Former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk had a conversation on Monday about the 2024 election. Here are key takeaways from their discussion.
Trump, who returned to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Monday after a hiatus since 2023, discussed his re-election campaign with Musk. Musk has endorsed Trump’s 2024 presidential bid.
The conversation highlighted Trump’s re-entry into the social media landscape, where he previously built a strong presence for his political party. Trump has also adjusted presidential communication protocols, suggesting strategic efforts to secure re-election. He emphasized the importance of focusing on key issues, particularly the economy and inflation, which he believes are paramount concerns for voters.
Trump stated, “The election is coming up and people want to hear about the economy. Food prices are up…and this stupid administration allowed this to happen. And it’s a shame. And that’s the thing people most care about in my opinion.” He also acknowledged the potential for misuse of democratic power against the president.
Musk’s support for Trump was evident in the conversation. However, he expressed the need to prioritize sustainability due to the growing concern of climate change, stating, “we should lean in the direction of sustainability.” The conversation lasted nearly two hours but faced technical delays, causing a one-hour postponement. Despite the technical difficulties, there was significant public interest in hearing Trump and Musk’s exchange. Musk commented, “As this massive attack illustrates, there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say.”
