Billionaire entrepreneur and X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk interviewed Donald Trump on his social media network today. The event, which was scheduled to begin at 5:30 AM IST, was delayed by more than 40 minutes due to a DDOS attack, a type of cyberattack.
During the chat, which went on for over two hours, the two spoke in length about the assassination attempt on Trump last month. Their conversation also saw the Republican nominee attacking his Democratic rival Kamala Harris for the 2024 US presidential elections.
The interview, which was joined by more than 1.3 million users, was an opportunity for Trump to seize the limelight at a time when Kamala Harris has erased his lead in opinion polls, just weeks after she replaced Joe Biden in the race to the White House.
Donald Trump has claimed that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if he were still the US president.
"We don't have a president right now - and Kamala is even worse. She's a San Francisco liberal who destroyed that city, destroyed California, and will destroy our country if she's elected," Donald Trump has said.
Donald Trump has slammed Joe Biden over the US economy. "The economy is a disaster with inflation... Four years ago, people were saving a lot of money. Today they're using all their money and borrowing money just to live," he has said in the interview with Musk.
He also attacked Kamala Harris and said, "If she wins, this country will go out of business."
DDoS attack means "Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attack", a cybercrime in which the attacker floods a server with internet traffic to prevent users from accessing connected online services and sites.
