In a very one-sided conversation on X, Trump vented about a ‘zombie apocalypse’ of immigration, repeatedly blasted President Joe Biden as ‘stupid’ and mused on developing a new missile defence system based on the one that defends Israel.
LOS ANGELES - Donald Trump ran through his checklist of conspiracy theories Monday in a rambling conversation with his uber-wealthy supporter Elon Musk that was initially derailed by what the tech titan said was a technical glitch.
"The biggest threat is not global warming, where the ocean is going to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years," he told Musk. Musk, the world's richest man according to Forbes, claimed the platform formerly known as Twitter had experienced a cyber"attack."The conversation was intended to help reinvigorate Trump's stuttering campaign, which has flagged since Biden dropped out of the race, to be replaced by a surging Kamala Harris.
The apparent technical difficulties come after Musk fired swathes of staff at the platform, and also served as an uncomfortable reminder that the Tesla boss had once backed Trump's rival Ron DeSantis, whose campaign launch on the platform was also beset by problems. The South African-born billionaire has emerged as a major voice in US politics but is accused of turning X into a megaphone for right-wing conspiracy theories.
"One of the things we're going to do is we're going to build an Iron Dome," he said, referring to Israel's missile defence system.
