Elon Musk credits Trump's podcast appearances for connecting with voters in interview with Tucker Carlson
Elon Musk discussed Donald Trump's recent presidential victory in an interview with Tucker Carlson. Musk believes Trump's long podcast appearances, particularly on shows like "The Joe Rogan Experience," helped voters see him as a relatable and reasonable person. Musk suggested that these interviews allowed Trump to connect with Americans without relying on scripted talking points. He contrasted this with Vice President Kamala Harris, who he thinks avoided similar long-form interviews to protect her campaign. Musk celebrated Trump's win at Mar-a-Lago and mentioned a potential role in Trump's administration focused on budget cuts. There are also speculations about a merger between Musk's social media platform, X, and Trump's Truth Social.
