As the race for the presidency
heats up, Donald Trump seeks to
reclaim the spotlight with a live
conversation on X with Elon Musk

Meet at 8pm EST 
Monday, 12 Aug 24

Sure

The much-anticipated
conversation was delayed by
technical glitches, leaving over
a million listeners waiting.

Harris said "Trump's 
entire campaign is in
service of people like
Elon Musk and himself
- self-obsessed rich 
guys.....who cannot run
a livestream in yr 2024"

After a delay, the conversation
begins, but it reveals little about
Trump's policies.

I thought you
are tech genius 

I thought you
are a policy maker

The two found common 
ground on topics like 
inflation, immigration and
government spending 

Same team!

And Musk proposed
an efficiency commission
that would cut the prices
of goods and services down  

Well, you are the 
greatest cutter

I could run it 

Redundant
team

Oversize

Musk pushes for more
investment in infrastructure,
dreaming of bases on the moon
and high-speed connections.

We can send American
astronauts to Mars

Trump praises Tesla
but questions the universal
push for electric vehicles.

You make a great
product, Elon but
not everyone
should drive E.V.

....

The conversation turns to climate
change, with Musk promoting
sustainable energy and Trump
defending fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are still key,
even for making E.V.s.

On balance, it's better
to move faster

Musk explains his political shift,
from supporting Obama to
distancing himself from Biden.

A lot of people thought
Biden would be moderate,
but it’s not.

The call ends, NYT noted, "(it was)
leaving more questions than
answers about the future of
their alliance and its impact
on the political landscape."
