In a wide-ranging conversation on X, Donald Trump delved into a series of conspiracy theories and controversial statements during a discussion with tech billionaire Elon Musk on Monday. The dialogue, which was marred by a delayed start and technical issues that Musk attributed to a cyber attack, covered various topics including immigration, climate change, and nuclear threats.

The conversation began over half an hour late, with many viewers unable to tune in live due to reported platform issues. Musk, who recently backed Trump after previously supporting Ron DeSantis, suggested that the delays were a result of opposition to hearing Trump’s views. This is not the first time the platform, formerly known as Twitter, has faced technical problems; Musk's takeover and subsequent staffing cuts have been marked by a series of disruptions.

During the talk, Trump expressed his discontent with current immigration policies, referring to it as a "zombie apocalypse." He criticized President Joe Biden, labeling him "stupid," and expressed a dismissive attitude toward climate change, suggesting that rising sea levels would merely increase opportunities for oceanfront real estate.

“The biggest threat is not global warming, where the ocean is going to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years,” Trump remarked. “You’ll have more oceanfront property. The real danger is nuclear warming because we have five countries with significant nuclear power. We must ensure nothing happens with foolish leaders like Biden.”

Trump also discussed his intentions to enhance US defense capabilities, proposing the development of an advanced missile defense system inspired by Israel's Iron Dome. He emphasized his belief that America would be safer under his leadership, drawing a contrast with the current administration’s handling of global threats.

In addition to defense and immigration, Trump and Musk touched on political strategy and campaign dynamics. The conversation was aimed at reviving Trump’s presidential campaign, which has faced challenges since President Biden’s exit from the race, now replaced by a surging Kamala Harris. Musk, who has been a vocal critic of liberal policies and a proponent of right-wing views, expressed his support for Trump, portraying him as the key to restoring prosperity.

Musk also floated the idea of joining a future Trump administration's efficiency commission, suggesting his experience with cost-cutting could be valuable. Trump responded positively to this suggestion, acknowledging Musk’s expertise in slashing expenses.

The chat underscores the deepening ties between Trump and Musk and highlights the ongoing tension between Trump's controversial rhetoric and broader public discourse. The conversation serves as a reminder of the polarizing nature of current political debates and the influential role of major figures in shaping public opinion
