Elon Musk will interview Trump on Monday night

[arista]

[Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump
said he will be interviewed by Elon Musk,
the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
The former president’s planned talk
with Musk comes on the heels of
Democratic presidential nominee
Kamala Harris selecting Minnesota Gov.
Tim Walz as her running mate.
Officials in several states are eyeing
a Trump-supporting political
action committee that Musk
says he created,
due to its failure to help website
users register to vote as promised.]

Years ago, I remember an incident in which children were trapped in a cave. An expert on rescue I think successfully rescued the kids.

Then I remember some rich bloke said the man who rescued them was a paedo. Completely unjustified and quite wrong.

That rich man was Elon Musk. Says it all the way he is behaving today.

[Elon Musk's interview of Republican presidential
candidate Donald Trump was marred by
technical issues that the tech billionaire
blamed on a cyber attack.

The lengthy conversation, which Mr Musk
said was aimed at “open-minded independent voters”,
began more than 40 minutes late as
many users struggled to gain access.

Mr Musk, who owns X, formerly Twitter,
said a distributed denial of services (DDoS) attack
"saturated all of our data lines".

Near the end of the two-hour conversation,
he doubled down on his endorsement of Trump
and called on moderate voters to back
the Republican's campaign.

“Here’s to an exciting, inspiring future
that people can look forward to and be
optimistic and excited about what
happens next," Mr Musk said.]

I'm listening to it. The stuff about what was going on with individual officers and SS involved was interesting, their injuries, reaction time, etc. (Nothing controversial)

[Alf]

So I fell asleep and woke up at about 2am. I put it on and they were talking about the border for about 45 minutes and I fell asleep again.

I haven't watched up yet with what went down, I went to the seaside today and I'm still there (it's my day off work)

Did they talk about the tyranny in the UK under Kier Stalin?

[Alf]

Elon seemed to have a stutter (maybe he was nervous in front of thr Messiah)

He was stuttering and some uncontrollable laughing from the 45 minutes I heard. The Don did try to hold back and let Elon speak, but Elon seemed to struggle. And that was friendly. Because The Don does like to speak.

He has Aspergers, but can't say the way he spoke stuck out enough to have been bothersome. I would rather someone take their time to form cohesive and considered responses than constantly firing at the hip in a narcissistic manner. Trump did some of that kind of rambling, but he usually does better during slower interviews. And to be honest, most anyone would do better in situations where they are less rushed and don't have to get their back up in response. I like the way Elon put it, is that nobody is who they really are when they give those types of interviews

(I am still getting through it btw. I am running errands today)

(I am still getting through it btw. I am running errands today)Yeah. Nothing against him. I only caught 45 minutes of it. I just didn't know that Musk had this impediment. I don't think any more or less from him for it, it was just a surprise to me hearing it for the first time.

If Alf couldn't get through this without falling asleep, I don't think the rest of the world stands a chance :umm2:.

[user104658]

Interesting theory: I have a very strong suspicion that, for financial reasons that are beyond me (I suspect "billionare finances" are a dark and mysterious world) Musk has been actively trying to tank Twitter since he bought it. He's repeatedly done things that should, on paper, be actively harmful to the platform. But it never seems to work.

Now it feels like he's aligning with some questionable content and it's resulting in people pulling ads and, in my opinion, X is probably hurtling towards serious restrictions or even being banned in the western world (and thus, effectively, globally) so a guaranteed crash landing. I think he regrets buying it, I think he wants rid of it.

I honestly just don't see a normal human being in any way concerned with normal human events. I see one of the richest individuals in the world doing "weird business stuff" and manipulating markets. I don't think it can continue indefinitely.

[James]

People are under-appreciating how much Elon being on the autistic spectrum effects how he behaves on Twitter / X.

I mean we have experience if dealing with that on here.

here is a question, if Musk can't get a simple stream working after failing miserably with the previous event, who is going to trust his brain implant technology or his tourist trips into space :laugh:

He's just a figurehead fortunately, "a visionary" I'm sure he'd term it himself. He's not the man doing any of the maths, design or engineering. Just gets a heck of a lot of credit and a HECK of a lot of $$$ on other people's brainpower.

Don't get me wrong I doubt he's "dumb", you don't become a billionaire by accident, but he's not a genius-level scientist by any measure.

Are there any segments worth watching/listening to?

The most interesting thing about either of them is how much people chimp out over them, but that doesn't mean I want to sit through a longform conversation of theirs.

Anything to trigger hate-boners from the loonies?

No, it's very much not controversial. I got through a little over half. However, individually some will cherrypick what they hear from these "conversations", so it's not going to stop anyone having a fit over internet words. That's just a daily habit for some, especially on X, and very hard for them to break, admittedly. That could go in either direction.

Don't get me wrong I doubt he's "dumb", you don't become a billionaire by accident, but he's not a genius-level scientist by any measure.

Most of his wealth comes from his shares in Tesla. It is governments telling everyone that electric cars are the future, and that they are going to ban new petrol and diesel car sales that has increased the value of that company. :shrug:

[Maru]

Rockstar receptions, whether they have a "deteriorating" walking style or even false teeth. The most important thing in the world to becoming POTUS, clearly. Personally, I speculate whether he has gotten a bad case of TMJ myself as he had an off way of speaking even for Trump himself. /obvious sarcasm

This isn't substance and I don't think most of what gets written on social is seriously meant, no matter how determined or outrageous the post. My hypothesis is the more ridiculous the post, the less serious. :laugh: Social media is designed around the goal of getting the biggest reaction possible and the reward is engagement. The amount of people responding in kind just shows how addictive it is. We don't have conversations about "false teeth" in daily life in America... it's not a topic that gets talked about at all :laugh: (People would look at you like you have three heads.)

Biden being senile was relevant to his ability to carry the job, but Biden's manner of speech being "off" isn't, as long as he's able to competently do the work. Though, I think we can all agree the Presidency and many political positions need to have age limits ASAP to keep old folk from clinging to power like it's an IV drug.

Younger people are not moving into politics the way we expect with their fixation on it and this would be the primary deterrent imo, because Congress still operates effectively like a nursing home. Joining Congress is probably akin to taking a flight to Mars for most people.

Nancy was in her 80's and house speaker, McConnell, well I don't need to say any more. Having Biden and Trump at the top of the ticket was just asking too much of the public. Thats why Harris is popular, she isn't a geriatric and like it or not, the majority of young people will vote for her.

However, anyone that thinks this is all going to resolve itself in november is kidding themselves. One way or another there will be serious unrest, the scale of it all is the only thing in doubt. If Trump goes ahead with his threat to deport millions, does he really think thats all going to happen peacefully?

If Trump goes ahead with his threat to deport millions, does he really think thats all going to happen peacefully?

The public voted those two to top of the ticket and voting numbers are lower than average across the board. Harris was not nominated by a public vote, so I think her popularity is being portrayed as something we didn't even bother to put forward for a public vote.

Some want to see Trump gone by any means, which is fair, and this is their only chance to do so, likely permanently (can't see a 2028 run). However, the US is not like 2016 or even 2020 anymore where the average person is that intimately involved with their own politics. The political messaging out in the wild has vastly reduced as well.

I see a real possibility that the federal govt continues to weaken as more people lose faith in Congress that we see States step up more to fill in the gaps. That's not going to end in an Civil War or anything like that so easily (not what you said, but it's been put out there).

Yes, there will be unrest as the govt continues to force weak policy at the federal level. Nobody finds how things are being run remotely "agreeable" :laugh: but more often I hear people say "This state has that problem" versus "The whole govt has this problem". People closely identify with the State they occupy more than the national side. There's some policies, yes, that are decided nationally but much of the power is shared with the States in the US. Even with polarization, people can still see the issues that are isolated to them, and separate from systemic issues local to where other things may be coming from. There's entire channels dedicated to simply problems that one finds in places such as Seattle, Baltimore, California and the like and the argument isn't "Federal could fix this!"... it's "those states have serious issues and they need to fix this".

I still contend the uneasy relationship between the People and the federal govt is not only critical, but intended by the Founders, as we are meant to be skeptical enough at all times to hold the national govt accountable. State power is meant to balance this out where federal govt falls critically short and it's how our system has been designed to function in the first place. Some people may not find that "preferable", but it's the wisest solution we've found to keep a growing population and differing interests across the entire country willing to share a common national interest. We are already seeing States push back with the laws being passed from every point of the spectrum, especially here in Texas, but I think that's a natural consequence of the national govt ignoring the Will of the People and then the States having to step in to make sure their voices actually are heard. The federal govt would have to do something truly grievous for it to rise to the next level, and so far it's just bad policy/politics. Congress often fails at passing even basic legislation. And even if they pass "bad" policy, a good portion of it (usually) can still be pushed back on by the voter at the individual State level.

As for deportation, that still has to happen at the State level. States have and can refuse to enact those orders and it could easily stop there. Perhaps they introduce a lengthy process to make it costly and painful. The federal government's power are often overstated on these boards. No matter who is in power, the President can't simply go into States and force anyone to enact "his or her" laws. Recent Presidents have really tried to change this, but State govts and the Judicial Branch have pushed back each time to keep them in check. This is not unique to Trump. Congress is more often than not gridlocked and so there's increasing pressure to treat the Presidential role as a pulpit rather than acting as a facilitator between the Federal Govt and the people's elected representation. Most often by people who don't understand how the system was designed in the first place.
