Musks Posts Video With Trump

Musks Posts Video With Trump

Hey folks, it looks like we’ve hit another wild moment in the intersection of politics and social media, and this one’s got the internet buzzing. The big news? X (formerly known as Twitter) CEO Elon Musk had a Spaces conversation with none other than former President Donald Trump. And let me tell you, the reaction from the Democrats and some corners of the mainstream media has been nothing short of explosive.

This event didn’t just make waves; it nearly broke the internet with the sheer volume of people trying to tune in. It was a historic moment, the kind of thing that gets people talking—whether they love it or hate it.

Now, let’s talk about some of the fallout. Remember Adam Kinzinger? He was out there pushing for a #TwitterBlackout because of the event, a move that seems a bit hypocritical given that he’s back on the platform now. And Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) was quick to downplay the whole thing, claiming it was “heard by no one.” But here’s the kicker—they’re both still on X, despite their protests. If they really thought Musk was out of line for hosting Trump, why are they still using the platform? It looks like it’s more about throwing a tantrum over Musk daring to give Trump a platform than about any real principles.

And it wasn’t just the usual suspects in Congress. A Washington Post reporter even asked the White House what they could do about it, suggesting there should be some kind of censorship. That’s right—actual censorship! And Musk didn’t just get heat from the U.S.; EU official Thierry Breton sent him a strongly worded letter, warning that the event could be in violation of the law. Talk about an overreaction.

But if you know Musk and Trump, you know they’re not the type to back down. They’re both at a point in their lives where they’re more than willing to push back against the mainstream narrative. Musk, in particular, had a good laugh at the media’s expense. He called the negative headlines predictable, labeling the critics as “NPCs,” a gaming term that stands for “non-player character.” It’s a jab at those who just follow the crowd without thinking for themselves—something Musk thinks the mainstream media is all too guilty of.

And just to keep things interesting, Musk even invited Vice President Kamala Harris to do a Spaces session too. But let’s be honest, no one’s holding their breath for that one. The idea of Harris engaging in a wide-ranging, unfiltered discussion seems pretty unlikely, and there’s a good chance it would expose why many are skeptical about her candidacy.

Musk didn’t stop there, though. He decided to have a little fun with the whole situation by posting a cheeky video that captured the spirit of the event. It’s gotten a great response from his followers, with many people—including actor Kevin Sorbo—chiming in to say they were there and know it was “real.”

Of course, you can bet the media will call this video “misinformation,” but that’s just par for the course. Unlike the manufactured joy that some outlets are trying to sell with Harris, this was an event that genuinely resonated with people who feel like they’re standing up for something bigger.
