“Trump Goes Back to X with Two-Hour Elon Musk Chat Caught by Technical Glitch”
Donald Trump, the former president of the United States and the Republican candidate for president, has posted on the social media site X for the first time since 2023. The comeback comes after a tough few weeks on the campaign trail, when Trump was under more and more heat from the law and the public. When he went back to X (which used to be Twitter), he had a two-hour live chat on Spaces with Elon Musk, who owns the platform and is a strong backer of Trump’s re-election bid in 2024. But the much-anticipated event was ruined by technology problems that made it hard to talk.
It is interesting that Trump has decided to get back involved with X after a long break from the platform. The former president hadn’t been on X much since he posted a picture of his mugshot, which quickly went popular, after turning himself in to a Georgia jail in 2023. His return shows that he is once again focussing on using social media to rally his supporters and get his campaign back on track as he tries to get back to the White House.
Trump’s comeback on X kicks off with a conversation with Elon Musk, but technical problems hinder the moment.
The conversation with Elon Musk was supposed to be a big moment in Trump’s campaign because it gave him a chance to talk directly to millions of people who might vote for him. Musk, who has officially backed Trump’s campaign, was supposed to talk about a lot of things, like the U.S. economy, foreign policy, and Trump’s plans for the future. The live debate was seen as a chance for Trump to explain his ideas and deal with the problems that have plagued his campaign.
The event did not go as well as planned, which is a shame. The chat had a lot of technical problems, like audio dropouts and connection issues that made it hard to follow the talk. There was a time when the conversation was cut off for a few minutes, which was annoying for everyone. The bugs got a lot of negative feedback on social media, with many users being upset that the site couldn’t host a smooth live event.
A rocky re-entry: Trump’s first X appearance in months disrupted by tech issues during Musk chat.
Even though there were technological problems, Trump and Musk were able to talk about a lot of important things. Trump used the event to attack his political opponents and say again that he is committed to policies that he says will “Make America Great Again.” He also used the chance to criticise how the Biden government was handling important issues like immigration, inflation, and relations with other countries. Musk, for his part, said that Trump was a good leader and that he thought the former president would do well in the 2024 race.
The chat with Musk and the trip back to X show how the role of social media in current political campaigns is changing. Trump’s political approach has been based on using digital platforms to talk to voters directly instead of using traditional media. However, the technical issues that came up during the live chat show how difficult things can be in the digital world, even for a company as big as X.
Trump returns to X with a high-profile chat with Elon Musk, but technical glitches steal the spotlight.
Even though there were some technical problems, Donald Trump’s return to X and two-hour conversation with Elon Musk was a big moment in his campaign. Trump is still running for re-election, and his use of social media is likely to stay a key part of his campaign. But how well these plans work will depend on how reliable the platforms he picks are for connecting with his followers.
