5 takeaways from the Trump-Musk conversation on X​

Former President Trump spoke Monday with Tesla founder Elon Musk on X, which Musk owns, marking Trump’s most significant return to the social media platform since he was reinstated on it in 2023.

Trump and Musk spoke for roughly two hours after their conversation was delayed because of technical issues that prevented many from initially joining. The two covered a range of topics, including the recent assassination attempt on Trump, his views on immigration and the economy, and the future of energy production. Musk has endorsed Trump in the 2024 campaign.


Here are five takeaways from their conversation:

Trump returns to X​

Monday essentially marked Trump’s return to the social media platform where he largely built his political brand and rewrote the rules around presidential communication....

Trump avoids major missteps​

The former president’s chat with Musk frequently resembled one of his rallies, as Trump rambled often, attacked Harris and Biden as “incompetent” and repeated many of the same anecdotes he tells at campaign events....

But still gives Democrats fodder​

Despite his focus on policy when going after Harris, Trump’s often rambling responses to Musk’s prompts still gave Democrats some sound bites they are likely to use against the former president....

Musk seeks to nudge Trump on policy​

Musk, who has made his support for Trump clear, frequently offered his own prescriptions for certain policy issues or tried to coax the former president into agreeing with his own point of view....

Another event on X plagued by tech issues​

For many tuning in to Monday night’s conversation, it was deja vu as the start was delayed by close to an hour because of technical issues.
 
More on the soon-to-be-toast Truth Social. Note that Trump, who owns 66% of Truth Social stock, will get a nice deductable when Truth Social sinks into bankruptcy. No doubt he'll use donor money to cover his plump, financial ass. LOL

Trump throws Truth Social under the bus in panicked embrace of X and Elon Musk

Trump's Truth Social financial problems have been there this whole time. We just had to look.

Trump throws Truth Social under the bus in panicked embrace of X and Elon Musk​

Donald Trump's return to X follows his standard transactional approach to everything in life.​

Investors holding stock in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. can't say they weren't warned that this would happen....

...If Truth Social's stock price was a metric for reviewing all that, then Trump seemingly tanked his own company with his return to X. Truth Social's stock, which has been a comical rollercoaster, hit its lowest point in four months during trading Tuesday.

The folks who run Truth Social for Trump always knew this day would come.

The warning has been broadcasted over and over in annual reports, quarterly reports and prospectuses that Truth Social files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which regulates the stock market....

...Trump will, however, feel their pain. He owns nearly 115 million shares of Truth Social, making him the company's largest shareholder with a nearly 60% stake. When the stock takes a bath, Trump gets soaked in losses.

That's what makes Trump's embrace of X and Musk so much more interesting than the content of their mumbling marathon conversation on Monday.

Can't say I feel sorry for the MAGA morons who invested some of their life savings in Truth Social. Everyone should know what Trump is like.

Agreed. They did it to themselves just like Trump is tubing his own election with his racist, anti-military and divisive rhetoric.

How long before he gets to cash out? That’s all he cares about Truth Social.

Not a business guy, but I believe there are SEC limits on how fast major stock shareholders can cash in. It could be 6 months. Regardless, everyone involved is likely to take a bath as the stock sinks.

IMO, anyone who invested in Truth Social thinking they would make money has either not followed his business records or just believed his hype. They wouldn't be the first Americans that Trump has turned into suckers.

Takeaway number six would be,
given all the problems with server hackers and mics during Trumps interview which had more than a few views,

one would think given the opportunity to reach the more than a few viewers,
Heels Up Harris would jump at the chance to get her points across in a conversation with Musk,

BUT instead, we get a big NO from basement dewlling Heels Up.
