Trump hammers 'defective' Democrats on border, inflation and foreign policy in wide-ranging interview with Elon Musk | 13 Aug 2024 | Former President Donald Trump and billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk chewed over several key 2024 election issues during their much-anticipated X discussion on Monday. More than 1.2 million users of Musk's social media platform tuned in to the interview -- billed as a "conversation" or a "chat" -- and heard the Republican nominee for president and the tech titan put their heads together on immigration, foreign policy, inflation, government spending and energy issues. Trump, 78, also lobbed several barbs at the Harris-Walz ticket after Musk, 53, noted that the X Spaces event was "aimed at open-minded, independent voters just trying to make up their mind" with less than three months to go before Election Day.
