Over 200 Million Listeners Tuned in to Trump's Interview on X, Claims Elon Musk

Washington: Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump engaged in a conversation with SpaceX founder Elon Musk on Monday evening surpassed 200 million traffic as claimed by Musk.

The broadcast of the conversation started with a lengthy delay of 45 minutes, caused by a cyber attack that kept many users from accessing the live stream and went on for 2 long hours.

"Almost all of the legacy media will trash the Trump conversation, thus driving total listeners probably past 200 million," Elon Musk posted on X.

Collin Rugg, the co-owner of Trending Politics, said that Trump's X handle received over 200 million impressions during the interview.

The Republican presidential nominee spoke about the assassination attempt on him, illegal immigrants in the US, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas War during the conversation.  

The first question from Musk was regarding the Assassination attempt on him, to which he said that he immediately knew that it was a bullet and he had been hit by ear. “I’m a believer, now. I’m more of a believer in God, I think,” Trump said, while recalling the shooting.
