Trump and Musk Discuss Potential Second-Term Role in Glitch-Ridden X Interview

A delayed conversation on X between Donald Trump and Elon Musk saw Musk offering to assist in a potential second Trump administration and echoing themes from Trump`s campaign rallies. The event, which experienced a 40-minute delay attributed to a cyberattack by Musk, drew a large audience. Musk proposed a government spending commission and volunteered his services, an idea praised by Trump. The conversation largely mirrored a Trump rally, with Musk acting as moderator. This event follows a recent Trump press conference and aligns with his strategy of engaging in unscripted media appearances. Musk, who endorsed Trump last month, has increasingly aligned himself with right-leaning politics and aims to influence the political landscape. His close relationship with Trump, advising on various policies, signals a potential for increased influence should Trump be re-elected.
