Former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk engaged in a lengthy conversation on the social media platform X, which lasted for over two hours. During the discussion, Trump commended Musk for the significant number of users tuning in to their conversation, expressing his hope that Musk wouldn't be nervous due to the large audience.
At one point, Trump speculated that there were around 60 to 70 million listeners, although the platform indicated approximately 1.3 million users were actually tuned in at that time, around 10:25 p.m. ET.
Trump humorously inquired about compensation for the conversation, asking if he would be paid for his participation. He concluded the exchange by congratulating Musk and referring to him as an 'amazing guy' and a 'great inspiration,' expressing interest in future conversations between the two.
