Trump Rambled About ‘Nuclear Warming’ in a Disastrous Two Hour Talk with Elon Musk

A defining diagnostic of Trump’s appearances successful 2024 is weakness. Now that the erstwhile president isn’t sharing a signifier with 81-year-old Joe Biden, helium looks and sounds each spot his 78 years.

During his agelong interrogation Monday nighttime connected X Spaces with Elon Musk, Trump lisped and slurred successful that mode acquainted to anyone who has spoken with a household subordinate whose dentures are not rather set. He rambled astir the quality of Vice President Kamala Harris, talked astir drilling for oil, and the information of “nuclear warming.”

Musk and Trump spoke for astir 2 hours. It was a free-wheeling speech dominated by the erstwhile president and his weird obsessions. The speech was slated to commencement astatine 8 p.m. ET but, similar each different high-profile appearances connected Musk’s “Everything App,” it was a method catastrophe that started late.

When the brace yet appeared, 40 minutes aft eight, Musk blamed a DDOS attack. He was astir apt lying, according to a report from The Verge.

Musk began his interrogation by praising Trump for not dying erstwhile an assassin’s slug grazed his ear. Trump called it a occurrence and said it happened due to the fact that he’d turned his caput to look astatine a chart.

“All due to the fact that I enactment down a illustration connected migration that showed the numbers are truthful great. I emotion that illustration adjacent much now,” helium said.

Immediately, Trump seemed off. He slurred his words and seemed to person a lisp. It was the benignant of happening you could constitute disconnected arsenic method difficulties related to X if not for the information that radical connected Trump’s squad were filming a video of the call.

The two-hour speech was mostly things we’ve each heard before. He repeatedly praised Elon portion complaining astir vigor prices.

“It’s the terms of gasoline,” helium said. “Now your cars don’t necessitate excessively overmuch gasoline, truthful you cannot…you person a large product, I person to say, I person to beryllium honorable with you. I deliberation that doesn’t mean everyone should person an electrical car. But these are insignificant details. Your merchandise is incredible.”

Trump’s marque of economical populism doesn’t rather resonate erstwhile filtered done 20-year-old governmental memes and delivered with a airy lisp.

“But the Gasoline, Elon, it’s the outgo of energy,” Trump said. “Not lone gasoline, it’s the outgo of heating your house. And cooling. And arsenic that starts to travel down, it gone up 100%, 150 and 200%. And that has to travel down. When that comes down. And we’re going to drill, baby, drill. You know, they stopped drilling and past they went backmost to drilling due to the fact that they went backmost to the Trump policy.”

He said Harris wasn’t astute capable to pb past seemed enchanted by her quality connected the screen of Time magazine.

“She looks similar the astir beauteous histrion ever to live. It was a drawing, and actually, she looked precise overmuch similar our large archetypal lady, Melania,” helium said.

Trump past went connected a tangent astir however helium thought clime alteration worked, which led to talking astir atomic weapons.

“The biggest menace is not planetary warming. Where the oceans are going to emergence 1/8th of an inch implicit the adjacent 400 years and you’ll person much oceanfront property,” helium said, misunderstanding what would hap to the coastlines arsenic oversea levels proceed to rise. “The biggest menace is not that, the biggest menace is atomic warming. Because we person 5 countries present that person important atomic power, and we person to not let thing to hap with anserine radical similar Biden.”

There are 9 countries successful the satellite with atomic weapons, not five. And the menace from “nuclear warming” is so severe. Even the constricted usage of atomic weapons could radically change upwind patterns connected the satellite and pb to wide starvation. But the menace sounds hollow from Trump’s slurring lips, particularly delivered successful a tinny low-audio prime X space.

The parallels to failed statesmanlike campaigner Ron DeSantis’ apocalyptic run launch are intolerable to miss. DeSantis appeared successful an X Space alongside Musk. Both were plagued by method difficulties, sounded terrible, and marque the campaigner look anemic and foolish.

“The DeSanctus TWITTER motorboat is simply a DISASTER!” Trump wrote of DeSantis’ motorboat connected failing societal media tract Truth Social. “His full run volition beryllium a disaster! WATCH!”
