The crypto community is left disappointed as neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk addressed cryptocurrency topics in their recent interview. Former President Trump, who is now a Republican presidential candidate, participated in an interview with Musk on the X Space platform, which was delayed due to what Musk claimed was a DDOS attack. Initially, the broadcast was accessible to only a limited audience, but it eventually attracted over 16 million listeners.
Despite the high profile of both Trump and Musk, no discussion on crypto or Bitcoin occurred during the interview. Although Trump had previously made comments about cryptocurrencies on Polymarket, a platform for crypto-based betting and predictions, no specific mentions of Bitcoin or Tesla were made during the conversation. Trump's silence on these topics, especially given his past support for Bitcoin mining companies, surprised many in the crypto world.
This situation mirrors a recent interview given by El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, where Bitcoin was also not mentioned. Musk expressed interest in another Space broadcast with Kamala Harris in the future.
