Donald Trump recently engaged in a wide-ranging discussion with billionaire Elon Musk on the social media platform X.
The conversation, intended to boost Trump's campaign, was delayed by what Musk described as a cyber attack, leaving many unable to tune in live. Throughout the talk, Trump reiterated a series of controversial topics, including his dismissal of climate change.
He remarked on the minimal impact of sea-level rise, suggesting it would create more oceanfront property. He expressed his concerns about "nuclear warming" and criticized President Joe Biden, whom he described as "stupid."

Trump also revisited his admiration for leaders like Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping, claiming the United States would be safer under his leadership. He proposed developing an advanced missile defense system similar to Israel's Iron Dome.
Musk, who has become a vocal figure in U.S. politics, supported Trump's ideas and criticized what he perceives as the "woke mind virus" affecting American society. Musk also commented on immigration, likening the situation at the U.S. southern border to a "zombie apocalypse."
The conversation marks a significant political moment for Musk, who previously voted Democrat but has since aligned himself with Trump.
This alignment follows a failed assassination attempt on Trump and Musk's past support for Ron DeSantis. Musk's backing of Trump highlights the billionaire's increasing influence in conservative circles.
As Trump's campaign attempts to regain momentum, Musk's endorsement and involvement could play a pivotal role. Musk also proposed creating a government efficiency commission to ensure taxpayer funds are well spent, a suggestion Trump seemed to appreciate.
