elon musk, donald trump, social media all have the same in common. all three sources of misinformation and lies. i think my republican party, the theme song should be "tell mi lais, tell me sweet little lies." i can't put my hand over my heart every day, pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic and vote for someone like donald trump who tried to interfere and present false electors to the u.s. congress. that is against the republic. that's against my pledge to the republic. also, for my christian friends out there, psalm chapter 15 says a vial person is to be condemned not voted and supported for. we got a man that cheated on three wives. he is a convicted sex offender. he's convicted of fraud, which is just another word for lying, for his benefit. that's a vial person. he's not to be supported. host: getting back to social media. you said there is a lot of misinformation. do you find yourself fact checking the -- what you see on social media? or do you just discount it and say it's not true? how do you deal with that? caller: i do not do an

elon musk likes to present himself as a technical genius.ly he deserves a lot of credit for what he has done with space x. he sort of waived this off as a denial of service attack, we don't really know, but we have seen them have theseissues know, but we have seen them have these issues before with the ronda santas campaign. i think isjust a platform not fit for prime time when it comes to a massive event. as everyone at the bbc knows, media is hard, and live media is even harder stop i think that is what elon musk is learning. a lot of people said when they tried to access the interview they just got music, background noise as well, and couldn't gain access to the interview. nonetheless, we are talking about it, it is making headlines over the world. how influential do think this interview, and what was in the interview, how influential could that be? i think it is very influential to the people who are already in the champ — mask camp, and i would put them now squarely in the same camp. —— donald trump, elon musk camp. this is going to per

let's face it, elon musk is not a bbc news channel interviewer. interview, at least the first 35 minutes as far as i could tell, was musk going "yeah, uh-huh," the line after line of donald trump's manifesto, as it were. ben: yeah, it would be interesting to see elon musk on the bbc news channel. ybe he would get offered to show, who knows. speak about the content of the conversation. what did you make of it? some critics said it was rambling, some said it was a love-in between the two men. >> i think both of those characterizations are correct. there were so many things that the harris campaign has used and will continue to use, soundbites on everything from climate change to making comments about electric cars with elon musk to his supposed conversations with vladimir putin. but i think the most important thing to remember is that donald trump accomplished at least one of his goals, and that was to take away a new cycle from vice president kamala harris. because he knows whether the headline is good or whether the headline is bad, if the headlin

elon musk said it was an attack. take a listen what he said regarding that. >> this massive attack demonstrates there is a lot of opposition to people hearing what president trump has to say. >> carley: critics are saying elon musk is spinning this as positive, it could be potential issue within his company. the fbi is investigating separate attack of the trump campaign itself. that can be debated. what is clear, when this event started, 1.3 million people were listening and all of them can't be hard-core trump supporters, what do you think of that? >> doug: it was a massive win. it does be present the split screen and someone willing to talk to the press. the press does not like his answer, that is the problem they have. they don't like what he says, how hes it or what he believes, they are not conservative at heart. they are in favor of having vice president harris because they participated kicking biden out. i will trust elon musk more with a technical system than media, especially when you had the hacking going o

elon musk has used some fairly intemperate language about it.cising this supreme court judge who has made these decisions and there is also a link between elon musk and the former brazilian president bolsonaro, they have been sympathetic between each other, and the judge sympathetic between each other, and thejudge is sympathetic between each other, and the judge is seen as a huge enemy of bolsonaro, and that is how the bolsonaro camp or chase him. in the past, thisjudge has ruled that many times against bolsonaro when he accused the brazilian elections being rigged. so there's this ongoing dispute and this past history that has divided the political spectrum, conservatives in brazil, they tend to hate this judge. conservatives in brazil, they tend to hate thisjudge. elon musk is gathering a lot of support from these political sympathisers of bolsonaro and the right wing.— the right wing. daniel, thank ou for the right wing. daniel, thank you for talking _ the right wing. daniel, thank you for talking to _ the right wing. daniel, thank you for t

elon musk has, as we know, an interest in natural resources that are needed to build batteries. venezuela and top of having gold and oil. reserves has lithium, colton, all the different minerals that are going to be key going forward into building the batteries that that elon would like to build. you may recall in 2019 there was actually a coup in bolivia overturn the government there temporarily, in a similar instance where there was a progressive government that just wanted to have national control over the resources and then this military dictatorship came in and started selling it off to players like elon and at the time someone mentioned this to elon that there was a violent coo in bolivia and he responded on on x or twitter at the time saying we will coup whoever we want, it was kind of a joke then, but the fact that he's now decided to take such a strong line on venezuela is disappointing to me as someone who does appreciate what elon has attempted to do for free speech and and and and our rights on x uh, i think it's disappointing that he now is you know getting involved

trump immediately said that he would love that and call elon, the greatest cutter mr. trump also said that we need more energy in order to power a.i. on foreign policy, trump talked about about how he left iran broke and it prison scare and also having dealt with north korea successfully well biden and leather russia and china alliance that is dangerous to the world. before the interview, mr. trump returned to the backside of course finally twittering anything, are you better off now than you were when i was president. good question and he said too is 89.2 million followers, this is on top of the interview with mre way or another, millions upon millions of people hurt donald trump's message in just the last 24 hours in the good news is, mr. trump was on message reminding people of his substance if successful policies. in other words, full of insights, not insults and good days work with you say folks? and that is the ref and okay, great pleasure 20 is now businessman and author of truth, vivek ramaswamy the future of america first and always welcome back and just look

it doesn't seem like that is how elon musk is actually curating the content on his, site. and so i think that we are in this new age of campaigning where every candidate is allowed to go and turn over every stone. but elon musk tries to present himself as an arbiter of the first amendment, but that's not what this event tonight is going to be in the fight i'll just say on this is it's interesting, donald trump is going back to x because ron desantis launched his campaign on x and a, and a chat with elon musk and it was quite disastrous. the technology didn't work so it's funny that donald trump is doubling back on one of his opponents strategies and using elon musk is platform to hopefully not perpetuate more lives, but mostly highly profitable. he will we'll see if that technology works tonight. ashley, on another topic, i'm curious to get your thoughts cnn is just now learning that hillary clinton will speak at next week's democratic national convention monday night in chicago. while former president bill clinton will speak on wednesday night. what's your reaction to tha

x, elon musk and desantis got some backlash for that roll—out for that interview.sting to see how this one goes. i imagine it has taken over a year, elon musk has sort of been able to iron through some of those technical difficulties. but definitely something to watch considering these two men are people who are very much trying to cater towards a very similar audience, a conservative leaning audience, an audience that isn't as friendly with democrats. so it will be interesting to watch. it obviously raises questions about the power, the political power that can be used by the owner of this vast network. and questions about what the us government and other governments could do to regulate and control and limit that power. the european commission we have seen today has just written to elon musk of his legal responsibilities about public disorder the head of that interview also warning of interim measures of breaches of the rule. is there that concern now that, of course there will be a lot of political views on this? absolutely. i think, you — political views on thi

we know how influential elon musk is.e is now regularly spreading off information about the election, about vp harris. how concerned should we be of his influence and his potential impact? >> we should be terrified, because we have never had robber barons with this kind of power before. oligarchs are going to oligarch, but elon musk does not want a white house that collects taxes from billionaire tax fees. he does not want a white house that respects women. elon is a millionaire nebo baby and right-wing activist who is like a bond villain, whose secret plan as he wants to be joe rogan when he grows up. and he is more than willing to send out all the flies, all of this misinformation, just to get more dude bro points with a certain sliver of the population. i don't really see how this man's need to be popular and light, much like trump, can indwell for any of us, but it is kind of terrifying to think that in this day and age we can have these kind of bond villain's who are able to lie, and it used to be rich people pay peo

elon screaming out questions. it's -- it's pretty sad when you think that somebody that does this for a living can't answeryoone wh a questionr is afraid to do an interview. >> musk offered to host a conversation with kamala as well, but she's been in hidink g in hiding for 23 days ever since she became the presumptive nominee. and she hasn't sat down for a single interview. i held a singl be press conference. instead of talking to musk cosmo's campaignr --e pres callp and musk, quote, self-obsessed rich guys who will sell outl sel the middle class. but musk isn't some dyed in the wool conservativ oute. i'm sure he's now endorsed donald trump. but before that, he was anp obama guy. >> i've not beent very political before, and it's just if you look at my track record, it's i've actually been i'm not like some. so they try to paint me as like a far right guy, whichri is absurd because i like making electric vehicles and, you know, solar and batteries helping with the environment supported obama. i stood in line for

maria, in short, what is the influence of elon musk on public opinion in the united states, and what is his role in shaping this opinion in an election year? indeed, this is a very important question, because elon musk is the first owner of a large social network, who showed his political views, who supported donald trump, and now, as experts write, it became clear why he bought the social network twitter in the first place, which for it is there unprofitable, not for profits, but in order to use it as a croupier to support the candidate he likes donald trump, but it now raises a lot of doubts about the neutrality of this platform and this social network in general. maria, thank you for your analysis, maria ulyanovska was in touch with us, we talked about the conversation between elon musk and donald trump on the social platform "ex". meanwhile, donald trump's campaign blames camelia harris for not having announced her candidacy since gave no public interview. one of those actively spreading this message is trump's running mate, jd vance, who is currently meeting with voters in the u

, elon has a big form. the trump campaign would say that for all the power of the mainstream media, that this intermediating and kind of going direct to consumer, much like the obama campaign did in 2008, 2012 and in the white house, is the way the media works. elon musk might not be an interviewer. he might not be a reporter, but he has a big audience and it was free advertising for him. >> a huge audience, for sure. to lou, what do you think? >> definitely a large audience. it was clear that donald trump is trying to double down on his base first strategy for trying to win this general election. elon musk fan base is part of donald trump's fan base. people like donald trump jr., the far right wing supporters of donald trump, those are people who are sort of celebrating the fact elon musk took over twitter and has turned it into this right-wing friendly site that brought back donald trump account and all these other recounts that had been banned for hate speech and other things so we are in a general elect

so why can't kamala harris have a conversation with elon musk?th is her advisors don't think that she would do very well in a nondescriptive format, and that she just isn't willing to contradict their advice and be her own person. but her duck and cover campaign isn't safe. i thin vk they think it is safe, but what it shows the voters is she is insecure, and they are on the defensive. yet, donald trump the man democrats claim is a dictator ia waiting and another despicable lie, by three way, think you deserve more from the candidate that spirit that is what hebe believes. mayb youe you don't agree withy everything he says or maybe you don't love the way he always says it, gosh, at least there is something to discuss about his comments about energy or fracking or drill, baby, drill or taxes on social security income. kno he puts it all out there. you actually know where he stands. >> we did more the regulationt u and restrictions on all of the different businesses than any other president. e role for have th everyone you put in you have to get rid

you've asked about elon musk. i mean, getting into spats with elon musk.t the right way forward right now. keir starmer, the prime minister of our country, needs to come to parliament, be asked the questions, you know, give the questions, you know, give the leadership that is needed on, you know, being accountable , on, you know, being accountable, transparent and dealing with this awful, awful situation. and you know, we need to make sure that the police, as i've said, are doing what they need to do. but importantly, patrick, you know, our streets are not safe right now. public safety comes first and we've got to put the pubuc first and we've got to put the public safety or the british people front and centre of everything that we do, okay? >> in order to do all of this, in order to sell your vision, which you've just done, there, of what the conservative party would look like under you are going to have to fight off a couple of people. robert jenrick was described as the favourite earlier today. i'm sure you would disagree. he was described as the favour

musk and as the interview beginning, elon's -- elon musk put up a post of a ddo s.ack happened to his website on the heels of president trump campaign website attacked by what they believe it another country they believe like iran or china in the top cyber security people in the country that put it together but democratic presidential candidate kamala harris thinks it's funny and if, in fact, these attacks happening against our country and our cyber security is not safe, that is on your watch and nothing funny about it and another day and another batch of crimes reportedly put on an even better spotlight as failed border as last night another new york city woman raped in the suspect in a legal from nicaragua arrested by sexual assault at a migrant shelter in brookland and they believe in no bail laws and another illegals arrested and shockingly arrested again after being let out on bail and sadly these are just the latest examples of all these unvented illegal immigrants setting crimes once they arrive and take a look at your screen as those are the names of victims

45 minutes after elon musk says a massive cyber attack hit the site. this after a censorship effort from that you over trump's presence of the platform threats from the european union to prosecute anyone revealing this information, one thing was stable and the pair started talking whatever range of issues included the assassination attempt, the economy, the border, china and trumps political competition, all the highlights coming up right here. in washington the white house rewriting history again as a defense, let here his record on the border and says president biden is in favor of no tax on tips despite the five and half trillion dollars in the new 2025 budget and the $80 billion in the inflation reduction act partly to go after taxing tips. here is one time economic proposal in cord and should include raising the corporate tax rate to 35% medicare for all that would raise taxes on anyone making more than $100,000 a year. when will they hear his campaign articulate your economic plan. we are on all morning long. futures are mixed. now industrials in

to land any significant rhetorical punches against harris during a rambling 2-hour interview with elonk. what listeners did get was a 40 minute technical delay at an ear full of talking points from the former president on immigration, foreign dictators, and the economy. meanwhile, democratic vice president nominee tim walz was on the trail solo for the first time, pushing for union votes while defending his military record. cbs's robert costa has new reporting on how trump allies want him to take on the harris-walz ticket. >> reporter: former president donald trump is now using one of his favorite tools: social media, to pull the political spotlight back his way. and he kicked off the effort with an online chat with billionaire elon musk. >> i think you should support donald trump for president. >> well come i want to thank you pure. >> reporter: the to our dialogue with musk was delayed by technical difficulties. >> you have done an amazing job. you have deftly got a fertile mind. >> trump's ally say he recognizes the impact of being on x especially as he looks to energize his core su

elon musk is using his social media company to not only pushes.oming election. besides using his own personal account to cast doubt on election machines, ballots and voting in addition to racist, anti-semitic and misogynist accounts, elon musk is being called out for x's ai checkbox -- chat box spreading misinformation. the search assistant wrongly told social media users that vice president kamala harris had missed the ballot deadline in nine states and was not eligible to appear on the ballots in those states in place of biden. vice president harris and donald trump are both working dirigible voters, independent voters, undecided voters, many of whom are not entirely engaged in politics, some of whom may be voting for the first time and need reliable, accurate information on when and how to vote. one can imagine could be easily tuned out if they are told the candidates not going to be on the ballot. minnesota secretary steve simon is spearheading an effort calling on elon musk to fix x's chat bot. he writes quote, as tens of millions of voters i

they might tune into an mma event and they might tune into an interview with elon musk. so that's part of the strategy here. obviously, some traditional, we'll see if it works as we get closer to november kristen holmes. >> thanks so much back with us. is scott jennings also joining us? is 2020 biden-harris senior campaign official. official ashley allison scott trump's co-campaign manager tried to put a positive spin on the situation, saying that trump broke the internet i mean, kristen's point is that do you think this interview with elon musk is going for those people who may not normally vote those low propensity voters, just like having hulk hogan ripping shirt off at the convention, which i know was a high point of view what was reaching a different audience and having dana white intro the president, the former president of course, i mean, there obviously going to be people who follow elon musk that may not be as politically engaged is your average five out of five or four out of four voter, i was just listening to the to the space. >> there's over 1 million people
