This morning, Musk and former US President Donald Trump had a Space conversation on the X platform. The conversation lasted more than two hours. The X interface showed that there were up to 1.2 million people online, and Musk said in Space that more than 60 million people were listening. Space has limits on the number of people displayed.

During the conversation, because Musk habitually responded to Trump with "yeah", the market value of the newly launched meme coin YEAH exceeded 2 million US dollars within 20 minutes, but then fell rapidly.

In this Space, Musk first explained that Twitter suffered a large-scale server network attack, then started talking about Trump's assassination attempt, and talked about various social and political issues such as illegal immigration, border security, economic challenges, and global security. The conversation did not mention the development of the cryptocurrency industry, but talked about the need for the current US government to pay more attention to the artificial intelligence industry. BlockBeats briefly summarized the key points of the Space conversation as follows:

Trump on the assassination

Trump described in detail an assassination attempt he had experienced, calling the experience both unpleasant and surreal. He suffered an ear injury and a lot of bleeding, but in that case, the injury was the best result. What saved him from the fatal blow was an "illegal immigrant chart". When the bullet was fired, he turned his head because he looked at the chart, avoiding more serious injuries. This chart is usually only used at the end of the speech, but this time it was placed on the right side at the beginning of the speech and accidentally saved his life.

A Secret Service sniper shot and killed the gunman from about 400 yards away. However, poor coordination between local police and security forces allowed the gunman to climb onto the roof, posing a safety hazard. Despite this, the Secret Service acted very bravely, with an agent jumping on Trump to protect him at a critical moment, ensuring his safety. At the same time, there was no chaos such as trampling among the crowd at the scene, which is very rare in similar incidents.

Immigration issues

Trump said that during his term, the number of illegal immigrants reached a historic low, thanks to effective policies such as "Remain in Mexico" and "Catch and Release in Mexico". However, the current government has canceled these policies, resulting in a surge in illegal immigration, posing a threat to US security. Trump stressed the need to support legal immigration and close illegal immigration channels, criticizing the current government for not being tough enough on border security, allowing uninspected illegal immigrants to enter the United States, which in turn caused a series of crime problems. Trump also said that some countries, such as Venezuela, even send criminals to the United States to reduce the pressure of crime in their own country.

Trump, who has witnessed firsthand the influx of migrants across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, many of whom appear unfriendly and come from all over the world, not just Mexico, has warned that an open border could result in an influx of as many as 50 million to 60 million migrants, which would be unsustainable for the United States.

In response to the problem of illegal immigration, Trump announced the largest deportation plan in U.S. history and said that some countries are currently sending unproductive populations and criminals to the United States. In addition, Trump criticized the incompetence of the current Democratic leaders, believing that they have failed to effectively deter global dictators, leading to a series of global problems. Trump stressed that maintaining good relations with global leaders such as Putin and Kim Jong-un is essential to maintaining global stability.

US Economic Problems

Trump said that the United States is currently facing severe economic challenges, including a significant increase in inflation and sharp increases in energy prices. These problems have made it difficult for many families to afford daily living expenses. He blames these economic woes on the policies of the current government, particularly its unsustainable energy policies, which he believes have exacerbated the current economic difficulties.

In terms of national defense and government efficiency, Trump emphasized the reconstruction of the military during his tenure, believing that it is the key to ensuring national security. He mentioned that he cut the cost of Air Force One by $1.6 billion through negotiations and advocated the establishment of a government efficiency committee to ensure that taxpayer funds are used reasonably. In addition, he criticized the current government's excessive spending and lack of wise regulatory management, believing that these are the main causes of inflation.

Trump also proposed a series of countermeasures, including reducing energy prices by increasing oil extraction, and warned that the current government is not well prepared to cope with the energy demand brought about by the development of artificial intelligence. He also called for continuing to promote deregulation and reducing unnecessary regulations, while reforming the education system and transferring education control to the states to improve education quality and efficiency. These measures, he believes, are essential to promoting economic recovery.

Energy issues

Trump also spoke about climate change, which he took a moderate stance on, advocating for the development of sustainable energy without demonizing the oil and gas industry, while recognizing the need for fossil fuels. He believed that nuclear energy was underrated as a safe source of electricity and deserved to be reconsidered, while nuclear proliferation was a major concern that required strong leadership to prevent. Regarding the Fukushima nuclear accident, Trump said that California's concerns about nuclear safety were exaggerated and mentioned donating a solar water treatment system to Fukushima to support nuclear safety improvements.

Current government

Trump criticized the current administration's performance in many aspects. He accused the Biden administration of using legal proceedings and local prosecutors to carry out unprecedented suppression of political opponents, and expressed concerns about Biden's physical and mental health, while criticizing Kamala Harris's far-left policies and past record. He also said that the EU took advantage of the United States in trade, that the United States bore a disproportionate amount of costs in NATO, and raised discussions about the situation in Ukraine and financial contributions.

In terms of technological advancement, Trump mentioned potential projects such as a moon base, a mission to Mars, and high-speed urban connections, while highlighting the progress of the Las Vegas tunnel project and the need for advanced transportation systems. He also discussed regulatory reform, criticizing the FDA's slow drug approval process and highlighting the success of "right to try" legislation.

Trump also criticized the current security and crime situation in the United States, blaming riots and immigrant crimes for making people feel unsafe, and said that violent criminals were often released without bail, while he himself was prosecuted. He believed that this injustice also led to the loss of businesses in New York.
