Tech mogul Elon Musk and former US President Donald Trump had a live chat on the social platform X. Despite the expectation that they would discuss topics such as cryptocurrency, finance, technology and the economy, the cryptocurrency community was disappointed that the two did not mention cryptocurrency or Bitcoin during the nearly two-hour interview. The live broadcast started 45 minutes later than scheduled, and many users were initially unable to log in to listen, but it still attracted more than 1 million listeners. Musk attributed the delay to a "massive DDoS attack" and said "this shows that there are a lot of people who don't want Trump's voice to be heard."
Trump believed that this was due to the audience's overly enthusiastic attitude, which caused problems with the server due to the influx of people, and said that it was an honor brought by the record number of live broadcasts.
The live broadcast can now be replayed on X, and has been viewed by 157 million people as of press time. During the live broadcast, the two discussed topics such as assassinations, inflation, immigration, climate change, foreign relations, artificial intelligence (AI), and Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Musk even took the initiative to express his hope that if Trump is re-elected, he can help cut federal spending. However, although the conversation lasted more than 2 hours, the two sides never touched on issues related to cryptocurrency and Bitcoin, which surprised the community supporting cryptocurrency. After all, Trump has been trying to win votes in the cryptocurrency circle, and Musk is a supporter of Dogecoin.
