Edit: Don’t worry, X Spaces is working fine right now… but the interview hasn’t started yet (22 minutes late so far) and thousands haven’t even been able to get in. I’m currently enjoying some fairly pleasant elevator music and waiting for President Trump and Elon Musk to begin their discussion.
Edit #2: DDOS attack, records broken…1 million in X range but now we are LIVE!
Elon Musk has been running scaling tests for his upcoming historic interview with President Donald Trump over the past few days, and we are here to point you in the right direction to view it.
This will not be the usual heavily edited interview, but it will be “without a script and without thematic restrictions, so it should be very entertaining!“, said Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, in a post on X. Musk will give viewers the opportunity to submit their own questions, adding: “If you have specific questions and comments, post them in the chat“.
President Donald Trump has been back on X for 24 hours. The interview between President Trump and Elon Musk takes place on X Spaces, Trump’s newly used X account. The interview takes place at 8pm ET this evening and midnight GMT on Tuesday in the UK and 10:00am AEST in Sydney, Australia.
President Trump said: “Elon called me and as you know he supported me wholeheartedly, a great support. I respect Elon a lot, he respects me. And it’s not easy for him to give support, it takes courage to support people. Many people have courage and many people don’t.“.
Musk posted on X that he would be “doing some system scaling tests tonight and tomorrow in advance of the call,” which will surely break records (and hopefully not X himself).
