Trump and Musk BREAK THE INTERNET — 72 Million Views on X as Interview Ended, Despite Late Start Due to DDOS Attack… And Combined Conversation Reached Nearly ONE BILLION VIEWS!

This was incredible!

On Monday night, former President Donald Trump joined forces with tech mogul and billionaire Elon Musk for what can only be described as a “major interview.” The event was nothing short of groundbreaking, bringing together two of the most influential figures of our time for a conversation that will be remembered for years to come.

Trump Crashed X

Originally scheduled to begin at 8 PM ET, the interview faced a delay due to a massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack, pushing the start time to around 8:45 PM ET.

While the source of the attack remains unclear, it’s evident that certain forces were desperate to prevent this powerful exchange from taking place.

But they couldn’t stop it.

When the conversation finally kicked off, President Trump and Elon Musk delved into a wide array of topics. At one point, Musk expressed how refreshing it was to have a real conversation, contrasting it sharply with the current administration.

“You can’t have a conversation with Biden… it’s not possible,” Musk said.

Musk and Trump agreed on a critical point: if Trump does not reclaim the presidency, America as we know it is finished. They echoed sentiments that Democrats are poised to destroy the country if given another chance.

Record-Breaking Views

Donald Trump and Elon Musk didn’t just make headlines—they broke the internet. The Musk-Trump interview on Twitter Spaces smashed records, attracting 72 million views by the time it ended, and a total of 16 million viewers who tuned in to the interview.

This screengrab was taken immediately, right after Twitter Space ended.

Well, my theory. The “deep state” being run by John Brennan is deeply concerned about Trump Shutting down funding to Ukraine which will be a signal to Putin that’s it’s okay to March into Europe (more than likely the purpose of the ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON TRUMP). In the same interview with The Hill in April Brennan was absolutely overflowing with hatred for Trump, said Trump was depraved and would be in the trash bin.

Anyone espousing the stupid idea that Putin will "March into Europe" either has their head in the sand or it purposefully passing along CIA Propaganda.

Simple. The EU et.al. have portrayed Trump as an evil fascist. The interview showed otherwise.

Anyone on X knows about the conversation but what about beyond, headlines and coverage is minimal, a footnote for some. For those listening, I think the impact with be positive and lasting, especially compared to Harris inability to communicate, unwillingness to discuss, and her flip-flopping. She offers a total failing mess to anyone paying attention.

Their favorite words seem to be “rambling” and “meandering”. Not a single headline mentioned anything of substance. No surprise there

The EU moneybrokers are worried that Trump will shut off the money taken from U.S. taxpayers and their grandchildren to subsidize socialism in Europe.

With 1+ billion views the message is getting out there. That’s why they are panicking.

Absolutely ridiculous, isn’t it? A long interview about all the issues and what a Trump administration would do and all they can say is “rambling” and “meandering.”

So get Harris to have the same sit-down discussion with Musk! Can you imagine how that would go?

If you are interested listen or read the April 10th interview with John Brennan and THE HILL. The vile hatred is stunning, interestingly enough the attempted Trump assassination almost three months to the day from the interview.

How many were bots trying to crash the website? I’m guessing the majority.

Would that be what the youngsters fall an EPIC FAIL?

I’m sure you’ve seen it since, but Musk is now claiming “an unforced error” on their part caused the glitch (rather than a ddos attack).

It’s fun to watch the RINOs and the brainwashed neurotics here on FR screeching that Trump should stop insulting the fascist democrats, so the media will focus on Trump’s policies, while the democrats and media insult Trump 24/7.
