Elon interviewing Trump on Twitter, oops, I mean X

No, it will be a complete disaster. Trump has always been stupid but is now also completely senile. He'll start making Elon really uncomfortable before the 5 minute mark passes. Autistic drug addict Elon will handle it brilliantly, I'm sure. He couldn't hide his disgust and discomfort with Jordan Peterson's cognitive decline, which is nothing compared to Trump.

European Commissioner for Internal Market sent him this letter today, warning him about interim measures in addition to the ongoing investigation into Twitter encouraging disinformation. Mentions rioting in the UK and today's planned Trump interview.

Illegal campaign contribution.

Of course the FEC won't do squat.

This is the official thread (for anyone watching or following reactions on social media)

How long before the livestream crashes?

Too long, r5.

I'll be off Twitter the rest of today, for sure.

It would be terrible if one or the other of them stormed out angrily at the half-hour mark.

What a couple of ugly losers.

What if they start making out?

I expect this to be as big of a train wreck as Tump’s press conference last week. If his handlers were smart they’d keep him away from media venues such as this as it will do nothing but make him look worse.

Musk needs to smoke a blunt, like when he was on Rogan.

I hope they trade skin-care secrets for their viewers.

"President Trump, how do you keep your skin looking so creepy?"

"Well, Elon, I was about to ask you the same question..."

I think his handlers have given up, r12

A lot of channels are showing it on YouTube. I don’t want to watch on Twitter but can’t resist seeing the crazy.

I assume they will both avoid the topic of electric cars.

Running 15 minutes late.

Someone needed a diaper change!

What a bait and switch. Now it's not starting for another 28 minutes.

I've already lost interest.

Why? Is Elon stuck in a k-hole?

R18 I am in stitches! They used that exact phrase on the Jerry Springer episode about "adult babies."

Ok, poll time:

Which one of these drugged up grotesqueries has the worst hair plugs?

1) Elon "Hair System For Martians, by Martians" Musk

2) Donald "Melted Barbie Hair" Trump

Is it on?

CNN reports Roger Stone was hacked. Maybe Donald had a mental breakdown.

It still hasn’t started? 🤣🤣🤣

A total disaster like everything Trump touches.

Maybe the "audio is malfunctioning" again.

Jesus, “Go To YouTube” is trending on Twitter.

All of the Twitter replays of the event seem to be scam accounts which are playing AI Elons telling you to click on a QR code to deposit your crypto of choice and he’ll double it.

This is just a nightmare for both.

*All of the YouTube replays

Just got an alert that Twatter is undergoing a cyber attack. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Could it be that Elmo isn't the supreme master of cyberspace that he'd have us believe?

Maybe an engineer can fix it. Oh wait, Elon laid them all off. This humiliation couldn’t happen to two more deserving twats.

Trump sounds like he’s lisping?

Musk is claiming some sort of massive cyberattack against "X" by foes of the Donald. I'll wait for evidence.

For anyone who gives a shit - if you don't, I don't blame you.

Trump sounds slurry like Beverly Leslie

Why is Trump lisping?

He sounds like washed-up radio host.

He sounds like Elmer Fudd!

He forgot to put his teeth in.

Washed up game show host!

OMG he’s drunk!

Real time stroke?

Is Iran making him sound like a drunk woman?

These two idgits are so out of touch.

His people will say it was technical issues, not slurring.

President Drunk Uncle

Is Tweeting saying he’s drunk?

I am listening to some right wing stream on YT and they said “he’s lisping because he’s using an iPhone!”

Nobody start-th a land war in Athia, Musk!

Sure, blame the phone.

Sure, that nasty Tim Cook wants to fix it so everyone lisps.

Is Trump taking a shit during this? His lisping is hysterical.

Uh oh, off the rails.

I'm listening to him jump from Ukraine to Nordstream to Keystone, and it sounds like his dentures are loose.

Trump praising dictators.

Praising dictators and suggesting that only he is tough enough to handle them while lisping in a weak voice and sounding 90. What a shitshow.

Is DUMP sundowning?

Doesn’t Elon know he sounds crazy?

Promise Keepers trying to make a comeback. Article cites "The Trump Era" but that ended in 2020 when he lost an election by 7 million votes. Now he's just trying to not die in prison.

“Biden thaid things that were tho thtupid!”

Thuddenly I'm having new rethspect for Trump! He thpeakth tho eloquently and thmoothly!

I’m sure the men of MAGA realize he sounds like an old woman gossiping on the bus to an empty seat.

Drugged to the pussy flaps of his vagine neck.

This is like when Taylor Swift re-recorded her old music. It’s all Trump’s greatest hits, now with a new lisp.

This thread is more entertaining than that shitshow could ever be.

Trump sounds like an idiot.

This is embarrassing.

Who thought this was a good idea?

Just as I predicted, a fucking train wreck.

And this rollout was even worse than DeSantis's. You'd think that Elon would have made some improvements after that disaster.

The Deep State is trying to ruin my president Trump's Twitter talk with Elon! Killary strikes again!

I follow an astrologer on YT (NOT Linda G) - he says DUMP will continue to spiral downward no matter what he tries. This will continue into September. This broadcast is another example of 'DUMP Knows Best' when he knows NOTHING!

Well, if an astrologer says it…

Shcticker shock

What’s the rest of the horoscope? Death or dropout?

#Dentures is now trending on Twitter thanks to the Trump-Elon interview. Also, it can't be emphasized enough what a terrible, tongue-tied interviewer Elon is.

Bitch, moan, moan, bitch, whine, Hilary, bitch, bitch, whine, lie, lie, lie, Sleepy Joe, Kamabla, lie, bitch, moan…

Operashion Let Him Schpeak is going well, I shee.

So sick of grown men like him who do nothing but whine, complain, ad threaten. Fuck off, man. No one cares about your issues. Suck it up or jump off a building.

“The’s a radical left Than Franthithco liberal!”

Reunion.

I'm choothing not to shee Adderall flying out of ith noth..

Fuck these two

A massive failure by any standard. This will have marginalized Trump even more.

Omg wtf

He’s made a mockery of the presidency long enough.

Time for the GOP to flush this turd

He kicked ath!!

Jealouth, queenth??

Lisping in Diapers.

HIS DENTURES ARE LOOSE!!!

Wow. MAGA is smelling fear and deterioration. He’s never rebounding.

Trump said the drawing of Kamala on the cover of this week’s Time magazine is “beautiful” and reminds him of Melania.

A therapist would have a field day with that.

That was something.

That whole exercise in mutual masturbation was ridiculous. It did Trump no favors but it showed Elon to be a bumbling sycophant who accepted lies as truth, even about his own industry.

Tesla shareholders will, or at least ought to, be FURIOUS.

[quote]It did Trump no favors, but it showed Elon to be a bumbling sycophant who accepted lies as truth, even about his own industry.

Did Elon choke on a mushroom?

Please!

The GQP is going down with the Trumptanic. They have no choice.

Of the top 29 trending phrases, five are: dentures, slurring, Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, and drunk.

Looks like it went as well as could be expected.

The weirdest, but most predictable thing was Trump mentioning several times how happy Elon must be with the huge numbers the interview was getting. At the end Donald said something about 50-60 million listeners.

Everyone who was in the “Space” could see the listener count in realtime and it never went over 1.2 million.

It would be far worse r9 if a meeting of two narcissists cancelled each other out.

If "cancel" means "painful lingering death". 😈

I never thought of turmp having false teeth, but I suppose a life of Big Macs has it’s toll

I was kind of hoping for a tantrum/mutual meltdown, but this was almost as good/bad.

trump sounded drunk, even though he doesn't drink. musk sounded stoned

My octogenarian mother has cancer, and on bad days I hear her talking like that: shlurring, shaying eshes like that and sounding fatigued.

Trump is ill and will step down after elected, trojan-horsing the ambitious J.D. into the top spot, a right-wing tool to push Project 2025 through.

R100 Unless he dumps JD as a scapegoat for his own shitty numbers. That's a pattern for him.

Elon is really not the guy the people who live in his rectum think he is.

And how the fuck are they still struggling with what is basically a glorified Zoom call?

[quote]In an emailed response to an inquiry about the lisp from a Huffington Post reporter, the Trump campaign said, “Must be your shitty hearing. Get your ears checked.” [TheIndependent]

Very professional. Also, that lisp is about the only thing people are talking about now.

Why would they release this pic?

You know he is only looking at the number of attendees.

r104 His hair has never looked wispier. I swear it deflated almost overnight when he got sentenced in NY, and it never recovered. He's diminished and everyone can see it.

Say what you will about the people in The Lincoln Project but they are good for some laughs, put the volume on

#slurring and #DaffyDuck are trending on twitter

Noel Casler knows about his drug use

I didn’t realize Elon was trying to get 800,000 incels /gamer bros under 40 to vote for Trump. They really think this is their key to winning.

[quote] Trump said the drawing of Kamala on the cover of this week's Time magazine is "beautiful" and reminds him of Melania.

R89 Notice that the only positive thing Trump has said about Kamala refers to her physical appearance, you know, because she’s “only” a woman, and her only value is sexual arousal.

Then again, maybe he was denigrating her by comparing her to a whore.

Elon is a bad actor in the election interference space.

Re: R104, vain hopes that the painting of two ships sailing vigorously together might suggest other than the wrecks everyone is talking about.

What a DUMP!

The Verge asked Twitter's AI assistant, Grok, to summarize the Twitter Users' opinions of Elon Musk as an interviewer in the Donald Trump interview.

Twitter's Grok says:

[quote] Elon Musk's interviewing skills have been widely criticized by various social media users and commentators. Many have described him as a terrible, weak, or bad interviewer, with some specifically noting his lack of engagement, inability to control the conversation, and poor communication skills. There are also comments about his public speaking abilities, with some suggesting he is one of the worst they have heard. However, there are a few dissenting voices, with one commentator praising Musk as a great interviewer and another noting that he is at least conversational in this particular interview. Overall, the majority opinion appears to be that Elon Musk is not a skilled interviewer.

R115 Interesting. I expected it to be more pro-Musk because Grok is part of Twitter. That makes me wonder whether it's difficult to program AI to misrepresent data as a propaganda tool. Prejudice by definition is ignoring reality.

[quote]If his handlers were smart they’d keep him away from media venues such as this as it will do nothing but make him look worse.

I honestly hear you R12 - but the thing is that the worse Dump gets, the more the MAGA cult cum in their pants about him. It's fucking obscene. They don't care what he says or does as long as it's on the path to owning the libs. The MAGA cult have no floor and no limit. He was right about shooting someone on 5th Avenue.

Gotta love this!

"Our statement on... whatever that was"...

Audio of Trump lisping about what he told Putin:

He said he would meet Elon in Venezuela if he loses the election, is he going to hide out there to escape jail

R111 JD said that Trump hugs Usha and tells her she’s beautiful every time he sees her. JD said this to suggest that Trump could not possibly be racist.

So, he is a creep who sexualizes women and assigns value based on how his mushroom reacts. In interviews, in private, when their beta bitch husband is present, when it’s his own daughter. Usha is haggard so in his mind acting like a dirty old man is his way of “being nice” Couldn’t you vomit.

He’s made a few comments about Kamala’s looks over the years. Said he didn’t realize she was 60. Called her “pretty”. Same with Nancy Pelosi actually back during the Obama years when he was donating to Ds. Nancy got under his skin like no one else and Kamala is causing him to implode so I’m sure there’s another psychological study there. When a woman passes the mushroom test but he cannot grab her or make comments to her and she has significant power herself.

I'm thrilled I didn't waste a second of my time on this.

Has the EU weighed in?

I turned in at the part where he was recounting his conversations with Putin. He sounded like an old geezer making stuff up—it's so clearly the conman patter he developed over decades to try to impress investors.

R122, ww for mushroom test

Trump is basically a fungus.

R116

Read the Brennan Center piece posted above you. AI can definitely disseminate incorrect information.

All I know is my president Trump's interview broke Twitter! Do you feel owned by that FACT, Libs? Do ya?

President Trump is so smart by being besties with Elon! If Killary and her kill squad take this next win away from him, like she and Obummer did with the last two, I will follow him to Venezuela! I will follow my president anywhere!

How about that Libs? How about that!

Interesting that Trump is talking about Venezuela as a refuge, when for years it was the Republicans' demon-image of the "socialism" the Democrats wanted. I guess they're finally admitting that authoritarianism is authoritarianism and that's who they are.

KamalaHQ is giving Tai from Clueless vibes trolling Dump (you’re a virgin who can’t drive)

Whoever is running that account is doing a fabulous job.

Putin's Puppet

I hope Ukraine takes out Diaper Donnie's bestie soon.

His meltdown when he's done will be for the history books.

But in an excerpt I heard, Trump's swaggering account of giving Putin advice about Ukraine of course gave himself the last word. As though anyone ever has the last word against Putin. Not that Zelenskyy isn't giving it a phenomenal go.

^ His account of giving Putin advice made him sound like a teenage girl. 'No Way' said Putin. 'Way' said Donnie.

There you go, the strongman thinks saying 'Way' ala Cher Horowitz is handling Putin.

Both Trump and Vance have a terrifying tendency to bow down to any awful man who projects strength. We could all be speaking Russian soon if they get their way. Vance has changed his name 4 times, his religion, his politics, his career trajectory. All precipitated by meeting a domineering man and desperately trying to seek his approval. Trump wants to bring Kim Jong Un to a baseball game.

All the MAGA followers aren't commenting on how great the interview was, but when Kamala is going to interview with Musk.

AS IF!!

Yeah, MAGAs are butthurt that she isn't doing interviews but is still climbing in the polls.

When Trump told Putin, "Way", Putin responded, "Schwing!"

But wait, the NYT made it sound like a reasonable conversation, with no mention of any slurring.

If I can’t trust The Paper of Record, who can I trust?

^Mourning Joe ignored it too. Mika wasn't there, I wonder if it was in protest. They haven't mention the Sofa Loren drag photos either.

[quote]If I can’t trust The Paper of Record, who can I trust?

The Oracles of Datalounge will never let you down.

Is Kimmel's show still on during the summer? I don't watch it, but a DLer posts a clip from his show occasionally and I find his election coverage hysterical. I want to see what he makes of this disaster.

De-dentured Donald.

Another empty promise?

Elon Musk Got EU Disinformation Warning Before Rambling Donald Trump Interview on X:

Yes, I posted the letter at r2 and Musk told him to fuck off in response, which will make for lovely evidence in court.

of course he did

My hopeless scenario is that he loses the license to operate in the EU, the names up selling his share.

Oh, sorry, R146! You certainly did. I missed that. Apologies.

Harris Campaign Fires Back at Tech-Troubled Trump-Musk X Interview: “Self-Obsessed Rich Guys”:

Meanwhile, the Biden Harris administration are helping the people....

"Biden Invests $100 Million to Fuel Housing Construction

The White House is expanding low-cost financing, easing regulations and incentivizing local reforms in a wide-ranging effort to increase housing supply."

Elon and Dump's advisors - Barron, Don Jr, and Steven Cheung - seem to think that the incel edgelord vote is going to be enough to secure them a victory.

Putin speaks Russian. He never said “no way” to Trump. Donald Duck’s brain is mush and he doesn’t know what’s real,

A stable genius, indeed!

Kamala looks like Melania? I mean, insofar as they're both women with long hair... sure?

How is no one talking about this batshit crazy exchange?

[quote]Musk: “Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed but now they’re full cities again.”

[quote]Trump: “That’s great. That’s great.”

[quote]Musk: “Yeah so it’s not as scary as people think.”

How can we convince him to move to Venezuela today instead of dragging this out for 3 months?

I continue to be annoyed and frustrated with NY Times who did not mention his lisping and slurring, and toned down the craziness of the event in their reporting. Why have they been carrying so much water in the past few months for this campaign?

R156, that was the scariest part of the interview to me. This guy should be nowhere near the presidency ever again

The exchange @ R156 is breathtaking indeed, and certainly needs widespread attention. Attempting seriously to put a good gloss on nuclear weapons cannot be considered the words of an entirely sane man.

Most especially not in 'conversation' with someone millions will soon vote for. Someone who is on record as saying, "What's the point of nuclear weapons if you don't use them?"

But of course the concept of nuclear deterrence would never have crossed Trump's infantile brain. He didn't even know what NATO was until he became 'President.'

Ha Ha Ha

"For a fascism-curious billionaire who loves cuddling up to right-wing loons, Elon Musk sure is good at making right-wing politicians look stupid.

Former President Donald Trump had loudly trumpeted a planned Monday night interview with Musk that would stream on X. But much like the disastrous X-platformed launch of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, the Musk/Trump interview failed to launch, leaving social media users laughing at the collective incompetence."

Wow, the lisping and slurring was a little disturbing. He's melting down in real time.

QAnoners are predictably running gematria on his lisp, thinking it was a comm about Lisp, an A.I. programming language.

Caution, your IQ might drop a few points if you read this.

R156 People like Musk and Trump assume that they will be spared and the rest of us will be nuked. The world would be such a dystopian place with Musk and his cronies in charge. We would be living in shanty towns. We would be bombed and nuked while they hid in their shelters. We'd be worked to death in service of their businesses, thrown into mass graves when we expire on the job. Many of them are into 'bio hacking' because they think they can outlive death unlike the rest of us. It's quite terrifying. I watch documentaries about the Carnegies and the Astors and the Rockefellers - hardly princes - and think 'come back'.

"The United Auto Workers filed federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their comments applauding the practice of firing employees who threaten to strike. Under federal law, it is illegal to fire workers who threaten to strike."

Musk is such a fucking prick. I do hope the EU bans his dumb platform and it goes tits up.

Then the Tesla board fired him for tanking the stock price.

It would serve him right.
