……..The interview was planned to start at 8 PM ET, but a massive DDOS attack delayed it to around 8:45 PM ET.
It is still not clear where the DDOS attack came from.
…….Musk argued that the United States requires a leader like Trump, who can stand firm against tough adversaries on the global stage.
“Most people would be ducking,” he said, referring to how others might react in a crisis. “You want someone who is strong and courageous to represent the country.”
The billionaire entrepreneur didn’t shy away from acknowledging Trump’s flaws but maintained that, on balance, Trump is the better choice compared to Biden. “It was a choice of Biden… who has trouble climbing a flight of stairs, and the other one is fist-pumping after getting shot. No comparison,” Musk said.
During the conversation, Musk outlined several critical issues that are in line with Trump’s vision:
Border Security: Musk emphasized the need for a secure border as fundamental to national safety.
Urban Safety and Cleanliness: He called for safe and clean cities, implying that current policies have failed to maintain urban environments.
Fiscal Responsibility: Musk expressed deep concern over government spending, stating that “the interest payments on US debt this year exceeded the entire defense department spending.” He warned that if unchecked, this could lead to a fiscal crisis reminiscent of Argentina’s economic downfall.
- Reducing Government Size: He argued for a reduction in government size and spending to ensure that America does not take its prosperity for granted.
The left is freaking out. They hate it when Republicans can speak freely.
The tyrants in the EU and the leftwing media hacks demanded that Elon be censored and arrested for free speech.
The globalist tyrants in control of the European Union sent a letter to Elon Musk on Monday demanding the X owner censor President Donald Trump during their interview tonight.
The letter was sent by Thierry Breton and was dated August 12, 2024.
Thierry Breton is a French business executive, politician, writer and the current Commissioner for Internal Market of the European Union.
In the letter, Thierry warns Elon Musk, “You have the legal obligation to ensure X’s compliance with EU law and in particular the DSA in the EU.”
……..Do you think he would have sent a similar warning if Joe Biden was going on X for an interview with Elon Musk?
Breton then goes on to threaten Elon Musk if President Trump is allowed to speak freely during their interview tonight:
“As you know, formal proceedings are already ongoing against X under the DSA, notably in areas linked to the dissemination of illegal content and the effectiveness of the measures taken to combat disinformation.
As the relevant content is accessible to EU users and being amplified also in our jurisdiction, we cannot exclude potential spillovers in the EU. Therefore, we are monitoring the potential risks in the EU associated with the dissemination of content that may incite violence, hate, and racism in conjunction with major political or societal events around the world, including debates and interviews in the context of elections.
Let me clarify that any negative effect of illegal content on X in the EU, which would be attributed to the ineffectiveness of the way in which X applies the relevant provisions of the DSA, may be relevant in the context of the ongoing proceedings and of the overall assessment of X’s compliance with EU law. This is in line with what has already been done in the recent past. For example, in relation to the repercussions and amplification of terrorist content or content that incites violence, hate, and racism in the EU, such as in the context of the recent riots in the United Kingdom.
I, therefore, urge you to promptly ensure the effectiveness of your systems and to report measures taken to my team.”
The Left is in full authoritarian mode. They want any and all dissent and speech they don’t like completely wiped from existence.
WaPo reporter demands that Biden shut down interview:
A Washington Post ‘reporter’ on Monday asked Karine Jean-Pierre what Biden is going to do to stop Trump’s live X interview with Elon Musk on Monday night.
President Trump is back on X after taking some time away from the social media platform.
Trump tweeted a campaign ad ahead of his highly anticipated live interview with Elon Musk on Monday evening at 8 pm ET.
Washington Post reporter Cleve Wootson wants the government to intervene to shut Trump down with just a few months to go until Election Day.
“One more, Elon Musk is slated to interview Trump tonight on X. I don’t know if the president is going to — feel free to say if he is or not — but I — I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue. It’s a — you know, it’s an America issue. What role does the White House or the President have any sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that or sort of inter — intervening in that. Some of that was about campaign misinformation, but you know it’s a wider thing, right?” Washington Post reporter Cleve Wootson asked Karine Jean-Pierre.
Karine Jean-Pierre went along with the far-left reporter and agreed that social media companies have the responsibility to shut down so-called misinformation.
“Yeah, no, I mean, you’ve heard us talk about this many times from here about the responsibilities that social media platforms have when it comes to misinformation, disinformation. I don’t have anything to read out from here about specific ways that we’re working on it, but we believe that that they have the responsibility,” Karine Jean-Pierre added.
KJP continued, “These are private companies, so we’re also mindful of that too, but look — it is — I think it is incredibly important to call that out as you’re — you’re doing. I just don’t have any specifics on what we have been doing internally as it relates to the interviews, not something that I’m tracking, and I’m sure the President’s not tracking it either.”
Musk threw a huge wrench into the leftwing media and government machinery.
The intimidation and censorship by government agencies and their media tools is unprecedented.
“Disinformation” is what the autocracy says it is.
