Trump and Musk Interview Misses Crypto Discussion

During a highly anticipated two-hour interview between former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter), neither Bitcoin nor cryptocurrencies were mentioned, despite significant speculation and betting on platforms like Polymarket. The interview, which covered topics such as illegal immigration, the economy, AI, and global warming, attracted over 1 million listeners and faced a delay Musk attributed to a 'massive DDoS attack,' a claim met with skepticism. The lack of cryptocurrency discussion disappointed many in the crypto community, particularly as Trump had previously shown support for Bitcoin at a recent industry conference. Betting markets saw large wagers predicting a mention of 'crypto' or 'Bitcoin,' but these did not materialize, leading to mixed reactions. The broader crypto market remained muted following the interview, with Bitcoin trading slightly down.
