Elon Musk, the CEO of X, has extended an invitation to Vice President Kamala Harris for an interview on his platform, following a two-hour-long conversation with former President Donald Trump.
Musk's invitation came in the wake of Harris's conspicuous absence from the media spotlight since her nomination as the presidential candidate, three weeks after President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race.
According to The Post Millennial, Musk's interview with Trump, which attracted over 23 million viewers, prompted a response from Harris's campaign. The campaign issued a statement criticizing Trump's "extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda," which they claimed was "a feature not a glitch of his campaign." The statement further accused Trump and Musk of being "self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024."
Harris's campaign also used the opportunity to solicit donations, alleging that Musk was attempting to manipulate "our democracy" by hosting Trump on X. The fundraising email from the Harris-Walz campaign stated, Its not enough that Musk has pledged to donate millions of dollars to help reelect Trump. Hes using his purchased platform one of the largest social media sites in the world to spread Trumps unhinged and hateful agenda to millions of users.
During the interview, Trump did not mince words in his criticism of Harris, calling her a third-rate phony candidate and more incompetent than Biden. He stated, "She's incompetent, and he (Biden) is incompetent. And frankly, I think that she's more incompetent than he is, and that's saying something because he's not too good. Trump also speculated that Harris would likely decline Musk's invitation for an interview.
Trump further accused Harris and her party of staging a coup on Biden, claiming that Democrats had given Biden the option to exit the race either the nice way or the hard way. Musk chimed in with a metaphorical comment about Biden's departure, stating, They just took him out back behind the shed and basically shot him.
Trump also criticized Harris's performance as the border czar," claiming that she had failed to ensure the security of the nation's borders. He stated, You see what happened with these people, Kamala and Joe. You see what happened. They just let it go. I had remained in Mexico policies.
In addition, Trump accused Harris of plagiarizing his proposal for a no tax on tips policy. He said, She's making a speech to say there will be no tax on tips. I said that months ago, referring to Harris's announcement of the initiative during a campaign stop in Las Vegas. This accusation of copying Trump's policy proposal further fuels the ongoing political tension between the two parties.
