Donald Trump, the new presidential candidate of the Republicans in the USA, as well as former president Donald Trump, gave an interview to Elon Musk, who clearly showed his support for him. The two met at around 8:30 ET on the X Space broadcast.
System crashed, delayed start
The intense interest in the broadcast caused the interview to start late. Musk claimed that a DDOS attack was organised. Stating that they conducted tests that 8 million people could follow the interview simultaneously before the broadcast, Musk then started broadcasting with a limited number. As of morning hours, more than 16 million people have listened to the broadcast.
Crypto and Bitcoin were not discussed
In the interview, it was disappointing that the duo, who are not far from Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, did not say anything about this field in any way. In the crypto-based betting and prediction site Polymarket, more than $4 million was bet on Trump to make some words about crypto. A total of $800 thousand was bet for the word “crypto”. Listeners also did not hear the words “Bitcoin” or “Tesla” from Trump.
Trump, who has been supporting the crypto space for a while and promised to support the sector, especially Bitcoin mining companies, if he became president, Trump’s silence on this issue caused surprise as well as disappointment in the crypto world.
As it will be remembered, the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, recently gave an interview to the famous programmer Tucker Carlson, and not a single word of Bitcoin was pronounced in the broadcast.
Musk also stated that he would be happy to meet with Kamala Harris on a Space broadcast.
