A defining feature of Trumps appearances in 2024 is weakness.
Musk and Trump spoke for around two hours.
It was a free-wheeling conversation dominated by the former president and his weird obsessions.

The talk was slated to start at 8 p.m.
When the pair finally appeared, 40 minutes after eight,Musk blamed a DDOSattack.
He was most likely lying, according to areport from The Verge.
Musk began his interview by praising Trump for not dying when an assassins bullet grazed his ear.
Trump called it a miracle and said it happened because hed turned his head to look at a chart.
All because I put down a chart on immigration that showed the numbers are so great.
I love that chart even more now, he said.
Immediately, Trump seemed off.
He slurred his words and seemed to have a lisp.
The weird lisp is present in person too.
He repeatedly praised Elon while complaining about energy prices.
Its the price of gasoline, he said.
I think that doesnt mean everyone should have an electric car.
But these are minor details.
Your product is incredible.
But the Gasoline, Elon, its the cost of energy, Trump said.
Not only gasoline, its the cost of heating your house.
And as that starts to come down, it gone up 100%, 150 and 200%.
And that has to come down.
When that comes down.
And were going to drill, baby, drill.
She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live.
Trump says he saw Kamala Harris today on Time Magazine.
He says she looked beautiful but then says it was drawing.
The biggest threat is not global warming.
There are nine countries in the world with nuclear weapons, not five.
And the threat from nuclear warming is indeed severe.
But the threat sounds hollow from Trumps slurring lips, especially delivered in a tinny low-audio quality X space.
The parallels tofailed presidential candidate Ron DeSantis apocalyptic campaign launchare impossible to miss.
DeSantis appeared in an X Space alongside Musk.
Both were plagued by technical difficulties, sounded terrible, and make the candidate appear weak and foolish.
The DeSanctus TWITTER launch is a DISASTER!
Trump wrote of DeSantis launch on failing social media site Truth Social.
His whole campaign will be a disaster!
