Trump and Musk talk about assassination attempt and deportations during glitchy chat on X
apnews.com
Donald Trump is returning — at least for one night — to X, the platform from which he was banned for nearly two years following Jan. 6, 2021.

Tonight at 8 pm, sprung on everyone at the last minute apparently.

Trump and Elon Musk, X’s owner, are slated to have what the tech titan has termed a “live conversation” at 8 p.m. Eastern Time that will be “unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so should be highly entertaining!” Musk is soliciting X users to pose their own questions.

Will Trump DeSantis himself? I hope so.

    A bigot nepo kid hosts a wierd sexist fascist convicted felon with tiny hands. Caveat is, that both are big fans of each other so there won’t be any hardball questions, maybe they suck each others dick?

      Right? I was thinking the same thing. Two white guys as bigoted, misogynistic and queerphobic as you can get sit down for an unscripted conversation?

      I’ll almost be disappointed if there are no slurs.

          That won’t work. They can’t stop people from recording it live.

          The thing about the internet is- stuff doesn’t go away even if you want it to.

            Well, depends on how hard someone wants to keep it at least. Without organizations like Internet Archive backing up as much as they can, a lot of the internet would end up permanently lost when sites go down or content migrates hosts and breaks all the old links.

            Something tells me Trump making an idiot of himself live on Xitter won’t be quite as volatile, though. Or at least not in that way.

              Every big news organization will be recording this video just in case something newsworthy happens. Along with a bunch of people who will post those clips on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, you name it.

              They will just not be able to make something like this go away if it goes south.

    This is very dangerous.

    That much malignant narcissism in one place could form a singularity and an ensuing black hole.

      I’ve heard, when that happens; The narcissists head goes so far up their own ass, they fold in on themselves. The resultant matter is highly dense and caustic, yet still somehow capable of language. Trump and Elon have both crossed the event horizon multiple times already. Perhaps with the two feeding each other, their heads will fold into each other’s asses. Scientists are eagerly observing…

        You’d think, but that probably won’t happen unless one of them recognizes and accepts that they’re much lower-status then the other.

        Narcissists don’t do well in groups, especially when they’re all roughly equivalent status. There’s a ridiculous amount of infighting and posturing as they try to establish dominance over each other.

        Watch Musk or Trump when they have to deal with something who reality requires them to defer to (eg, like Xi or Putin). They look almost depressed and broken, because in a very real way, they are.

        What you’re describing happens when a sycophant praises a narcissist, or when a narcissist is drunk on praise from a sycophant. That’s when the rhetorical fellatio really kicks into high gear; when the narcissist is getting high on supply.

    One time, as a young man, I drank so much that I threw up, a lot. Like kept throwing up and then there were the dry heaves.

    Watching a moment of these two felating each other would immediately skip me straight to the dry heaves. 🤢

      Downvoted because ‘retard’ doesn’t really belong in the modern lexicon. It’s a shitty kind of offensive and frankly a lazy slur. Not that I’m defending the miraculously low functioning, mouth breathing, drooling ingrates that fund the orange clown, I just don’t care for that particular word.

    Elon is just saying “yeah” to everything. 😂

    E: Boy Elon doesn’t understand shit about economics. E2: Elon’s problem with CO2 is that at some point it will get uncomfortable to breathe. Somewhere around 1000 would be bad. It’s not like the house is on fire. 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️
