Donald Trump made an electrifying return to X, the artist formerly known as Twitter, engaging in a lengthy two-hour dialogue with none other than the tech titan Elon Musk. This bold move sent leftist hearts racing in a frenzy before the conversation even began. Across the pond, Europe’s Digital Commissioner, Thierry Breton, took it upon himself to send Musk a letter laden with bureaucratic warnings about the EU’s hate speech regulations. Meanwhile, back on the home front, regime media were practically frothing at the mouth, terrified that this unfiltered exchange would reach the ears of young, impressionable voters inclined to hear the truth.
The Harris-Walz campaign swiftly joined the fray, blasting out a fundraising email that practically dripped with desperation. They begrudgingly referred to the platform as “X,” clearly irritated that Musk had given Trump a platform to articulate his viewpoints. Not only did this email read like the ultimate in petty politics, but it was laughable given that neither Kamala Harris nor Tim Walz has bothered to engage in a public conversation themselves. It’s safe to say they’ve done more avoiding media than actual media.
Only bad headlines from the legacy media about Elon’s Trump interview. They hate Elon for eating their lunch and Trump for having a bigger reach than ever, without them. Add the editors on the deep state payroll and it all makes sense. The problem? Now everyone wants to listen 🤣 pic.twitter.com/XDEJtbjD1N

Musk’s foresight was spot on; legacy media couldn’t resist trashing the Trump-Musk exchange because the conversation didn’t fit their narrative. Their collateral damage? A substantial uptick in listeners, with the conversation potentially reaching audiences far beyond their control. It's funny how that works; the more they criticize, the more people tune in, proving once again that negativity is the lifeblood of social media engagement.
The combination of Donald Trump and Elon Musk poses a double whammy for the media elite, who tremble at the thought of two individuals who actually connect with the masses. Instead of their recycled narratives and scripted talking points, audiences got to see two relatable personalities eager to discuss what’s genuinely best for America. Contrast this with the woeful attempts from the left, who have opted for silence rather than face the music—Harris, in particular, has evaded any meaningful interactions since securing her spot on the Democratic ticket.
As Musk himself pointed out, the collective panicking from mainstream media only served to amplify the audience—likely surpassing 200 million viewers who tuned in to experience the lively exchange. This staggering figure is a testament to the fact that both Trump and Musk are not just decent and likable; they have successfully tapped into an ever-growing thirst for authentic conversation that the mainstream media desperately tries to drown out. One can only imagine how many people would tune in for a Harris interview—if she ever dared to show her face in the arena of real discussion.
