Former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk engaged in a conversation on X that lasted over two hours, with Musk expressing admiration for Trump's leadership. Musk, who is the richest man in the world, referred to Trump as the 'path to prosperity' and endorsed him last month, a gesture that Trump appreciated.
The event faced delays due to technical issues caused by an attack on the company's servers, as mentioned by Musk. During the conversation, Musk suggested the formation of a government efficiency commission under a potential Trump reelection, aimed at ensuring sensible spending to keep the country within its means. Trump welcomed the idea and expressed interest in having Musk involved.
Trump also sought Musk's assistance in fulfilling his campaign promise of eliminating the Department of Education and returning education control to the states. The conversation touched on various topics such as regulation, immigration, government spending, and global security concerns, with Trump sticking to his campaign talking points.
Notably, some online observers pointed out instances where Trump's speech appeared to be slurred or lisped. When questioned about this, a Trump campaign spokesman dismissed the concerns, attributing them to the listeners' perception.
