How Elon Musk’s interview with Trump further exposes the Left 

The Left’s hatred for former US President Donald Trump was on full display yet again during and after his Monday interview on X with the social media platform’s owner Elon Musk.

Vice President Harris’s campaign responded to Trump’s interview with Musk Monday, calling them “self-obsessed rich guys” and jabbing them over their livestream issues.

“Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself — self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024,” the campaign wrote in an official statement after the Monday night interview.

“Donald Trump extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda is a feature not a glitch of his campaign, which was on full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com,” the Harris campaign wrote in its statement.

Rex Huppke at USA Today also couldn’t handle the interview.

He hyperventilated his way through a rant he tried to pass off as an article about the discussion.

First, he bashed both men by writing, “For a fascism-curious billionaire who loves cuddling up to right-wing loons, Elon Musk sure is good at making right-wing politicians look stupid.”

Huppke claimed Trump was “rambling, babbling on about crowd sizes and immigration and President Joe Biden and whatever else seemed to pass through his mind. He was also badly slurring his words, raising questions about his health, and doing nothing to knock down rising concerns about his age
and well-being.”

“He sounded like a disoriented, racist Daffy Duck,” he complained.

Huppke called Musk a “stoned introvert” and said he “did little but cheerlead Trump and agree with every bizarro thing that fell out of his mouth, while occasionally going on the kind of odd right-wing tangents you’d expect from a man too rich to ever be told to pipe down.”

Huppke said he didn’t want to quote Trump on anything he said in the interview “because it was either too stupid to merit transcription or a mere repetition of the nonsense he spouts at every rally he holds.”

Demonstrating how immature Democrats and the Left have become, Huppke wrote, “A big part of Trump’s problem right now is he has become almost unbearably boring. Build a wall. Drill, baby, drill. Marxist, socialist something-something. Harris only recently became Black. Blah, blah, blah.”

What’s clear is that Democrats have lost the ability to provide a well-developed cogent argument against a man they hate so irrationally.

Like Huppke, Marina Hyde at The Guardian also could not contain her immaturity and contempt for Trump.

She wrote the interview “was so dysfunctional that even Trump’s dentures were trying to escape.”

The Washington Post said the conversation was “a peek inside the right-wing bubble.”

As if to say there is no left-wing bubble.

A Reuters article whined that the chat with Musk “offered Trump an unfiltered chance to air his usual mix of grievances, personal attacks and overstated or false claims” and that Musk “let Trump lead the conversation and did not challenge Trump’s inaccurate statements.”

The Democrats, and Harris’s campaign in particular, failed to offer mature, substantive arguments countering Trump’s statements.

It is great that Trump is out there, doing interviews and providing the public with a window into his policies as opposed to Harris who has done everything to avoid the media.

This interview further exposed the Left by demonstrating how empty and hollow the Democrats have become, how they are destroying America, and how they are pushing a non-elected, inept candidate into the White House.

Let’s hope Trump wins.
