Former President Donald Trump has attributed his unusual vocal presentation during a recent interview with entrepreneur Elon Musk to technical difficulties experienced on the X platform. During the interview that drew significant public interest, Trump, aged 78, acknowledged post-broadcast concerns raised by viewers regarding his speech, which some interpreted as slurring or characterized by a lisp.
In a statement shared on Truth Social, Trump remarked, “Unfortunately, because of the complexity of modern-day equipment, and cellphone technology, my voice was, in certain areas, somewhat different and strange.” He further asserted that a subsequent, flawless recording of the conversation had been made available to rectify any misunderstandings about his vocal delivery.
Trump expressed enthusiasm about the two-hour dialogue with Musk, highlighting that it reached an impressive audience of over 1.2 million X users simultaneously, which he regarded as a notable achievement. He characterized the exchange as “something special” and extended gratitude to Musk for his support, referring to him as “very special”.
The broadcast faced an initial delay of approximately 40 minutes, a situation that Musk initially attributed to a server attack. However, he later revised this explanation, attributing the delay to “unforced errors” by the X team, as well as possible Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks, wherein a server is overwhelmed with traffic from fraudulent users. Musk acknowledged the efforts of the X team in addressing these issues, stating, “But good work by the X team fending off the attacks and fixing our mistakes! All’s well that ends well.”
During the interview, Trump and Musk engaged in a comprehensive discussion of several pressing issues pertinent to the upcoming 2024 presidential election, including topics such as immigration, foreign policy, inflation, governmental spending, and energy.
This high-profile interview has captivated audiences and initiated dialogue among citizens regarding the future political landscape.
