Billionaire entrepreneur and X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk interviewed Donald Trump on his social media network today. The event, which was scheduled to begin at 5:30 AM IST, was delayed by more than 40 minutes due to a DDOS attack, a type of cyberattack.
During the chat, which went on for over two hours, the two spoke in length about the assassination attempt on Trump last month. Their conversation also saw the Republican nominee attacking his Democratic rival Kamala Harris for the 2024 US presidential elections.
The interview, which was joined by more than 1.3 million users, was an opportunity for Trump to seize the limelight at a time when Kamala Harris has erased his lead in opinion polls, just weeks after she replaced Joe Biden in the race to the White House.
