In a two-hour talk with Elon Musk, Donald Trump claims domestic ‘enemies’ were ‘more dangerous’ than foreign

Starting 42 minutes later than planned due to technical difficulties, the interview former president Donald Trump gave on X was heard by over 1 million people. It has been said that Elon Musk expected around 8 million people to join in the talk that Trump dubbed the “greatest interview ever.”

The X owner and Tesla CEO has been a supporter of Trump, and he showed that again when he joined the former president on the stage at his high-profile rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — the same place Trump was nearly assassinated in July.

The billionaire was seen wearing a hat with “Make America Great Again” written on it and his signature “Occupy Mars” shirt.

Trump started the discussion giving detailed insight of the assassination attempt on him. He then accused the Democrats for violently replacing Baden on the presidential ticket with Musk commenting, that the party “took [Biden] out back behind the shed and basically shot him.”

Further, Trump tackled the issue of inflation, saying, “I think we have the worst inflation we’ve had in 100 years… bacon costing four or five times more than it did a few years ago.”

As expected, he attacked his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, for various issues, including immigration, saying that the current government has let criminals and non-productive people cross the border and get into the States. He also stated that Harris was becoming a “radical left, San Francisco liberal… and now she wants to be more Trump than Trump.”

Trump left many stunned with his statement that domestic ‘enemies’ were ‘more dangerous’ than foreign, declaring that North Korean, Chinese, and Russian leaders were “at the top of their game.”

“They are tough, they are smart and they are vicious,” he said.

Trump claimed that American farmers struggled to sell their products abroad and that selling US cars in Europe was “impossible.” He also exaggerated the US aid to Ukraine and downplayed

Europe’s contributions in its conflict with Russia. However, most of the claims he made were dubbed false by the media following his interview.

“We have a deficit with [the EU] of $250 billion, which people don’t know,” the former president stated. “It sounds so nice—’the European Union’. But let me tell you: they’re not as tough as China, but they’re bad. And I let them know it, and that’s probably why they notified you. No, they don’t treat our country well.”

Though Musk shares many political views with Trump, his support for him throughout the recent years has been off again, on again.

Back in 2022, Much posted on Twitter, “I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset.”

The two, however, agreed on the issue of COVID19 and were against restrictions. Further, their bond got stronger after Musk’s companies faced a number of federal investigations over employment practices, his takeover of Twitter and claims about Tesla’s autopilot feature under Biden’s administration.

Speaking to Yahoo News,  journalist and conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild spoke of Trump’s change of election landscape, which is becoming increasingly less reliant on traditional media.

“New voters, the people who are just getting involved in the electoral process, those are people you can reach through streamers, through podcasts, through influencers. So it’s a very smart strategy,” Rothschild told the outlet. “It’s not the hour-long cable news special, it’s not the press conference. … Trump himself has completely upended what it means to be campaigning.”

Following the two-hour long interview, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign said that Trump’s “extremism” was on “full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight.” 

“Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself—self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class.”
