Trump Praises Musk During Interview on X

In a recent interview on X, former President Donald Trump praised Elon Musk for his decisive management style regarding workforce reductions, referring to him as 'the greatest cutter.' The conversation, which started over 40 minutes late due to technical difficulties Musk attributed to a DDoS attack, attracted over 1.3 million listeners. Trump expressed admiration for Musk's approach to handling strikes, stating, 'You want to quit? ... You're all gone.' The exchange drew criticism from Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign, which labeled both men as 'self-obsessed rich guys' undermining the middle class. Musk's support for Trump has shifted notably since he previously backed Biden in 2020, indicating a significant political realignment. The interview also marked Trump's return to the platform after being banned for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack.
