Elon Musk and Donald Trump discuss global tensions and US politics
With a delay of approximately half an hour, the conversation between Elon Musk and Donald Trump on the platform X began. The Republican candidate referred to, among other things, relations with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
The conversation on the platform X started with a mention of the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life. The US presidential candidate stated that it was a surreal experience. "I immediately knew it was a bullet, I knew I got hit in the ear. To be honest, I had no idea I had so much blood in me," said the former president, who is running for re-election.
Trump extended his condolences to the family of the firefighter who died during the attack by the assassin. At the same time, he admitted that "it's a real miracle" that only one person died and that no one was trampled by the panicked crowd.
Trump on the war in Ukraine: Pointed to the guilty party
One of the topics of the conversation was the issue of the war in Ukraine. Trump blamed the current US President, Joe Biden, for it. "I got along with Putin very well, and he respected me," assured Trump, recalling his frequent conversations with the leader in the Kremlin. He also hoped that he would "get along well" with him again.
The former president also asserted that he discouraged the Russian dictator from invading Ukraine. "We would talk a lot about Ukraine. It was the apple of his eye. But I said 'Don't ever do it.' I said to Vladimir Putin, ‘Don’t do it. You can’t do it, Vladimir. You do it, it’s gonna be a bad day. You cannot do it.’ And I told him things that what I do, and he said, ‘No way,’ relayed Trump. He blamed the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine on his successor, Joe Biden.
"If you ask me what I think about the attacks on Israel - it should never have happened. If you ask me about the war in Ukraine - it should never have happened," said the former president.
Bitter words about Biden: "he worst president"
Donald Trump did not mince words when speaking about the incumbent president. "First of all, the Israeli attack would have never happened. Russia would never have attacked Ukraine, and we'd have no inflation, and we wouldn't have had the Afghanistan mess, he stated. He also called Biden the worst president in US history.
"Biden is a fool. He said that [Ukraine] might be a NATO country. For as long as there's been NATO, Russia has said, it will never agree to that. Such words can only come from a person with a low intelligence quotient. Biden had a low IQ 30 years ago, now he may not have it at all," stated Trump.
Elon Musk's appeal
Elon Musk concluded the conversation with an appeal. He described himself as a centrist, possibly with a slight leftward tilt, mentioning his support for Obama and his commitment to renewable energy and electric vehicles. Musk also found it absurd to be labeled a right-wing radical. He expressed his desire to motivate others who, like him, are centrists with a slight leftward tilt to cast their vote for Donald Trump.
US elections: A clear signal for Trump
Since Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden in the presidential election race for the White House, Donald Trump's poll support has dropped significantly.
But that's not all. Over the weekend, the "Financial Times" published the latest study, which must be an alarm signal for Trump, as it concerns the issue of economic trust from citizens - his previous domain. The Democrats, thanks to Harris, took the lead for the first time in a year since the beginning of conducting polls.
