Answer: No, which Elon Musk acknowledged with a laugh after Donald Trump posed the question. The much-anticipated Twitter/X interview unfolded last night more like an armchair conversation between the former president and the world’s wealthiest man. Musk seemed happy to chat up Trump rather than prepare a list of questions, and Trump filled the gaps with his usual brand of extemporaneous argument.
“Musk held a Trump rally,” one media outlet sniffed. Another got closer to the truth of it, which we’ll get to in a moment. However, Trump hit on the salient point and the most direct contrast between the two tickets in this short clip:
