CEO of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk’s highly anticipated conversation with Republican presidential Donald Trump on his platform, X, encountered significant technical difficulties.
The discussion, where Musk posed amicable questions on topics like immigration and inflation, started more than 40 minutes late due to widespread user access issues.
Although the event was advertised as an interview, Trump made several unverified claims that went unchallenged.
Musk reiterated his support for Trump, who is up against a resurgent Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, in the upcoming November election.
Musk attributed the technical problems to a cyber-attack, but an expert told the BBC this was unlikely.
This conversation on X comes as Trump attempts to revitalise his re-election campaign.
With Vice President Harris entering the race following President Joe Biden’s decision to step aside, the contest for the White House has grown more competitive.
