Former president Donald Trump was slurring his answers during a bizarre interview with billionaire Elon Musk on Twitter/X. Trump actually voiced his support for climate change and rising sea levels in order to “have more oceanfront property.”

POLITICO described the disaster interview in detail:
But for the second time in the 2024 presidential election, the social media site was glitchy and many users apparently couldn’t listen to the interview.
Musk posted that “there appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down,” adding that he may proceed with the interview with a smaller set of listeners. DDOS stands for “distributed denial of service.”
The interview started about 45 minutes late.
The swirl of posts about technical difficulties echoed Musk’s previous X Live event with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who launched his Republican presidential primary campaign on an X live interview with Musk. As appeared to happen with Trump’s event, the site’s livestream portal, which is audio only, crashed.
