The numbers reported by X are not the sum total of audience numbers. I, surely like many many others, watched it streamed on YouTube. There were several channels streaming it and staying on to comment afterward.
Kamala declined to have a conversation with Musk in an X space. I don’t understand why so many people just accept her dodging questions from people who might ask a hard question or two.
That describes one of my sons age he was totally glued to the computer. He thinks the world of Elon and he wanted to hear what Elon had to say along with Trump. By no means is he a Trump supporter he’s on the fence but I think this crossed him over to the Trump camp. 😊
Washington Post (DEI hire?) reporter, center, Cleve Wootson, attempted to get the White House to step in and block Elon Musk’s conversation w/ Trump. He rold KJP in the WH press briefing room, “I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue...it’s an America issue...What role does the President have? Any sort of stopping that, or stopping the spread of that or intervening?”
=====================================================
Call Congress to get this man banned from the briefing room. Before anyone is admitted to the WH
press room, they should be made to understand what the 1st amendment actually means to Americans.
If you know who your representative is but you are unable to contact them using their contact form, the Clerk of the House maintains addresses and phone numbers of all House members and Committees, or you may call (202) 224-3121 for the U.S. House switchboard operator.
I hope Trump and Musk do several more interview before the lections what would be to Trump’s benefit.
I can hear Kamabla screaming, “What Idiot told Musk I didn’t want an X Space event?” Now she has to crawl to him or his platform to attempt an event close to this reach.
It does help to explain the insane blast of lockstep media fury. They don’t understand social media - they nearly achieved control of it anyway through Zuckerberg and Dorsey but then came Musk and the full impact of that and Musk’s insistence on freedom of speech is only now being felt. There is much pontificating about the Information Battle Space but at least some of it is true.
the hysteria over an uncensored conversation
is so telling
The idea that someone having a conversation with a presidential candidate is a ‘threat’ is so laughable and insane. More information, more data for voters to make a choice is a good thing. In a sane world, Harris would take Musk up on his offer and also do the same thing.
bttt
I didn’t listen, but several younger guys in my company did. Was chatting with them, and they all couldn’t log on. It was clear to them the event faced a coordinated hacking attempt
I finally made the 1% at something!

I was one of the first people to bring up that next morning that both using the X platform as well as it being with Musk probably helped bring in millenial and GenZ, particularly males. These are the kinds of young men who own crypto and Tesla stock.
My one fear though, knowing the types of young men, is that the “gender divide” may not work for us, because the younger gen females are hard-trained by the older feminist to feel like their uteruses are being attacked, and they are probably more motivated than their cis male counterparts.
So, I wouldn’t push the “testosterone ticket” thing, but I would definitely say that anything you can do to motivate the younger males in this country would help offset what I would assess is the more strongly political younger women.
With One Billion ppl having listened to Trump/Musk on Twitter, the MSM is feeling like the horse and carriage industry immediately after Henry Ford rolled out his first Model T.
If X used the data from registered X account viewers, then these stats are probably not even close.
I’m registered a 29 year old black female on the X account I used to watch.
I am on the older end of that group.
Post and talk in a lot of different groups. One thing I noticed in places like Youtube, Rumble, or Twitter is that the majority of the people there are under 40. Message boards like this are mainly over 50. People that watch broadcast national news like Fox are over 60.
Suspect that is why the total freak out. The elites know that the regular message doesn’t reach the younger crowd, and that they are migrating to other platforms. They can’t pivot well since so much of what they are doing depends on central control and X does not have that. Musk fired most of the elite’s kids.
Will it matter? It may not. Interesting though
