and platform responsibility.
They also noted that the interview highlighted the evolving alliance between Trump and Musk, reflecting broader shifts in their political dynamics.
