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.

But Van Jones says that Trump is “failing and Flailing”.

72 million simultaneous viewers would be a virtually the same as a DDOS attack for most services. If you heap a denial of service traffic on top of the organic streaming, it’s really not a surprise.

Meanwhile on the usual places “Harris Surge” the movie is playing daily.

It’s an entertaining movie and a sequel to that other hit “Let’s Go Brandon.”

Could someone explain why the EU was so concerned about this interview? Was anything said in the interview that would be panic-inducing to the EU?

Anything that doesn't adhere to socialist dogma induces panic in socialists.

Yes. Apparently Trump continued to breathe during, and after, the interview.

The EU is not happy..

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.

The EU and leftists want control. This interview wasn’t about their agenda.

Nor is the media! Look at the collection of headlines:

Consider the multiplier effect. There were, and continue to be, comments and even retweets about various aspects of the nearly three-hour presentation, even in spite of the attempted Denial of Service.

The floodgates are open worldwide, with many people hearing only for the first time the real, unvarnished dialogue between Trump and Musk.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk do not know the meaning of “failling and flailing”.

And just WHO were the "certain forces"? Guesses, everybody?

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

I haven’t watched yet, but based on Trump’s positions, most of the conversation would be panic-inducing. Anything that veers outside their narrow world-view applies.
